Power chips
I keep seeing advertisements for power chips in RV materials. I was wondering if anyone had installed one of these chips and their results? I have a Workhorse chassis and a 8.1 liter engine.

Just can't help thinking if the manufacture wanted you to get max power out of your engines they would make them to operate at the higher edge of the engines capacity. They are set the way they are for a reason.
For someone to tell you to do this or that it'll be ok, then ask yourself if they"ll be their when you start to have engine problems with a open wallet to help pay your repair bills.
There have been hotrodders in this world since the day the first vehicle was moved by an engine.
And there have always been some whose comfort zone is always "within the rules"
As a longtime hotrodder with direct experience with the OP's question, your answer of "if they wanted it to run better, "They" would have made it so" is just an expression of your comfort zone. You are welcome to it, enjoy, no hard feelings for sure. But you did not address the OP's question.
YES, there is more. There is always more.
FYI, I own a built by me 68 Camaro... Aftermarket everything... 550 horsepower, 12 second quarter mile's, AND 21 mpg.
Note the original ran the quarter in 16 seconds, and got 12 mpg....
There is always more.
