Default Performance chip

Just purchased a 2014 C7 7M Z51 Mag Ride, wanting to install a performance chip. Any recommendations?
TIA...Ernie

I dont think the c7 has a perf chip that you can put into the car. It is all done now by HP tuning by going into the computer & chging up stuff to get more HP out of it. I think the chips went out on last yer was the c4 vetts. Now you can do a tune that was chg a few things going thur your OBD2 plug.that is just under your S/wheel that you plug into to be able to read any of the cars codes.Robert

I don't think you'll see a big change in performance without doing any other mods. If you live in an area where E85 is available thats a pretty cheap mod and they can tune it at the same time. Best single mod I've done to a stock setup.

There is no performance chip for the C7. That is an old school thought from the 70s. Performance for these cars is engine modifications up to and including forced induction and a Dyno tune of the ECM to peak out the performance. Either of which is a warranty killer. No chips found.

We offer easy to use devices with preloaded tunes that you can install in your driveway. Gains are on average 20+ rwhp, plus better throttle response, improved shifting, etc.

Let me know if you need any more info.


Thanks

If that is your goal +2 on the Diablo Sport tuner , it will take you well into the bolt on mod stage with a custom tune from Lew ....

Diablo with a Diabo Lew tune is a good value. You can also set parameters like idle speed, DOD delete, CAGS off, and many other items.

I purchased a Diablo sport tuner for my C6
when I got my 2016 C7 ZO6 3lz I called Diablo and they allowed me 1 time reboot to install it. Works great and could feel the difference in all areas and modes
