It truly sounds like classic connection issues.

Did you clean both sides of the contacts?

Lonnie at Blue Oval Chips would be my first suggestion, he knows the "dos and donts" in regards to these cars.
As for the intake, save your money and apply that to the chip.
The stock mark 8 intake and MAF are perfectly suited for a near stock mark 8 that isn't running forced induction {blower or turbo}
Dont buy into the "Larger MAF" hype as it's just that.. HYPE.. expensive HYPE.
Ok, I just placed an order today with LincolnMotorsport to get there chip.
I hade my mark dyno tuned a long time ago for those that know him by Jerry W when he was around.
If I had to pick a chip today, it'd also be from Lonnie ...

what are the stock shift points? i have a big feeling that my chip isnt installed right after reading about people who both this same chip and had difficulties with the connection. Genes directions say to take the contact down to where i see copper, the directions that come with the diablochip say otherwise.
someone said the chip makes the car idle high, whats the stock idle?
my car shifts 1-2 at like 5800-5900 ish.
as per the "idle speed" i dont understand what you mean.
what do you mean by infamous?
