*ADVICE* - power programmer/performance chip

Hey everyone, im looking into buying a performance chip of some kind, but dont know which one works the best for the LS1's.......Any help or suggestions would help me out a bunch. Also, whats about the real HP gain of a chip? the advertisments seem to be misleading....

Thanks, Scott - (2000 Z28 - A4, ttops, Flowmaster exhaust, 4.11 gear ratio)

For your year car, your don't buy a chip. You will either need to send your PCM to a programmer, use a handheld programmer, or purchase tuning software, a laptop and the cable.

Common tuners are Ion at madz28.com or PCMforLess. They should be able to give you realistic HP gains on a fairly stock engine like yours.
