The only thing you can really chip on a 4.2 is the tranny. Chipping the ECU will not produce anywhere near the gains you see on the 2.7T because the 4.2 is naturally asperated -- nothing to boost!

Here's the URL for the GIAC chip. Gives you a few extra HP. Biggest improvements you can do are in the area of suspension: H-Sport anti-sway bars (great bang for buck), coilovers, upgrade of wheels & tires (these last two dependent upon where you are now), exhaust.
You're not really going to pick up more power -- most people focus on suspension or cosmetics.
