From my research, a chip will really enhance the intake and exhaust mods.
Keep your eyes open on eBay.. i was able to score an AC Schnizter and a Dinan chip for less then $60 each. I'd install the chip at the same time as the mods just for grin factor.. you may want to do it after just for comparisons sake. Note: installing a chip will limit you to 91+ fuel.

I've heard nothing but good things about the Dinan chips.
Go for it ! They're practically giving them away on eBay.

I've tried the Dinan chip, and found that a better investment would be the Jim Conforti software....
