Default SuperChips Tuning

Has anyone used the superchips tuner on their vette. I'm thinking about it. I used it on my Hummer H3 and it really made a DIFFERENCE..

No. Do a tune. They're typically 500 dollars.

Its a device you order that plugs into diagnostic outlet under dash. You can then set it to tune your car for added HP and better Gas Mileage.
Check it out on the internet....

I have looked around and while it may be a littel expensive Chuck Cow Tuning can do a tune for you all by mail, its the way i am going when I get the bucks. Check out the vendor's on this forum several do mail order tuning.

I would not screw around with those cheap hand held tuners. If you really want the car to run well and pick up some extra HP, get a professional tune done. It will cost you between 400-500 bucks, but you get what you pay for.

FLP in Naperville IL , Dan Bills really knows his stuff and will take time to tune your car properly.

Just an FYI, not sure if you have warranty left on your car, but once you tune the car kiss the warranty good bye if you have any problems.

good luck

I appreciate the call you gave me and I am getting my funding together as I believe this is the best option for a tune that I can find.
One question's if I had access to a device like a HP Tuner could I use that to install your tune or do I have to have the Auto Cal?
Also if I send you the computer (instead of purchasing the auto cal) for the install how long does that normally take?
If for some reason I don't like the tune how would I go about returning every think to the prior state, mail you back the computer? Or I suppose I could do it with the Auto Cal correct?
Thanks again.

I would rather you bought EFI LIVE from me or at the least, the AutoCal.

Either way, it's simple to go back to stock and make changes to the car

any time you need.
