Custom Tuning inch has performance chips from 65, has anyone used them before? Can anyone validate them being a safe product for my corvette? My corvette is a basic stock auto 1987 at them moment but I'm going to hopefully get new headers and a CORSA exhaust system soon.

You do not need to spend money on a chip until you are done with modifications, or absolutely must have the fans triggered sooner.

You are not going to get much of a gain with a mail order chip, even with the Headers and Corsa System. You will benefit from the exhaust pieces, but not because of the chip. The computer can learn those mods anyway. Spend your money on a 3 piece underdrive pulley set to compliment that exhaust upgrade and you will be a happy camper.

Do they have a website? I googled it and didn't get much. $65 for a mail order chip? What is it you expect? Besides lightening your wallet? For $65, I doubt you will get much more than a cheap Hyperjunk.

I would use a mail order chip only if I just had a set of heads, cams, intakes and injector change and that is fine. It is nice to be able to drive the car home to a car hauler. Other than that, I can't say I would prefer it over a dyno tuned chip. Mail order might work if they do data logging. If not, it won't be optimal.
