First question I would have is, why? Are you going to be making that much power? If not, it's hard to beat the OE controller. Plus, you won't have all the communications issues you'll have going standalone.

Hi Ed,

thanks for your answer.
Now we are about 1000 HP and i thougt there would be more possibilities with a free controller.

Steve,

I would do everything you can to keep the stock controller. Especially in a Corvette. Too many other issues will arise going to a standalone. Plus, you should be able to achieve your HP goals no problem with the OE controller.

PS, see ya in July!! LOL
