A chip won't help you at all. Just set your (base) timing up and run super unleaded. Chips reconfigure fuel amounts and timing on distributorless ignitions. Your model had a distributor. Hope this helps a little.

Well, actually, that I going to depend on your motor (how much increase you will notice). Never tried one on my 91 2.3L though. Never know, could unlock the beast in the 'ol 4 banger?? lol

If you want to get some more HP out of your engine then start with the basics such as intake and exhaust. Once you get all the bolt-ons then you might want to have your heads ported and polished or bore your engine out to a 3.0. Then you'll get some good HP increases. You could probably get your heads ported/polished and all the bolt ons for less than a grand.
