"Got the chip" I think it made a difference. Certainly was a lot more affordable.

I am reminded of the phrase "Yanking my chain"

Bottom line: It ain't so.

Do not let this "mechanic" work on any corvette you own.

a Lot better.

Early LS1 blocks vs 2002-2004 LS6 blocks had very different oiling galleys

late 2003 all LS1 were changed to LS6 block.

part of that challenge may have been most F body guys call ALL LS6s LS1s

I tried a few affordable choices myself......

1) Flux Capicitor
2) Chip
3) Di Lithium Crystals

I think the Di Lithium Crystals made the biggest difference. As long as the Crystals don't overheat, I gain like warp speed in the seat of my pant's..... LMAO
