Chip Tuning Pros And Cons

I am a new member and I have a '96 3.0 ranger. I've had it since new. I am interested in installing a performance chip for better mpg and power. Any thoughts? tkovacs123

Chips are sorts generic, one size fits all. It may work well, it may not. The better solution is the bama engine programer. It's tuned specifically for your computer and truck and come with 3 tunes. Pros, it's produces more torque and hp and even better mpg. Cons, it works best with high grades of fuel. Doug at bama can do tunes for 87 octane, but 92 and 93 or the bomb.
