    yes, it's worth it, being that you have alot of mods done to your engine...but most importantly is to get it tuned. the ones on ebay are good as long as you buy it from a good seller that does good work. and make sure it's crome ready as well..

    well if all you got is small bolt ons, then chipping wouldnt be really nescesasacasary ( spelling ownz lol ) just run off the stock ecu or whatev for now until you get them cams, then tuning or chipping will get you power

    get a conversion harness from www.boomslang.us (never seen a bad harness or issue from him and they are cheap). stay away from the jdmshit and skunk conversion harnesses.

    i can socket/chip your ecu or get you one already socketed/chipped as well as dyno tune. your best bet is to tune it once you get the cams so you are not tuning it twice.

    feel free to pm me for information.
