Hi John,
I agree with Jwocky.
There's been quite a bit of discussion on this board about chip mods. I too asked the question. The concensus appears to be that a chip mod by itself is not worth the outlay because the performance improvements are minimal.
The greatest improvement you are likely to see is swapping the engine for a 3.4 or 3.6L from a 996. that's a big job. Or look for a turbo upgrade.

Ultimately it is your boss's decision, but I decided I would save the pennies for the next Boxster once this one is paid off......
