Superchip?

[mustangfiveo198]

I have a 89 GT 5.0 with 115,000 miles, I am installing underdrive pulleys right now, I was wondering if it is worth it to get a chip for my stang with that many miles on it.
Any inputs would be good.
Thanks

Definately not worht the money on a stock 5.0L...nothing an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and adjusting the timing won't take care off...

Thanks alot.

don't buy one. i had one for four years and it screwed my computer up. made the car run like crap. worked good at first but after a few years started causing all kinds of problems.

I got a custom burned chip a little while ago, didn't notice much difference and then after about 2 weeks my computer burned out! Total waste of about $400!!

OK,
I see getting a chip is a waste, can someone give me some info on the timing thing?
Thanks alot.

From what I've heard, chips are pretty much worthless until you get forced induction.. til then, put the money torwards something else, plenty of things to upgrade = )

yeah chips are pretty much useless until you need one with lets say a heavly moddied stang or like stated forced induction. Also afpr are pretty ueless to the ome mechainc unless you can get time on a dyno and use wideband o2's to tune your cars fuel pressure for optimun power. timing is best set anywhere around 10-16degrees btdc.
