you can't put a chip on a ls1 pcm, well, you can, but you need to be good at soldering.



A tune is a good way to increase power, but the pcm is reflashed, not chipped. I would reccomend a couple of bolt ons and a tune, ie, lid, ls6 intake.

You have a lot of reading to do. There are some sticky threads here,
External Engine and Newbie Tech sections that will help you on your
way. Don't be in a hurry and don't do the cheap (or free) just 'cause
it fits the present budget. That's how the aftermarket suckers you,
spend what you've got on cheap **** that gives you nothing is the
name of that game. Investigate first, wrench later, come out ahead.
