As a chipped 2.8 owner...(more)
...I sometimes think I'm the loan defender of the electronically altered, normally aspirated world. 
This topic comes up about every few weeks or so and there is quite a bit in the archives. For a more detailed description of my own experience, you can also check out my car and chip findings in the registry.
In short though, the results of chipping a 2.8 will depend greatly on your expectations of what the chip can do. If you're hoping for 25-40 hp gains that the turbo guys enjoy, forget it. If you're looking for better bottom end torque, cleaning up the 3.5K-4.5K flat spot in the power-band and some extra power from 6,000-RPM through to redline, and over-all improved throttle response, you're on the right boat.
IMO it was money well spent and after 8 months, no regrets.
