Anyone have experience with this unit? I used to use Hypertech power programmers on my trucks.

Anyone know if this will work with the A6 tranny? Is he diablo a better buy instead?

I have used hypertech on my trucks and my Z28, it is a good product. On my C6 however I decided to go with the predator , since it can also serve as a scanner, and has more programming flexability. IMO

hey guys, i put the superchip in today, it made a decent difference, they say you suppose to drive it like 100-200 miles to get the full effect. it eliminated that 1-4 skip shift, and the fan kicks on right away, does anybody know anything about adjusting the rev limiter??? or just leave it the way it is??

I've used their chip and then their power programmers on my last three Trans Ams. Good results, although no great power increase--better shift firmness and I like the fan adjustments. Quality outfit, so I wouldn't worry about them. Just preferred the Diablo this time.

I'd leave it at stock. Plenty of revs, and max hp is 6 grand anyway. Can you adjust timing, AFR, and fuel trims with it?

Go with the diablo, It can eliminate TM, and will give you a good bit of power.

DIABLO-GAINED 11.2 HP much to my surprise!
I think 17 might be a stretch all by itself,but if you add an exhaust and breather,then maybe.

i went w/ superchip b/c the guy told me diablo had some problems, and the sc is the top of the line. it goes hypertech,diablo,then sc. for these kind of programmers.sc is suppose to be number one in the world. to me i bet their all pretty close give or take. but, not that i have put about 50 miles on the car,the car is unbelievable out of the hole its very noticeable. i highly suggest it to everyone for $470.00. well worth it. the exhaust is a bit louder too.(i have no idea why)
