![]() Despite the likelihood of "one-size-fits-all", "generic" tunes, It is cheaper than a tire size adjustment tool and throttle response module combined. I'm pretty impressed with the device and it's claims. ![]() But for long term drivability, I'd say you might be better off with getting a SCT device and go to a custom tuner like Unleased or 5 Star.Īnyway, I like the features. If they offered the ability to run third party custom tunes, then I'd say go for it. One thing to keep in mind many people on here have already reported issues with fuel dilution in the crankcase, so running a unoptimized tune like this one could certainly exacerbate it if your engine happens to suffer from it as well. This can lead to significantly decreased mileage/gallon, increased carbon buildup, and possible damage to the catalytic converter if set to aggressively. The generic tunes tend to run almost excessively rich to avoid having to make adjustments to the spark timing. So running it while yes would increase power it likely does so by sacrificing efficiency. Probably not a bad idea to contact their support to clarify this.Īnd looking at the Superchips unit, it appears that these tunes are going to be generic boost/fuel remaps and unlike a custom tune are not linked to the vehicle PCM strategy. 3) doesn't want to pay 6-700 dollars for the stage kit plus install for the same power the 300 superchips tune produces.Typically what they mean by updates are to the unit itself and not to the tuning files. superchips is a good option for someone who 1) doesn't have a laptop and doesn't want to have to wait for the GT tuner to arrive in the mail before they can flash it back to stock.2) has no real lnf tuner within 3-400 miles. they would have sold a ton of them if it had made 300 whp and 340 wtq.Īgreed. I just think the Cortex is a good little tool that could have been great if Superchips would have went a little more aggressive with the tune and opened up a few more options. I let a diesel guy borrow the tune and kept the cortex in my car as a gauge to monitor my AFR, IAT, Timing and LT fuel trims on my trifecta tune. so there are good deals out there on them. I only paid 150 for the 2nd cortex i bought. It can actually data log a 1 minute snapshot then be hooked to your pc and look at the log of the run. I have it stuck between my tach and speedo. keep it plugged in and you can watch 4 pid's at once. It's can be basically used just like a dashhawk after you flash the tune on. sold one to a friend cause I didn't think i would miss the gauge cluster that is programed into it. especially if you can find a used one for 2-250. then a superchips flashpaq or cortex is a great option. and don't have a laptop for a datalogged Trifecta tune. and don't have many option's for a custom tune from a RESPECTED LNF tuner. So if you want something that you can flash on and off the car within 5 minutes. Another plus was the superchips tune pass the CVN i check i did on it when i flashed it back to stock and hooked up my dealers tech2 ( good friend was the service manager and knew what i was doing the whole time). without the install issues some have had. The problem was the superchips tune more than impressed me and looking at quarter mile times. then install the stage kit when it was released and recoup some of my money selling the tuner. At that time i wanted something i could flash back to stock. GM was a whole summer away from the stage kit being released. When i bought my Superchips Cortex used for 250 bucks. 3) doesn't want to pay 6-700 dollars for the stage kit plus install for the same power the 300 superchips tune produces. Ya if you have a tuner near you or work with someone via data logging and email you could get a better roi from hpt or trifecta.Agreed.
