Where would it plug in? I dont know alot about the computer in the LT1 or anything but Im thinkin' you get what you pay for. Five dollars doesnt go a long way these days. Youd be better off putting that money into something tried and true.

Same deal with that German one. It seems with that listing thier using the word "German" alot. Kind of using it to convey a higher standard to some crap they want to sell off. But who knows. Maybe Im wrong. Buy one and tell everyone what happens. ????

If you'll buy that, then I've got some ocean front property in Arizona you might be interested in. I'll sell it real cheap.

Total junk.

What these chips do is provide false data to the ecu to try to get it to increase timing, change the fuel mixture, etc. Not only will this likely not gain you anything, it could cause things to not run correctly.

You can gain power by changing the tune, but you need to do it properly (mail order or custom tune that actually changes the program), not just altering the input parameters.
