I'm diggin' on having a "refreshed engine" featuring "Immediate effective". Can't help but be convinced that those "Detailed isntrucitons" are a big help either.

It sure sounds like double talk in their comments about the products.
If you like this idea I have some XRAY specs to see YA.

C'mon guys, this vendor also sells the "Turbonator". If this doesn't scream legit, what does?

Thanks for all the input. I felt the same way when I looked at it, but thought I would ask the experts. I will let my buddy know.

Stage 2 chip WILL help Your Corvette, Just see this.

cThe Chevy Corvette performance chips upgrades the torque of the Chevy Corvette to the extent that now this model is able to stay for longer periods before it goes for unnecessary check ups. You would say that the power chips upon the Chevy Corvette are a check up unto themselves. While it is always understood that the Chevy Corvette does not guzzle much fuel, with the Chevy Corvette chip the fuel consumption is even reduced! Consider the bit about the security codes that now makes it impossible to steal your car because of the effect of the ECU computer which also has a tracking capacity in case one tows away your car especially without authorization. The Chevy Corvette performance chip in addition has developed a homing devise that sets a desired temperature and literally an atmosphere that coincides with the various change of climate in the different states you will travel.
