Default Performance Chips

Hello all - I am looking to put a performance chip on my 2015 Stingray and was just curious if anyone can tell me if you have done this and if you noticed any noticable increase in HP or is this just a waste of time and money?? Thanks and Happy Holidays everyone!

There are no performance chips on the C7s. It's all BS. Chips were back in the 60s.

You can tune the ECM and that's it! If you tune the ECM, you can kiss your warranty good bye!

Merry Christmas!

Well not quite as far back as the 60s. Performance Proms were used to replace the Proms manufacturers used in the first computerized engine systems in the early to mid 80s. Once that became known the technology was quickly adapted to eliminate Proms and do everything with some form of permanent re-writeable memory which is what is available now. You buy a program loader and program the memory with revised entries for the various table locations.
