Default Performance chips?

Hey guys,
I've been hearing about performance chips for vettes that actually make a difference. Just looking for a quick mod, that will boost HP a little bit. Let me know, if anyone has had one, negative and positive feelings about the chips would be appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time!

I don't have any experience with chips, but you can have a LS1 edit done to optmize your performance after your mods.

C5' PCM's are usually modified and not replaced. There are some companies that will exchange out the PCM based on the moifications you tell them ab
iout. The more common approach is an LS1 Sdit at a dyno shop. Some people will but a Hypertech or similar, but they are limited as to what they can change.
