There is no such thing as a performance chip for a C6 corvette. It's a scam...for any car.

Just stop, re-read what you asked and use common sense.
1) It's being sold on ebay (probably from China)
2) It's only $20
If GM could have added something to the car that cost $20 and allowed them to state higher HP and MPG...they would have.
It's absolutely a scam. Too good to be true.

As long as you buy two chips they will work, one chip alone won't make enough power!

You question whether Chips really work? Look at those smiles and tell me Chips don't work.
