~10HPon 89 octane gas according to JET, but I dont know how accurate that is. What vehicle are you looking at chiping? A chip might be more benefical on a car with intake/exhasut bolt-ons. Let me know what you got.

well right now i have a stock 1996 ford explorer with a OHV 4.0L V6, i plan on putting in new exhaust a cold air intake and maybe some new headers, and i was wondering if a chip would add some good performance to it

Going with a new muffler, a CAI, then a chip would probably yield a solid gain. Skip the headers. I dont know if they make them for Explorer applications, but I know they made 73mm MAF housing for 4.0 Rangers(94's at least), which seems like it might add a little power when used in conjuction with other intake/exahust mods. I know the MAF for the 4.0's were really small, and the new housing cost ~$125. I saw that on summitracing.com. Also they make larger throttle bodies, but those can be pricey, but I have also heard they do add power at higher RPM's at the expense of some low end torque. If you dont want to spend the $ on a CAI for your car, get a K&N drop in filter for ~$40 and enlarge the opening in the air box with a jig saw. You will feel the differnce.
Do you have an automatic trans.? If so a shift kit of some kind would really make it feel better, the JET chip should offer some trans shift firming, but a kit would be more noticalbe.
If it were my car I would: Get a single Flowmaster 3 Chamber installed, then get a 73mm MAF housing along with a K&N filter and enlarge the opening. After that, I would look into a shift kit(if it cost too much to have installed , forget it) Then maybe a chip. Jet also make some transmission control deal, where you can contro lthe firmness of the shiftsd with a push of a button. Look on their website for applications.
Also do not forget the basics: fuel filter, tire pressure, igntion plugs and wires, etc.
Here the link fo the trans control, whick would eliminate the need for the shift kit:

Heres a link to the MAF, it says its for 91-94 Rangers/Explorers ,but it may work, contact the companies tech line to make sure: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=VOR%2D8A301%2D026&view=32&N=700+4294908331+4294907827+4294924760+400107

Flowmaster 3 Chamber(50 Series): http://flowmastermufflers.com/50_delta.html
Sorry if I was rambling, but if you go with a muffler, CAI, and chip you will definitely pick up a nice amount of power 15-20HP, I would estimiate(on 89 octane gas).
According to K&N, their CAI for yor car is worth 6HP(max difference over stock). Then add your FLowmaster and you will probably pick up another 5HP. The chip would be worth ~8-12 HP thoughout the RPM range. The MAF I was talking about sits right behind the air filter box on the car and clamps to the intake tube. Th housing is grey, and the senor is screwed on to the top of the housing. The senor is a black sqaure with a plug in one end. The new MAF might be worth 3+ HP at the top of the RPM range.

On an Explorer the best thing to do would to be have an exhaust shop install the Flowmaster. That would probaly cost ~$240 max. Dont worry about the headers, not worth it. The next thing to do would be replace the catalytic converters with a single hi-flow one(2-5HP?)
Dont worry about buying a catback exhaust or full exhaust just take it to an exhaust shop and talk with them about it. They could tell you what they can do and tell you what it would cost.
