Default Computer chip

Does anyone know of a good computerchip for the1989 5.0 302?
i am looking for a little more horsepower and better mpg if possible.
i know nothing about the electronic end of my car so any input on what to buy would be helpful.

Don't waste your money on a jet chip or anything like that...

If you don't have any big mods dont even worry about it... And if you do take it to get a dyno tune..

Unless your car gets strapped to a dyno, the chip is worthless.

Save up for a real tune, or invest in a tuner package like tweecer/pms/moates

good luck,
