No chip, it must be done by an edit program. K&N don't do squat plus you
will need to keep the sensor wires in the inlet clean from the oil in the
filter. Save your money and replace the paper element more often. Go with
long tube headers, high flow cats, "X" pipe, and cat back exhaust. Now you
got it breathing you can and should do something with the LS1 edit.

Good luck,

Get a hypertech programmer if you have a 93 or newer Corvette.
Midamerica has them as well as the chips for older Corvettes.
