Is there really much benefit of installing an aftermarket chip in a 5 Speed car ?? 89 5.0 Specifically ??
I have a Diablo chip from another EEC-IV application I'd like to reuse or sell.

If this is true, the ONLY REAL benefit of an aftermarket Chip in a 5.0 5 Speed car would be to be able to Adjust the MAF Fuel Tables Right ????

Sell the chip. For a 5-oh, bumping the timing up to 13-15 degrees instead will result in better performance than installing a chip.

That's kinda what I was thinking of doing.
