Here are some more information for Firebird Power:

The Chevrolet Camaro first came into being in the USA in 1966. General Motors, Chevrolet's parent company, had to develop a car to give much needed competition to the market dominating Ford Mustang. The 1967 Camaro shared a chassis and many main components with the Pontiac Firebird (one more General Motors company), and so the speed and finances needed to make the Camaro were massively reduced.

Often called a a muscle car, or 'Pony' car, a term that back then referred to compact cars that were affordable and had a sports feel about their looks (a style initiated by the Ford Mustang in 1964), the Camaro joined an ever increasing selection of vehicles that were pushing for an ever growing demand. US buyers loved the engine, the look and the low cost of such vehicles and the growing sales guaranteed that plenty of manufacturers made their own variations out as rapidly as possible.

The 1970's and 80's saw the Camaro's heyday, when the car was sought after by millions of car enthusiasts, not only in the States but across the globe. The balance of looks, performance and various TV shows romanticizing muscle cars contributed to a massive demand, and the desire for enthusiasts to own one never disappeared.

Five distinct generations of the car have been built. Generations one to four were produced between 1966 and 2002 (when producing of the Camaro and Firebird both ceased), and production of the fifth generation Camaro started again in 2009 and even with opposition to such environmentally unfriendly muscle cars from environmental campaigners, the Camaro has been shown to once again be a big success with the North American public.

The Camaro was at times available in a hardtop and a convertible, the convertible was hugely popular with buyers from sea bordering areas who loved the thought of driving along the beach side streets with the roof down, the stereo up and the baseball caps on. A variety of Camaro's have appeared on screen, most notably a Camaro was the vehicle mode car for the Bumblebee character from the 2007 feature film Transformers, being both a 1976 second generation model, and later in the movie moving to a fifth generation version. The Camaro has a huge number of enthusiasts with some owners having owned every version of the car at one time or another and others holding on to 1960's variations and maintaining them in pristine condition.

The car has been a very popular car for modification during the cars lifetime, with many buyers spending time and cash adding aftermarket additions to improve their car's looks and power. Camaro's have also been hugely strong in racing winning many Trans-Am series titles and any number of other races and championships through its lifetime. Plenty of racers still use old generation Camaro's even now and are still very successful, winning against much more modern cars.

The Camaro is still with us today, and with its history, performance and eye catching looks from the latest incarnation, the car is sure to be around for years to come.

What is a Super Chip?

Your Ford Mustang is a true pony car. A coupe with class and no other car on the road is like it. Heck, GM abandoned the Camaro and Firebird while Mustang sales continue to surge. Could it be that Mustang owners know a good thing when they drive it? You bet! Still, maybe you have considered ways to ratchet up the performance. Even with a V8 installed, perhaps you could squeeze out more power from an already potent engine? If that is the case for you a superchip may be right. However, are they worth it?  Let's take a look at these little technological wonders and see if a super chip is what you really want.

So, exactly how does a superchip work? That's easy! Every car comes with a computer chip - much like the one the central processing chip that powers your computer. Your stock chip helps to regulate a bunch of things including fuel flow to your engine, horsepower, torque, etc. Unfortunately, stock chips aren't maximized for performance so the chip you get isn't necessarily conducive to enhancing power.

Enter the Super Chip!

A Superchip or "Super Chip" puts the muscle into your chip. Either through completely replacing your current chip with a performance chip or sending out your chip to be modified, the end result is a tiny little device packed with more power. In actuality, the power isn't in your Ford Super Chip, instead it is in the instructions that the chip contains.

The Super Chip is modified to help boost horsepower, increase torque, and raise fuel mileage. So how can fuel mileage improve...shouldn't it actually drop with more power? Well, the short answer is no. Because a superchip works to fine tune your engine, a better tuned engine requires less fuel. Because a super chip manages to work so precisely it can deliver on all three areas - better horsepower, more torque, and improved fuel economy - without compromise. This means you get a more potent car that is also more fuel efficient.

So, back to the original question: are they worth it? Well, that is for you to decide. However, if keeping your current car is your goal then for a few hundred bucks a super chip is a smart idea. No need to trade your car in for a new, pricey model. Simply take your existing car and supercharge it.

When shopping for a super chip you must be aware that the chips are developed with your specific make/model of car in mind...all the way down to the type of engine underneath the hood. Some manufacturers of Ford super chips or other famous maker chips require you to take out your current chip and overnight it to the chip manufacturer, get it modified, and have it overnighted back to you. In this case your car would be out of commission for 2 or 3 days.

On the other hand, some manufacturers simply swap out your stock chip with a new one. That all depends on which chip model you select and the price you are willing to pay for your superchip.
