supraman Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 The Superchip tuner is all its cracked up to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSMANIAC Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 the superchips tuner does a great job with the shift points...stock when gunning it there is a huge delay and when the tranny shifts there is a consideradle jump as well...after install...from a dead stop to full thorttle...it really smooths the process out...and the shifts you are hardly feel....torque management is okay...overall i wish i hadn't lost as much on the bottom end...but the gains that it makes on the top are wonderful...when passing someone who is going 60..all that is needed in a slight throttle adjustment...any more than that and i get catapulted about 10 car lengths beyond where i was intending... How hard is to install a superchip? is it like the hypertech power programmer? Just plug in and play? also how much would a superchip will go for? Also could I get a part # for it.

SSminneapolis Posted October 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 plug 'n' play...simple as that...really very easy to work with...as far as cost...i think that they are $400 or something like that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico750sxi Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 Superchips is $339 at azspeed.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawk Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 I am still waiting for Hypertech to bring out there version in January, the amount of time they have had for R&D I would think they may be the best bet for performance. Really the only reason I am waiting is because a friend of mine gave me his programmer and I’ll get it recalibrated when Hypertech releases the new version…save $$… BTW, i have yet to hear a bad thing about superchips..

slimsoftball Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Any of you guys in Texas, specifically the San Antonio area. I talked to a guy named Alan at Nelson Performance. Nelson Performance He does performance tunes using LS-1 edit. I am going to take mine to him but he also will do it through the mail. He will program a PCM, send it to you and then you send him yours. Or you can send him yours and he will send it back. He is going to charge me $415 which isn't anything special but will reprogram it any time I add a mod or want to change something for free. Really great guy who seems to know alot about our truck. He is actually doing a Radix/Cam install on one right now. He is going to post the process and results on his site when he is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawk Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 slimsoftball: He charges $415 to reprogram the PCM, isn’t that the same thing that Westers does? But nelson uses LS1 edit, which is the better program to use, that I have heard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimsoftball Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Yep. I mean you could spend $500 and get LS-1 edit for yourself, but I am not neccessarily that motivated. Especially since he will change it for free after that. The only benefit of me taking it to him is he gets to have it there and drive it. makes it easier to tune.

blackhawk Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Sounds like I need to learn LS1 edit, create a web page and charge $350 a tune! ... Seriously though that’s a good deal, the program is very in-depth and I don’t have enough hair to cover the leaning curve… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Yeah, but the unlimited version of LS1edit, will come in around $1500, and I think there's more that you need. You could make it up quickly though. Isn't Wester using LS1edit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlimited PCM's $5000 Ouch! that's a supercharger!!!!!!!!!! There is one other slight problem as far as me getting LS-1 edit. I don't have a laptop. So I would have to factor in that cost also. That 3 hour drive to San Antonio once in awhile for free tweaks looks more appealing all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
