Default GFORCE High Performance Chip

Has anyone heard of or used this chip? According to their web site for $69 it sounds too good to be true and we all know what they say about "too good to be true"!

I might be wrong but I dont think you can "chip" a C5. I used them in my C4 but you need to tune the computer on a C5.

Chips on our car (if you can actually do it)..... = .... waste of money

Your car form the factory will run rich around ~11.8 air/fuel.

A Dyno tune at a Corvette Tuner is the BEST way to dial in your air fuel ratio for best fuel economy and power increase.

You will NOT NEED a Dyno tune until.... you add a better air intake, exhaust, and full length headers. You will need to make sure your air/fuel ratio does not go above 13.0 once you add parts like I mentioned above. This is where a full dyno tune comes in handy.

If you don't have plans to open up the intake or exhaust then you can get a dyno tune for the fun of it. You might gain at most 10rwhp/10rwtq. Most Corvette tuners charge around $400.

You'll make better use of that money if it went into your gas tank!

Our cars do not use chips.. A PCM is what they use in modern day cars.. I have not heard of Chips or Carbuerators, distributors in years.. Thats all old school stuff
