Aftermarket chip

I have looked though a few threads here and i cant seem to find a maker for a chip for the 300ci. I know I have seen it around here before. Can anyone direct me to a link?

We can program one with a Diablo Sport (depending on the box code) or a SCT chip. 770-736-7122. www.motorhaven.com

I bought the SuperChip for my old 92 from Ken (Motorhaven.com).

My 300 was stock except for the K&N Intake. The chip made a slight difference in throttle response and gas mileage (1-2mpg). My truck had a manual tranny so I think that is why I didn't notice a big difference.

A friend of mine put one on his truck (same as mine only an automatic) and he noticed more of a difference due to the adjustment of the shiftpoints.

I would get another one in a heartbeat if I had the automatic. I would probably get one with the manual but it would depend on the price at the time.

I have a 95, I-6 Manual. Im looking to get a little more power and gas mileage. Would this happen to cure the hesitation when first touching the gas, its not bad but it seems to hesitate just for a split second. Also which chip do you recomend the most?

You won't notice a huge gain with your manual on a stock I-6, but you will notice a difference.

What I did, because I couldn't find the right one, was call the number for Motorhaven (770-736-7122) and told them what I had and they found the right chip for me. I also hate buying stuff off the internet so I prefered calling them and talking to a person anyway.

Call and find out. At least they can tell you. I can't see why you wouldn't be able to get one for an 88. It's efi with a ECU.

exhaust system

Well since im going to get a chip, and my exhaust is just about had it. What do you guys suggest as far as aftermarket exhaust? I do have the K&N filter also should go and get a cold air intake or is this not worth the money?
