Chips haven't been used since the C4 days. There are tunes that can be purchased online, you can purchase your own tools and tune the car yourself or you can take the car to a tuning shop.

Chips are old school, you need a tune, long tube headers & an x pipe & a tune would be a good start

You're best bet is to find a reputable performance shop that can tune C7's.
Determine what performance you're looking for and shop around.
I believe the TCM's may need to be removed and unlocked by HPTuners.
Good luck!

Just get a Soler Throttle Controller and Throttle body. Then go from there.

I agree with the above. Using the Soler products will really change the personality and driving experience. It is surprising how much better the car drives with the throttle controller alone. It totally gets rid of the tip in acceleration "problem" and with the various settings, you can get the best for your wants. I use Ludicrous 1. While not making the car faster per se, it might be all you need ... until you need more.
