You cannot do this without upgrading the lift pump and having gauges.

Also, if you have an auto tranny as little as 50 extra hp will kill it in short order.

Dont forget a free flowing intake and 4+" exhaust.

Its just not as simple as buying a chip/programmer and installing it.

X2 on gauges, lift pump, BHAF, 4'' exhaust. Then start thinking about a chip...
