Default best chip for a 00 s2000

Does any one know what chip would be best for a 00 s2000 with nothing done but intake, headers and exhaust? I was looking at the Amuse Hi-Tech Rom or the Spoon chip. Which is better. Or is there another out there that would do better. Thanks

i thought those chips were not good for our cars because they are calibrated for japanese gas. if you don't want a standalone, get an emanage ultimate or vafc NEO.

I wouldn't waste your cash on those. Get an emanage ultimate or an ecu from a 02-03.

Those chips are close to 1k and hardly give you much performance at all, a couple hp at best.

Seems like a waste of money to me.

A big waste of money. for 300-400 dollars more you can replace your ecu with an AEM standalone and tune it to whatever MAP you want.
