So all in all is the Superchip worth the money for what you get?

So is it pretty easy to program the truck? Been reading Super Chip website, and seems like it is but wanted to ask.

Truck was set back to stock using tuner. Truck was flashed by dealer. Then I used my Superchips again. Basically, Superchips re-reads the stock file and updates the save with the new TSB.

yes it is very easy. plug it in, it may say that your vehicle isnt configured or needing files or something like that. what that does is copies your truck info, plug it back in to your computer and it will send your file to Superchips. they will send you an email when it is ready and then just plug it back in to update again, then go plug it in your truck and follow the instructions. the wait for getting the email back form Superchips is usually the next day.

There are two levels. If you don't want to mess with advance options, just choose "quick tune" and choose your tune (ex: 91 tune). It will then tune your truck with predetermined settings from Superchips.

If you decide to advance tune, you'll have access to fine tune your Rev, Speed, WOT shifts 1-2, 2-3 and disable MDS.

Easy process and the tuner basically walks you through it.

That is a pretty good price. Where did you get it from?

I ordered mine last night from Cabelas. Was $350 but I had a $40 rebate and a $25 gift card.

Horsepower per dollar, it's incredibly cheap bang for the buck.
Excellent product.

All you guys buying your parts online, why not support your local speed shop?

I bought mine at J&M Speed Center here in Riverside. $359, had it in stock.
Bought it 2 weeks ago, plugged it in and got the updates, plugged it in to the truck and set it to the 91 octane tune, made an incredible difference in the driveability of the truck.

Truck scoots pretty good, but what I enjoyed more that the peak HP gain was the difference in the way the truck shifts. Gets right to the meat of the powerband and shifts positively.
Pretty cool getting 2nd gear chirp in a 6000lb 4wd truck with stock intake and exhaust!

I found this thread while looking for info on intake and exhaust upgrades to enhance the performance gains from my programmer without turning my nice quiet truck into some noisy, droning piece of crap.
Any suggestions?

Thanks
CA Stu
