And then remove that Superchips programmer and get a B&G flash. : )
If you plan to do those other mods (TB, M1, cam), then do those first. Once you have done everything you want to do, then get the flash. It is an awesome mod. Forget about the programmer unless you really want it to read codes and adjust tire sizes. For performance the flash is hands down the best way to go.
