Default Chipped, or not to be chipped

I have a P28 ecu and was wondering what else happens when you chip it besides raised rev limiter, and speed cut?

well....what mods do you have done to your car? and what program (re-chipped) ecu are you talking about? What brand? If you don't have much done to your car, I would not suggest getting a program to raise your rev limiter. Because when you accidentally miss a shift while racing or something and rev your engine out to like 10,000, you're not going to be happy.

Other aspects of a chipped ecu include more aggresive fuel maps (better performance, decreased MPG). And more...a little out of it from a rough weekend sorry.

I am currently in the process of putting a B20vtec in and was wondering if i should get it chipped. It will be a stock USDM b20z block, and a stock JDM b16a head, and a GSR tranny.

Forget it. No chip burner out there is gonna have a map for your set up. It could even damage your motor. Your best bet is something like a VAFC or a real deal standalone and dyno time. Check out the Turbo magazine that is out right now.
