Is there anything bad about the superchip? Will it end up hurting my motor pulling more power out of it? also, can I just unplug it when I don't need the power? Is there an 89 octane setting so I don't have to run premium? if so will it still give me a good amount of noticeable HP? Can I clear out the computer so there is no trace of the chip as well so it won't void my warranty? Thanks for any info I just have a few questions before I drop $485 on something I don't know alot about.

 

If you're using the Superchips Flashpaq, it doesn't stay plugged in, it just reprograms your ECU.
If you get the above, then you have a high octane mode or a low octane mode. Fuel mileage is generally
best in low octane mode, but running mid-grade fuel. Not sure how it works with your ECU, ask Superchips
about that or have your dealer install it. As well, the chip does not see exponential power increases such as
turbo setup or supercharger would, so it really won't harm your motor any more then stock. It just adjusts
timing, spark and fuel mixture basically.

 

I have never heard any negative things about the Flashpaq, I am getting ready to buy one for my Ram. Has anyone seen any good deals for the Flashpaq lately from any of the DF sponors?

 

I havent but I know they are normally $550 and I saw them for $485 on hemitruckclub.com

 

To add to that.....

The tuner has to be reset to the stock settings prior to taking the vehicle in for maintenance work or warranty work. When you bring your truck to a dealership for work like this they flash your ECU to give you updates and other programing they think your truck needs which will overide any other programing you have done. After they do this the Flashpaq wont be able to reload the programing back into the truck and will lock you out, so you have to send the chip back, get it updated/reconfigured (costs extra) and then reinstall.

Also since you can set rev limits and shift points so if you set them to high there is a possibility of severly hurting your engine which wont be covered under your warranty because of the tuner. So becarefull if you do any of your own tweeking with it.

Other than that its a great thing to have on your vehicle.

 

I'm looking into purchasing one of these soon , They usaully run from $400-$500 but I have found them as low as $360. Gotta shop around.

 

I dont plan on doing any of my own tweeking with it, also i think it will reconfigure its self with the internet update feature on the new ones so you wont have to send it in.

 

Try this guy for your superchips flashpaq. I get all my royal purple, and my gears from him. 3rd strike link

I think his page has the superchips flashpaq for 350

 

Not if the dealership locks up the programing though. You have to send it back to them and have them give the programer the codes to overide the factory settings. Yes you can get updates for the flashpaq online but not for this situation. And normally it'll cost you to have them fix it.
