Of course, a chip will help you optimize any mods you do, but that's your choice. I think you are right that the chip is forgiving, and the MAF is said to accept small changes more easily.
Thanks for bringing up the springs. I'm figuring injectors as well. I would probably just get the whole hotcam kit, unless it'd be better to source things otherwise. A couple years ago I had some pm's and then a phone conversation with mrc24x over on the other forum. He'd set up a racer using his stock chip. (He's since gone to an aftermarket chip to get as much as he can out of the setup.) He drove the car in traffic and said it did well on all fronts. It should be noted though that he was using Accel cast runners and TPIS ported 113 heads.
While writing this it came to me that I'm not so set on a setup that's the baddest thing around as much as I want something that's a somewhat proven setup. So if you guys know of a cam, intake, ported 113 head setup that works really well with a specific chip, I'd certainly be willing to give that a good hard look as well.
