95 f150 chip/tune/programer

Saw an earlier post but I can't find it now. I have a 95 f150 5.0 with a 5speed bone stock. Would a chip/tune/programmer do me any good for power and/or mpg if so what should I look for. or will something like that total destroy my truck thanks!

Chips usually don't do anything for OBDI vehicles. Personally I would save the money for headers if you want more power.

Just do a good tune up, and maybe bump the timing up to 12° or what ever you can without pinging, and save your money....

An off the shelf chip will net you nothing but a lighter wallet. You can advance the base timing 2-3 degrees yourself and save a bunch of money. That is all those chips do....

Just make sure you have a good quality tune up before chasing more power or MPGs.
