Question What will this do to my mileage?

I have been browsing ebay for parts for my 97 lt1 camaro and i came accross a guarlliachipzhigh performance chip. The price on the chip would be around 26 dollars shipping included. The hp gain is said to be between 28 and 43. This sounds like a big improvement for the money but what i am worried about is that my gas mileage will get much worse becuase the car is my daily driver. Any suggestions/ideas?

I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt that chip is legit, look at the name for instance. And there is no way you will gain those numbers on that price.

i think your gonna be disappointed with no performance gains and very disappointed when nothing happens to your gas mileage..you dont have a chip..your comp will benefit from a good tune..try the sponsors over there >>>> or even some of the board members do tunes..stay away from those false claims if they are too good to be true then that usually is the case

You are aware that your year LT1 does NOT use a chip right?
