Ever tried to buy a 3 piece suit for a 40 yo white male using average numbers? Same thing. It probably won't fit well so you'd have to make it a "one size fits all". I never buy that sort of junk. I might as well spend it on blow and hookers.

If you have a 350 HP LT1, you already have 50 more horsepower than they came with from the factory.

Your not going to get any more out of it with some off the shelf "chip".

95 has a Flashable PCM, so he would have to have his reflashed. It is not like 93 and older where we replace, and or reprogram the memcal.

Thanks for all the info. I am steering clear of this waste of money and following aklim advice. This forum rocks for new corvette owners.

You can buy this and make changes yourself like bringing the fans on sooner, tire height, and even dabble in tuning yourself:
