I'm a newby. Have an 87 Westy and have heard about the "chips and rockers"
being sold by an outfit in Santa Cruz, to increase performance. Does anyone
have any advice on if this is a good upgrade, any possible problems. Perhaps
some of you have done this and have comments about increased performance vs
cost of kit. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks, Tom
