when i got my LS1 last saturday, i was told it had a performance chip in it (dont ask me the make or anything like that) as well as the whole SLP package and other mods. anyways my skip shift light comes on but it doesnt lock me out of 2nd, do you think the after market chip overrided the skipshift feature even though the "skip shift" still illuminates?

If you aren't racing the **** out of your car the whole time the 1-3-5 shifting pattern is more comfortable for just driving the car around town. There isn't a need to shift into each gear unless you are racing. Skip shift was set up a little too conservative though.
