Expert Reply:

Performance chips are designed to improve horsepower and torque and allow you to monitor different engine parameters and gain the maximum engine efficiency. They were not designed to specifically improve fuel economy, but improved engine performance can result in improved fuel economy as long as you keep an eye on aggressive driving habits.

If fuel economy is important to you, I recommend looking at the Edge Evolution CTS2 Programmer, # EP85450. This programmer comes with the Mileage Coach program that shows your engine performance and fuel economy. This program will show how your driving habits affect your fuel economy and it gives you tips on how to improve your gas mileage.

With the 5.3L V8, you could see horsepower gains of up to 20 HP and 20 ft-lbs of torque with this monitor.

This performance module is not legal for sale or use on pollution-controlled vehicles in the state of California.
