Default Power Chip

I have a 1997 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.7L, and I'm trying to find a way to eliminate the 100mph limiter and gain economy at highway speeds. Right now I'm interested in a hypertech max power chip. Does anyone have any experience with this product or any similar ones?

the only thing I don't like about the idea of getting my ecm tuned is that I lose the ability to toggle between economy and performance whenever I feel like it

For your 350, I think a free-flowing exhaust, intake and TB spacer would make a difference in power.
Mabye even some headers.
