SEARCH
no offense, but do you really think that nobody has asked this before, and that you couldnt get a much faster answer by looking for something that someone else has asked and posted about?
search, DO IT.

Don't waste your money on headers. Probably the last upgrade you need to buy...our OBD-II headers flow pretty great already.
Get a 3.5" MAF, true CAI and M50 intake manifold...then get a tune for it.

Best chip is one that is set up for the mods you have made.
The most common bolt-ons are:
CAI, 24lb blue fuel injectors, headers and free flowing exhuast. Then later throw in some bigger cams...
big bore throttle body, bigger intake tube and mass air sensor, DTC traction control throtle body delete...ect ect
obd1 cars, anything up to 1995 with an ecu gets a "chip"
obd2 cars, anything 1996 and up get the ecu reflashed, you will need to send ecu out or go to someone that can reflash the ecu. Or get something like the J. conforti shark injector.
m50 obd1 manifold has wider intake runners and gets better top end power but looses a little mid range torque.

Yep, the OBD1 intake mani flows better in the upper RPMs than our OBD2 manifold, but you'll feel as though you lost a bit of torque in the lower RPMs. It's not gone...just moved. That works even better when you get some other goodies and buy a Shark Injector or other easy tuning methods. With the removal of the rev limiter it means that your M50 intake manifold is going to be able to do it's thing for a few hundred more RPM.
My car: M50 intake manifold, UUC ltw flywheel/M5 clutch/SSK, Dinan V1 cat back, ZHP shift knob and debaffled my air box. Not too much but it feels much better than stock.
