Putting more than 2 chips in will require more complex work as the voltage supplies need to be beefed up to handle the chips as well as cooling needs to be increased. Talking about cooling, these chips run hot and are located in the engine bay so adding heatsink to chip (even the stock one) will help. For advanced applications water cooling can also be applied.
