Is there a performance chip for me?

After some research It seems that if I ask which company makes the best chip, 9 out of 10 will say Diablo Sport. I am still unsure if they make one for an 88 bronco with 302 because it isn't listed on their site. Do they make a chip for me? Also what is the differnece between a chip and a tuner? Current modifications to my truck are: intake, throttle body spacer, long tube headers and true duals. I would like my chip to be able to correct the spedometer to compensate for 35 inch tires, give firmer shifts and raise the rev limiter (if possible). Also, is it possible to not have to upgrade the fuel and where would be the best place to buy one?

What is the code on the white sticker on the computer box? Its going to be in a fairly large font, about 1/4 inch. Whether it can be programmed is entirely up to that code. It requires premium, speedometer can't be corrected with the computer on a Bronco (you'll need to change the speedo gear the tranny). Best place to buy (IMHO):

Tuners won't work on your vehicle, 1996 and newer only.
