My work car, for the moment, is a 1989 Grand Prix and I just learned that it has a chip in it to determine the timing and stuff and there are replacement chips available on eBay. Am I really going to see a benefit from buying one of those?

And for my 1997 Mustang, will the local Ford dealership be able to reprogram my ECU, or would I need to find a very special place?
