hey guys. i can get a Superchip and PW for 250 shipped? is this a good deal. both are used but in good condition and the tuner is unlocked. ive been debating on whether to get a sc or diablosport for sometime now. i know the diablo you can do alot of custom tuning with it and is good when you have a lot of engine mods. which i plan not to do. does the sc works well with the pw? thanks guys any help is appreciated. nick

when you add the powerwire you're going to want to run a higher octane than what the superchips is set to. if you don't it likely negates all the affects of the PW and might actually do more harm than good as far as power goes.

fill up next time at half tank with 87, then run 87 from then on. you'll retard timing at full throttle and high load (towing) situations and lose a little power in those conditions, but other than that she'll run fine.
of course if you're buying it for shift timing and that sorta stuff, then go for it!

yup, perfectly ok to run 87 octane with the 87 tune. if you are buying the tuner ONLY to be able to run 87, don't waste your money. just ween the truck off of 89 and onto 87, she'll run fine (mine does).

Also, to answer your initial question, the Powerwire and 3815 work really well together. I run on the 91 tune with 93 gas and the truck performs good.

As far as the diablo goes I have never used it so I have no first hand knowledge. All that I know about it is that people say the 93 tune is good while others have put their trucks on the dyno and found the diablo canned tunes to be equal to other tuner's canned tunes. I am sure that someone with the diablo will chime in.
