Stage II H.P. chip for 98 Z-71??

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to get a Programmer Or HP chip (if 98 used one) for a 98 Z-71 with a 350 at a reasonable cost? I want a little more HP and really need the fuel economy!! I already have a TB spacer and that made a lot of difference! I am buying a K & N air filter and hope this helps to! Let me know!!

You can find the info you seek at http://www.fastchip.com .
I currently am running the stage II in my wifes 93 shortbed 350 TBI and was amazed at the difference, both performance AND fuel mileage increase. Not to mention the chip is only 159.00 compared to over 200.00 for the others. good luck

Throttle Body spacer - An aluminum block that sits between the intake manifold and the throttle body. Some trucks it does wonders - some trucks it makes things worse. It all depends on how your truck is setup. Only way to know is to get one and see.

Throttle spacer

I put a throttle body spacer on in about ten minutes and it has a lot more throttle response and gets better fuel economy!!! Get on e-bay and do a search for chevy throttle body spacer and take a pick!! I got mine from tnt motorsports and never had a problem at all!! Quick shipping as well!!
