More zip from chip

Has anybody installed a performance chip on thier 05 LS2? I'm thinking about installing a chip and a K&N filter set up. Any advice?

You can have your C6 ECM/PCM 'computer' tuned but to the best of my knowledge there is no miracle chip for the C6. IMO if someone is claiming a performance chip for the C6 it's a ripoff.

The last chips for ECM's were in the C4's up to early 90's. My 1985 C4 had a stroker 383 and Zindustries burned a chip for the computer and pluged it in. After that you simply reprogram the computer. So don't buy one because they don't exist!!!

find a good tuner with C6 knowledge here on the forum or in your area. No chips in the C6 unless you get some Doritos at the corner store...

Or maybe they're selling you a $150 Window Valet and calling it a $400 performance chip... Hey this is my idea, don't anyone beat me to it!
