Any Ford Chip from 94-04 would work, they have the same connectors.
it costs anywhere from $50-100 to get it programmed, depending on who does it, and whether or not you get it dynotuned.
with NO other modifications, maybe 5-7 hp. If you have intake & exhaust mods maybe 12, more if you have a cam.
But you'll have to use 91+ octane while you have it in. if you want to run 87, you'll have to remove the chip, which is kind of a pain, but no big deal . ..

how much does it cost to have a chip programmed? where can I get one that will work for a 96 5spd? how much HP will you gain from a chip?
