I got a free chip from someone and it was great, car went good but It developed a Terrible high idle and crap crap crap mileage, and when you first start it hot it idles REALLY high and then slowly slowly goes down to 1000. Too high. Put the stock chip in, has a 750 rpm idle and decent mileage and when starting warm the idle would go straight to normal. But it is obviously alot less powerful and stalls randomly at stops and when putting it in gear. So im on the hunt for a new chip this spring, i would trust the guys who specialize in these cars only. I DOUBT any big name people would make real chips for these low production cars

If anyone is willing to bring there car here to Michigan,  I know of a great tuner that will dyno tune AND street tune the vehicle live with you there.  Typically takes 4 hours.

1. Do a idle relearn
2. Some folks from this forum, Flybynite, TGPilot, JEFFM, and others are experts on the tune for this car in my book and their prices for chips are reasonable (IMHO).
2004 GTP -  3.8 Blown - Only modding for MPG.
1997 GTP  - 3.8 Blown - Too many mods to list.
1996 GTP - 3.4 DOHC - Twin to my 1997.
1995 SE - soon to be a 3.8 turbo car.
1990 TSTE x 2 white cloth
1990 TSTE x 1 maroon leather
1990 TGP - 5 speed.
