Chip Question for 5.7

Good morning, for me anyway lol, all 3rd gen brothers. I have a question and I hope this is the right place. If not please let me know where I need to post this. Is a power chip worth putting in my car. She's an 86 with a 350 motor swap from a 90 IROC with 26,000 miles on it. Its a stock engine as is my IROC. I'm just throwing the idea around in my head about getting a chip. Thanks ahead of time everyone.

It's not worth it if you pay more than $10. And even then it's probably not worth it.
