Rolling-Thunder Well-known member Joined Jul 18, 2003 Messages 76 Location Albany, NY May 4, 2004 #4 It sure did on my 4.6 Couple of things the chip does; Improves the shift schedule of the tranny, so that it doesn't shift as early as it does stock. Advances the timing, and leans out the mixture (stock is too rich) I believe the hp increase is around 15 or so, but don't quote me. Haven't read up on the spec's for a 3.8 chip And, stick with the SCT guys. They are the ones who taught everybody else how to do the tuning.
