so what is your average MPG with the superchip? i'm looking into getting one, buti want something to help with gas mileage

 

I dont really know yet, i only filled up with 93, and put it on the performance setting yesterday, So ill update ya soon.

 

I'm on a average of about 15

 

how are your performance gains with the superchip ...i want to get one but kinda sceptikal about the gains.Can you notice a real diffrence between stock and performance setting????

 

I can definatly tell a difference, so can my buddies who i didnt tell i added the superchips, and once i floored it, imediatly asked what else i did.

 

well i def. have to get one i think after my rims thats my number one mods...are they difficult to program... any mapping needs to be done????

 

To stay C.A.R.B. legal Superchips legally swears under oath to CA government officials it does not change the 'part throttle' engine operation, so it is hard to understand how it would improve/decrease MPG...but the premium gasoline could have either higher or lower BTU per gallon.

Perhaps two (or more) 3rd Gen Ram owners could get together and do a 'convoy' style MPG trucks over the same roads and weather conditions to see if the Superchips affects MPG.

The Superchips settings lean the full throttle air to fuel ratio back to the 12.5 range, and increasing the full throttle ignition timing by about 5 degrees.

Most of the gains can be had much cheaper by installing slightly smaller fuel injectors than the factory 26 lb/hr 5.7 V8 units from other engines from a salvage yard (or changing the psi regulator in the fuel pump module in the tank ),
and increasing the spark gap and indexing the 16 sparkplugs.

 

I wish one company would stand up to California and make products for only the rest of the country.

At the very least, they could make a CA-spec and one for the rest of us. I'm sick and tired of one state dictating what everybody else should do because they think they know what's best for everybody.

The next time they unilaterally decide to have higher MPG standards for cars, automakers should say "We will no longer sell vehicles in California." We all know that's financially not possible but I'll bet the state couldn't hold that position 2 weeks before residents were mad enough to take action and have the legislation reversed.
