Do I need a custom programmed ECU?

With my mods, would I bennifit from having the computer programmed or a custom chip burnt?

Im sure that you could, but i dont think that it would be worth all the money. I cant see you really gaining that much more power . Thats just my opinion though

I have personally seen a tuner squeeze power out of a stock car. When you add mods there is just more potential for power to be gained. You would probably pick up 15 hp with a tune maybe more. I say go for it if you can afford it. Are you done with the car or are you gonna keep modding it?

I'll never be done with my car! It isn't HP gains I am looking for as much as drivability. Most of my buddies are F-body guys, LT1 and LS1's and after mods when they did the programming it helped HP a little but drivability was night and day after the programming. However, thier engines are much more electronic than the 5.0HO and are OBD computers, which are very sensitive and doesn't learn much, everything has to be in the computer or it's going I like the Tweecer setups, sounds sweet.
