Basically, if your expectations aren't too high, then you won't be disappointed. The gains will be minor, but so is the cost (on here).
Far greater gains are to be had by first making sure your engine is running as it should. Are the valve clearances correct? When, if ever, were the injectors reconditioned? Any air leaks on the inlet side, condition of distributor cap and rotor etc., etc.?

I'm not expecting massive gains from the chip but hear it improves the drive. I've nearly finished on my engine. I've done valves, had my injectors cleaned by injector tune on here, all new belts, filters, water pump, thermostat,all new gaskets where needed, cleaned the icv, all new coolant hoses, checked for air leaks I've been busy for the last couple of weeks lol
I do want to change my dizzy cap and rotor where is the best place to get one from?
Cheers scott
