Just bought 07 Tahoe LT. Was looking around web and saw some performance chips that 50-60 hp boost and better fuel economy. Do any of these work and if so which ones are good. Not going to completely upgrade engine but if there are some reasonably priced chips that work would do.

Ask them for a real dyno sheet. I notice how they reference a Stage 2 chip on that one, as well as the dyno curves not being realistic curves.

Here is a 2003 Tahoe dyno graph for reference:

I have a diablosport chip and that gives me alot of power. Not sure about the HP but when I drive the ones at the dealership they can touch the power that mine produces. I can also reinstall the factory settimg when I take it to GM for some work too. Plus I have an air intake system.
