Stock chip

When I bought my 93 LT1, it came with a hypertech chip in it and a 160 thermostat. I would like to put a stock chip back in and get another thermostat. What and where can I get these.

You can get the thermostat at any parts store, cheap.

The chip and thermostat you have are not going to hurt your car. A lot of guys would not spend the money for the two items, but you already have them.

The chip and thermostat are making the car need to be driven hard. When I need to drive mellow it runs like crap.

I believe that your Hypertech is a "piggyback" type...meaning your stock prom is mated to the Hypertech. Therefore your stock chip (prom) is there within the ECM. Check the Hypertech website to verify.

With the chip in my temps never went over 200 degrees. I wonder how high they will go now. I think I will go with a 195 degree thermostat and see how it works. What temp is the stock thermostat?
