You are correct sir. :

 

PWR_SHIFT

Does superchips have a separate program for "completely stock" and also one for, lets say, "CAI and catback"?

Devils3023

Nope, just the one "performance tune" for our cars that's it.

Hey Devils3023. Got a close set up to yours, AEM Brute Force intake (installed a few weeks ago) Flowmaster super 44's. In the market for a programmer but I have no clue. Reading this thread is encouraging. So what exactly do you do when you plug the programmer in? Is it easy to do?

hey 6.0 I sold him the unit and it is very simple to use.... You turn all accessories off. Plug it into your port under the dash. It will tell you to turn ignition to on position.(without turning engine on). There you will go to read vehicle. Once it reads your vehicle, you can go into custom tune where you can just adjust the rev and speed limiter. Once that is done you go to performance tune and hit yes.... It will automatically de-tune the factory settings and tune the performance settings.... It tells you what its doing as it tunes... Trans, engine etc.... Takes not even five minutes....

I just ordered one for my Sierra which should come in today.

Where have you found the best deal on one? Also, what's the difference in say the Diablo and this one? Sorry to ask so many questions, I'm pretty much a nubie to the car performance world.

The diablo can be used while your goat is on a dyno. It has more custom options than the superchips. The superchips does have custom options as well but not as many. They both are updatedable via internet with usb cable that comes free with superchips unlike diablo. They both also have data loggin capabilites as well.

I chose Superchips due to what I have read on differnt forums and reviews of diablo website and so on. I have heard of guys having problems with customer service with Diablo and engine light issues.

I found superchips programmer at autoanything.com. The superchips for my truck was $379.00 free next day shipping. It was the cheapest I have found. They also have the cortex programmer where if you sell your gto, you could use the programmer on any other GM vehicle. Something to think about as well, but that goes for $499.

Dont worry about the questions...that is why they make these forums...

Yup, setup is exactly how NJ said. Takes just a few mins and your all set. Can def feel a difference in the car especially when you stomp on it. If your in the market for one I might be selling mine since I'm looking to get a set of kooks headers installed and therefore would need a full dyno tune so I wouldn't need the superchips anymore.

6.0goat

I'm in the market..let me know when you get ready. My email is keith@keithinvestigations.com Davy Keith. Thanks.

NJSierra

Wow, my ole goat parts/accessories will be scattered all over the country!
