Default performance chip

Just curious what you all think is the best one. I just bought a 94 and it has the granatelli MAS, headers, and k&n intake. I was thinking about the JET stage 2, but wasn't sure. Thanks!

You can't put a chip in your car, it's a flash style ECM.

You will have to order an updated ECM !

Depending on your year corvette you would use a chip for the ecm or a hand tuner. I have a 89' and bought the stage one chip and installed myself. Now that i have it in the car is alot smarter now.The fan activates at a lower temp to keep your engine cooler, the transmission now has better shift points and among other things also better gas milage! I also installed a cool air intake and a 373 ring and pinion, man is it different car! You will benifit from using chip or tuner.
