Hello everyone hoping to get some help and knowledge regarding my 89 mustang. I have the following mods and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what I should be expecting as far as Horse Power and if getting a tuning chip would be beneficial. Also Planning on heads in the near future please send your recommendations.

GT40 upper/lower intake
stock heads
CAM= ADV DU. 257/257, .050 lift = 208/208 degree, and 492/492 lift.
1.6 roller rockers pedestal mount
BBK shorty headers
2 1/2 h-pipe with cats/2 chambers flows
24lb injectors
cold air 75mm pro-am maf
70mm throttle body
3.73 gears

You will not see any real major benefit by having a chip installed with your current mods, while you will see gains it will not be worth the money. You may have added 30-35hp with your mods...
