new 302 EFI, need help on computer chip

Hello everybody, 85 F-150 EFI Auto. 4x2 (re-built trany. and rear end) - 260,000 mi. on body, 10,000 on new engine. I'm in Denver, Co. and travel quite a bit in the high country. Lots of high mtn. passes ( 8500 feet plus ). No mods. on motor except K&N filter. I know at some point I'll get cat back duals, (and thats about it) but could you suggest a computer chip for this? Is there a chip company or something I could contact? I just need more hp for the mtn. passes, no towing, just hp. No racing around town, just need more power for mtn. highway climbing. (descending is fast and furiuos with little accelerator work!) Also, I can't get my passing gear after 10,000 feet (altitude).
Any thoughts?

Thank you kindly

Can't chip an 85. Even many 86s can't be chipped.
