it was suppose to go on my dads corvette but it doesnt fit on his and it fits on mine . Anyway, Do I need to put the thermostat in right away or can I wait on it a little bit? I just wanna put the chip in asap.

Re: so I got a performace chip...

If the chip is made for a corvette, I dont see how you expect it to help your car? You mentioned no info about the chip..... is it a custom burn? or just some hypertech chip or w.e?

And a thermostat is like 10$, so dig in the couch and check under the car seats, go buy one and a gasket. Easy install.

Look it up, the chip barely does anything. Should have got EBL.

But itll be fine to put it in without the stat, but like I said just go get a 180 degree, its cheap.
