I hear that the jet chip is junk and some others which would be the best for the 4.2 v6

I found this on the internet, not really a performance chip, infact i think it even hurts your gas mileage by like 1/2 a mpg, but its supposed to give you some hp and torque. I got one, and my truck seems to accelerate faster

Its basically an inexpensive resister that increases throttle pedal sensitivity. It doesn't give any increase in power, just tricks the foot into thinking so. That probably accounts for why mileage decreases. The same effect can be had for about $2.00 and a little solder.
