I have a 2010 SS. I am considering a performance chip. Anyone out there tried one yet and/or make any recommendations?

Save your money or spend it on these

I'm not 100% sure about the SS, but that I am aware of, these cars cant use "chips". Instead you get your engine control computer custom tuned (programmed) for performance. I understand there are several choices for the SS. Check the ss performance section for info on that. I think they run about 500+ and will technically void your warranty, so keep that in mind if that is important to you.

PS, welcome to the site!

Don't bother with a chip.
Most of the hand held tuners are about the same with their generic preset tunes. A custom tune will get ya abit power and will be able to adjust other parameters.
That being said, I'd talk to Ted @ Jannetty Racing. I belive he uses SCT with tunes via email that he can send to you with the mods you have or are planning to have.

What the heck is a "Chip"? Did we go back a couple of decades?

Some of you on here are the biggest dick heads I have ever run across.The guy has 3 post and a simple cars are no longer chipped they are custom tuned would have sufficed.To belittle someone because they dont know is childish and disrespectful.

just finished talking with the guys from Dynomax who came to a show where I work and they told me that the 2010 camaro ss Matte black that they have was chipped, tuned added a cold air intake and full exhaust change which gave them significant rwhp increase.

I have had a hard time understanding all this tuning also. I guess they make handheld for beginners and the more advanced go to a shop for a dyno and tune special for your mods you have on your car.
