first there is no "chip" for the car. the computer is a lot more sophisticated than that and it is re-flashed with program adjustments or even new operating systems to tune it. a "C"AI is for the most part a waste of "power" money. i'd get headers and get a real dyno tune or purchase a full featured tuning suite like EFIlive or HP Tuners and wide band O2 sensor hardware to do it yourself. the "canned" tunes of the pedator leaves a lot on the table and is limited so you're hamstrung in the future. if you have a stick by all means get a GMM, Billet or Hurst shifter. after you get that established (or at the same time if you have the coin) a cam with under drive pulley makes a nice addition. a catback is a waste of money for power as it's very little bang for the buck. with just more HP tho it quickly becomes apparent that you need other stuff to make the car better rounded like suspension upgrades, better tires, etc.
if you race, a stick is going to need a clutch almost right away and if it's an auto a good stall torque converter
