Question experiences with superchips 3815?

anyone have it? some of the numbers (especially for the 5.9) are exceptional and almost sound too good to be true. what are your guys thoughts?

# Performance Tune:
# 5.7 Hemi Max 21.4 HP and 34.2 ft lbs torque
# 4.7 Max 21.9 HP and 19.4 ft lbs torque
# 5.9 Max 46.9 HP and 59.4 ft lbs torque
# 5.2 Max 18.7 HP and 30.2 ft lbs torque
# 3.9 Max 17.0 HP and 28.0 ft lbs torque
# Performance Tow: Improve tow ability

im thinking about taking a dive and getting one. the v6 could use a little more wit on the highway. is superchips one of the tuners that will burn up your pcm if used all the time? that's my question that's holding me back from it.

thats a little bit under 6 horses per cylinder for the 5.9, sounds reasonable.

i love mine i got the 3715 the only difference is the 3815 is update able if they come out with a different tune or something. the numbers are the same for both though and you can get the 3715's for around 200 used. i have read that the 5.9 guys aren't always that pleased with them but i forget which one they like better and no it wont burn up your pcm if you keep using it. i have mine on the performance setting and have to use 91 or higher but the power and supposedly the gas mileage will even things out. i have yet to get any decent readings on mpg because my truck hasn't left school since i started back in august i've only been on short trips none over an hour and i only fill up like every 2-3 weeks but i'm going home next weekend for thanksgiving break so i'll let you guys know my mpg on 91 or higher mode to see if it really does even out.
