Has anyone used a performance chip that made a real difference. How is it installed?

I've been wondering if it would do anything for my daily driver, or should I save my money for something more useful?

Currently it's a daily driver. I just recently removed the A$LD and put in the M50D. Next on the list is replace the BW1350 E with a BW1354 E. (I'd rather have manual, but can't find one at the moment. I have an 8.8 to put in after I swap the ring and pinion gears. I also have a 4.0 from a 92 expl, but want to recondition it before I swap in. Thought I had a dana 35 from the Expl, but after I started looking under the mud and crud discovered some moron had replaced the original 8.8 and D35 with stuff from a BII. (D28, exc)

Here in Oklahoma we get more Ice than snow, and where I live, a lot of mud. I plan to start taking off road after I make some of the mods, there's just not that many places near by at the moment.
Before I do the 4.0 swap, I want to run the 2.9 for a little while, since it's in pretty good shape.

The jet chip is nice is for the 4.0 but not needed, it's wasted money really. There ain't a lot to do with the 4.0. The 4.0 is awesome in te b2. You won't need mods. Especially if you're used to the 2.9
