the #1 chip
Who makes the best performance chip for a 1987 944na? The two big name brands that I hae seen are Weltmeister and Autothority, and I am trying to decide where to purchase my chip. Thanks

Time for a trip back to FAQ land:
quoted off of link below:
Performance gains:
Normally Aspirated Cars
Zero to minimal. Some chips will trade low-end torque for some loss at high end (minimal, in the 5 hp and below range). Damage is unlikely to result to your car, but the engine could be damaged if the programmers were clueless like running the engine too lean which would lead to detonation (knocking, pinging) and the subsequent engine destruction. You may also notice a slightly different engine note because of the advanced timing.

Do your research, it has the possibilty of anwsering a lot of questions.
