The list is shorter for the mods that do require a chip.

Really high boost levels, valve cover breathers, MAF swaps, and larger injectors are all that I can think of now.

1) Cone filter kit.
2) Efan
3) Heat Exchanger
4) FTVB
5) SBTB
6) Upper Plenum (C&L or JLP sheet metal are the only ones i am aware of on the market right now)
7) Full Exhaust (Cat back and headers/mids)
8) Suspension mods
9) Traction Bars
10) 2lb pulley is generally considered safe without a tune, but it opens up a whole new can of worms as to whether or not a tune will be required with a pulley or not (+2 +4 +6lb)

Of the list above, you'll see the most benefit/thrills from a filter kit, ftvb, traction bars, and possibly efan. The rest is kind of hit or miss on performance gains.

I concur... (except maybe #10, but that has been debated alot)
