Chip December 19, 2005, 03:57:15 PM I have an 88 T-bird 3.8...If i get a chip, would it be worth the money? Is it easy to install? Quote Selected
Chip Reply #2 – December 21, 2005, 10:04:35 AM No and no...Actually I have no idea if there is a chip out there, but your money would be better spent on other upgrades. Better intake and exhaust for starters. Quote Selected
Chip Reply #3 – December 21, 2005, 03:34:23 PM I don't think that chips do anything unless you have modified the engine (ie: heads, cam, intake ect) and you are getting a chip burned to take advantage of the mods. In a stock motor it wouldn't do much of anything and it might even hurt performance. Quote Selected
Chip Reply #4 – December 21, 2005, 03:54:15 PM They do sell chips for a stock HO 5.0 but to my knowledge not a '88 3.8 Bird/Coug... That said a slight increase in timing will help performance, which is 80%-90% of what a chip would do anyway... Quote Selected
