I felt that the simple tow tune, had about the same impact as my 72mm throttle body, but the shift points are much better which you wont need.

I do not know anyone who has a manual that went with superchips, most went with SCT through Hemifire or what ever his name was. Might want to see if someone with a manual has installed superchips

 

Cheeseburger has a manual....had sc, returned it then bought another because he missed the power gains....maybe he will elaborate.

 

whats the deal about vehicle inspections? I believe i read somewhere that your truck can fail inspection if there is a tuner program on it. this true? if so cant you just put it back to regular factory settings.

 

Well, last year I had failed inspection due to an airbag issue and dealer PCM reflash. I reinstalled a tune with the SC 3865 and failed inspection apparently due to 2 sensors (Cat & O2) in a 'Not Ready' state. I'm not sure how much that I drove the truck after reinstalling the tune before initially going to the inspection station. I removed the tune and put it back to stock to remove the tune as a possible cause of a second inspection failure. (No inspection fees, but didn't want to keep going back.) Then I drove the truck enough (at least 150 miles) to get the sensors in a 'Ready' state. Going though inspection with a tuned vehicle should not cause an inspection failure, as long as the sensors were checked by the PCM and passed the conditions required to put the sensors in a 'Ready' state.

But then again, I also failed with my car due to the same 2 sensors being in a 'Not Ready' state. It was tuned with a SCT X3 tuner, but I'm not sure when I had previously tuned it or disconnected the battery, which also resets the sensors to a 'Not Ready' state. I had driven it with the tune for a few hundred miles, and failed two more times due to the same reason. I removed the tune and returned the car to stock, drove the car for a couple hundred miles and passed on the fourth time.

Bottom line, the vehicle should pass if you've been running the tune for a while. But with my recent experiences, I think I might return them both to stock and drive a few hundred miles before returning to inspection in 2014. You can't simply return you vehicle to stock though, you have to put the vehicle through its required driving cycle (150+ miles city & highway driving) to allow the PCM to test all systems and sensors and confirm that all are working properly. If anything does not pass the test, a CEL light will let you know.

 

I've been through 3 emissions inspections with my tune installed. Never had a problem. But my truck's just awesome like that

 

Anyone try using a Hypertech tuber? I think I have a chance to score a free one from a buddy that's a rep.

 

Ok well, I have it on the truck finally. Running the 87 octane on it. What is the best one to run, the one that will provide the most fun? And maybe not have to run expensive gasoline .

 

I liked the tow tune the best. I ran it with 87 octane gas with no problems.

 

is the 93 octane worth trying at all?

 

I used it once. tow is better, imo.
