Expert Answers about Chevrolet Performance Chip


  • What Can a Performance Chip do for my 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L
  • Performance chips are designed to improve horsepower and torque and allow you to monitor different engine parameters and gain the maximum engine efficiency.

If fuel economy is important to you, I recommend looking at the Edge Evolution CTS2 Programmer, # EP85450. This programmer comes with the Mileage...

  • The Edge Evolution CTS3, part # EP99YR is indeed compatible with your 2013 Ram with the 5.7 Hemi engine, but be aware that it is NOT CARB approved, so it should not be installed on a vehicle registered in California.

An engine that is running more efficiently will provide modest increases in fuel economy (typically 1 to 1-1/2 mpg) IF the vehicle is driven conservatively. The # EP99YR offers the Mileage Coach program...
