Most of the gains come from advancing the timing and richening up the injectors. You can do the same thing yourself for about a buck. Find the air inlet temperature sensor and add resistance to trick the computer into thinking it is 25 degrees colder outside. The computer will automajicaly richen your fuel and advance your timing and you get more power. Not sure exacally how the chevy is set up but they all work the same way. On the last one I did (2005 Ford Escape) my company car I took the sensor off and read the resistance. I put it in the refrigerator and read the resistance again. I installed a radio shack potetiometer in series and set it for the total resistance I got when it was in the fridge. It wakes the engine up and gives it crisp throttle response. The programers change shift points, tourqe converter lock-up and rev limits but cost you. A 160 degree thermostat works in the same way on the computer so if you do both you will see the same gains as the chip reprogramer.
