Yes, a chip would give you more bhp and a better torque range in 3rd and 4th gear. But to truly take advantage of a chip, your car needs to breath better. So first, I would go with a new exhaust system and a better air breather system before the throttle body.
There is also the problem of too much power for the tranny to handle. My 850T, stock, already can break the front tires loose at 25mph (snow tires) in first gear. And if I catch my daughter doing that, she will start driving the 164!
