Pretty much every thing is ok with or without a chip. Most important when you do get your chip make sure to tell the tuner exactly what you do have. You will notice the biggest non-chip difference with a pulley, line-mod (shift kit), throttle body, all of which are easy bolt ons. If you do a gear change you will need a chip to correct your speedo.

You can get a intake (PSP, JL, JDM), pulley (PSP, JL, JDM?), slicks (M/T ET Streets), tractions bars if a 2001 (PSP, Jay Lincoln, JDM), shift kit (PSP/Factory Tech or Level 10), Trans pan (Ford 4x4 or other aftermarket). These are just a few off the top of my head, but there are other things you can do as well.

IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER:

-Modify Stock air-box
-Shift-kit
-Pulley
-Sticky tires
-Nitrous

And of course lightening the load wouldn't hurt either for the best ET.
