Superchips Programmers Gains

[StuntMan]

Looking to find what about what gains can be had with a Superchips Programmer. Like Torque and HP. I cannot seem to find any information about the details of the gains.

They should be able to tell u...we have them but no one has dyno for numbers

Canned tune...best best is to buy HP Tuners or something similar, you get a much better end result with a bit more work.

who can do a HP tune on a 2nd gen Expedition? it is hard to find tuners that have that program in certain areas. I mean down here in south Texas there is a shit ton of tuners but mostly all are GM vehicle tuners which are bad azz there is a limited Ford truck SUV vehicle tuners well that I know about. any help here?

Unless you've already added some other performance mods you're won't see much/if any gains with just a tune. On our Mustangs I won't even think about adding a tune until I've done the exhaust, and changed gears.

I recommend 5 Star!
I have been working with Mike for a couple weeks now getting the tune nailed down on my manual tranny swap. I am sure my situation is a little more complicated than most, but we damn near got it on the third revision.

If you have a basic cookie cutter vehicle like a 5.4l F-150/Expy with stock components, a custom tune will rock right out of the box.

You won't see huge gains by any means. Maybe a few HP and a couple of MPG's. But the biggest gain will be the fine tuning of the slush box shift points.

I just got my Superchips Cortex. Haven't heard anything bad about it so I bought one from Superchips Programmer|4WO. I'm hoping that it will help improve the mpg of my rig. Will post a short review next time.

Completely disagree, especially on auto trans vehicles. While I haven't tuned my Navi yet I have experience SCT tunes on other Fords. Typically a few tenths in the quarter, over a half a second in a otherwise stock Crown Vic Police Interceptor. Yes better gains can be had the more engine mods/high stall convertor/gears but still worth the $400 IMHO.

On auto trans vehicles worth it for the improvement in shift schedules alone

cortex will increase mpg's...i use it for that reason...i have exhaust and intake and hwy mpg is between 22-24...depending on gas and how hard i push on the road...i also have 26 inch rims...
