    go to the general tech section and find the "safely modding your 3800 car"

    read that thread, and then re-read it.

    And there are not "chips" for these car, we have PCM's, so the whole computer has to be changed.

    but first read about modding, then do it.

    that tread helped me alot and you have to learn what your car likes in the process. Just cuz so and so can run this knock free dont mean you can.

    First mod that must be done is a way to scan for KR. The interceptor guage is one of my favorites cuz you can look at so many things the car is doing as you drive. The guage is pricey but when you get it and start modding it will save your motor if you have knock and let off at the right times.

    Drilled and slotted actually effect stopping none. Upgrading brake pad size... more surface area w/ applied pressure = better stopping.
