I ran my truck down the track knowing my speedo was dead nuts accurate and i had it in 4wd so i know it was not going to spin and all three runs it was exactly .05 slow. I ran a 14.31 according to the track, sc said 14.36 next run, 14.36 superchips said 14.41

Nobody should be too geeked one way or the other about a non-track 1/4 mile run time with no real point of reference.
I'm not saying anyone's doing that, but you know how this stuff goes down. Next thing you know we'll be reading about how it's a fact that the SC takes .6 tenths off your 1/4 mile time, and if it doesn't guys will get pissed. I'll be interested to see 2 trucks with the same setup run in the same conditions, one stock and one tuned. The handheld times alone don't do much for me.

I hear ya! My 1/4 mile (14.8) time was at an actual track.

I know they can be accurate, they just always aren't. I've seen other guys say they varied from dead nuts to being off by a second and a half. I'm not trying to downplay what seem to be pretty decent gains, but I'm not gonna get too excited until I see before/after track times. I'd be beyond thrilled with 3 tenths in my r/t.

Hey all just thought I'd post my first impressions of my Superchips tuner.
MDS:OFF
1-2 WOT 5950
2-3 WOT 5850
Redline: 6100
High Speed Fan 215 degress
Speed limiter 135mph
Correction to 4.10 Gears
I just loaded the 09 tune for my truck and all i can say is "wholly cow" The tune is Dyno`d for 41hp and 38 lbps/tq with the 91 and 93 oct tune. i used the 91 and you can really feel the difference. I went to Arcadia on a 2 lane road and was passing cars like a mad man. The power it delivers at 65+ mph feels like i was in my Daytona Charger again. Hard to believe the truck weighs 1500 bls more. Will post more as i drive it more.

I'm really interested. I'd been close to buying a Diablo until everyone seemed to start having all kinds of problems with them. It's good to see Superchips is coming out with one that addresses everything I'm interested in. Too bad I spent my Diablo money on 4.10 gears and an LSD. Guess I'll have to wait a few months now.
