had them both. superchips better for performance and the hypertech max energy was better for mpg. i like the 3815 better. i was looking for performance, not mpg's. i also tried the jet chip,(still have it) it is similar to the hypertech in performance. sc is the best bang for the buck i have done, performance wise.

i know there are lots of threads out there about SC but just wanted a few opinions. I want to make a move on one of these in the next day or so. Found hypertech Max Energy 
for $200 and i can prob find SC on here for about $250. which one would better suit me
2002 5.9L gas 3.92 gears
-k&n drop in filter
- single exhaust ( cat - glass pack with 2.25" tip)
future mods
- synthic fluids
- e fan
- e cutout (looking to up exhaust to 2.5 or 3")
- Maybe CAI
-Possibly a small lift and 35" tires
-possibly diy powerwire
Side note. Went to drag strip last night best time 17.94 @ 76.2 mph
I knew the truck was going to be slow but dam i thought it was gonna be at least in the high 16's

Holt, glad to hear it made it. You might want to download the update software from www.superchips.com and plug her up to make sure it has all the latest files. It's been at least a couple months since I updated it but I don't know if any new files came out since.
Let me know how it goes. Hope you enjoy it.

Just plug it in and follow the on-screen directions.
Don't over tune for the octane level of fuel that you have in your tank.
It will run the best on the highest octane setting, but I would run the tank down close to E and refill with 91-93 octane before installing that tune.
