Stealth Ram

I'm gonna get a stealth ram when I get enough money(AKA when I get a job.) Will I have to get a chip burned for this?

It would probably be recommendable. I know the chips guy for Pcmforless is outstanding with third gens.

buy a single plain carb intake and convert it. it will cost about eht esame adn allow for more power over a broader rpm range. any front loader box has air flow flaws, top loaders distribute the air charge evenly.
in the conversion you can also locate teh injectors higher in the runner which allows for better mix and since gas is evaporative the actual charge temp will go down slightly.
either way you shoudl definately do a chip to take full advantage of your efforts.

If you're referring to the posts I made in the past, then no. The shop we were using was just that. The chip guy from PCMForless was flying up from North Carolina to do the tuning.

But yes, he is VERY good with these cars.

now woudl be a good time for all of you to go to www.thirdgen.org adn look at the diy prom board. it is a cheap alternative to getting someone else to redo your chip everytime you change something. home chip burning is simple and accurate adn also allows the luxary of tuning for both WOT adn highway use, not jstu a "dyno" chip.
there is no reason to fear "blowing the car up" , there are plenty of people around to give good advice adn even a few programs that will self correct your tables from data logs.

I know this is slightly off topic but i have the Edelbrock Pro Flo EFI system. Its a great system out of the box and i didnt have to tune it that much at all and anytime a reprogram is necessary its so easy. I just recently bought a laptop and PRO FLO tuning software that has all the goodides in it liek a data analyzer/recorder and everything!!!!! the throttle response and gas mileage are great (well for 4.56;s that is!!!!).
