Anyone chipped an LS3
Does anyone have any experience chipping a LS3, I was looking at the Gforce and they claim my 436 hp will go to almost 500?
Price is right and if this is the case, then maybe the 2011 will keep up with the 74, Pro's/Cons????? the 11 has 3000 miles on it if that matters.

Is this a scam?
Thanks

Pretty much. You can look at this in one of two ways - either the company knows that it's a lie (see above post) but still sells it anyway which makes it a scam. OR, they don't know that it doesn't work on Corvettes in which case why would I want to install something on my motor from a company that doesn't know what they're doing? Take your pick.

Pretty much anyone that refers to it as chipping on the newer vehicles don't know what they are doing or trying to scam you.
The stock ls3 tune has plenty of timing and is maybe a little rich at wide open throttle. A few horses can be found.

DO NOT BUY THAT G-FORCE GARBAGE! It is literally a module or "chip" that splices into the IAT sensor wiring. It is NOT a new ECM calibration or "tune".
If you want a little more power, get a good dyno tune or mail order tune from a reputable shop. On a stock LS3, I don't think you'll get much more than ~15 rwhp, but I could be wrong on that.
