seems to be a lot of Canadians on this forum. Not bashing just speculating.
Also how do you fellas get your truck pic and description under your every post?

u hear anything about this? I would kinda be curious as to how it works, because I already have an android phone...and I have bullydog, but without those special options anymore im considering selling it and going superchips...but the vivid has caught my eye

Scroll up you'll see "User CP" click it then you on the left hand side you'll see "edit signature" click there and that's where you add it!

Nate this is the only info I could really find on it. I've read about it briefly but can't find the article I read awhile back. I don't even know anyone who has used this set up before.

I want to be able to move the torque to the beginning like around 1700 when it kicks in so this thing will take off and also have some left later on. Just want even power throughout is that possible with a tuner?

Not to steal the tread, but I am in the same boat right now, looking for a tuner. I have a few questions. I am looking at either the Superchips Flashpaq or Cortex, as they are both on sale, with free shipping, even to Canada. Plus a $50 MIR. Does this seem like a trustworthy site? They do use PayPal, so some protection there. Here are the links.

Superchips Cotex 3950

Superchips Flashpaq 3865

What is the difference? What do I get for my $40 extra? Do they offer the same tunes? IE. 87, 89, 91 93 etc? Or does the Flashpaq only offer say, 87 & 89?

Again, sorry not trying to steal the thread, I just didn't want to start a new one about tuners, right above this one.

Thanks!

If you get the trans tune with the cortex you lose the 2 yr warranty. Just get the flashpaq and save that $4 0 for the trans tune
