Do you have an auto an manual? A manual will take a lot more stock then a auto stock. With a manual a good clutch is about all you really need. As for the auto, a better torque converter and valve body is strongly recommended.
Before a chip, a good lift pump like FASS or AirDog is pretty much mandatory. Unless you like buying injection pumps that is. A fuel pressure gauge is #1. That VP NEEDS a absolute minimum or 8 PSI, and 10 - 20 is preferred.

what he said, and a bone stock auto with good fluid is barely enough for a prolonged 90hp tune

get a chip drive with it on low settings save up for a trans because a stock trans is only going to last so long before it goes even without a chip

The chip will also help with mileage, helping you save to for a better trans!
