I got a shock today. I talked to superchips as I have been a Hypertech fan and have run one for almost 6 years and love it. The programmer they sent with supercharger would not let Me do anything but, download the tune. I asked them what do I need to do to get it to let Me change tire size, shift firmness, etc. like I have always done with Hypertech. Tranny with their tuning will not last the rest of the summer with it taking forever to get into another gear. Thus I highly recommend the 2-4 servo if Your going to run on superchips tuning on supercharger from Magnuson. Their response "We don't offer a tuner with functions like those. It just loads the tuning only." IN a responce by email from a technical service guy.
i have emailed for a clarification as to if they meant tuner for SC only or in general. We have had a few conversations with them on support as We did not like what We were getting in the download on My H2 and they were less than cordial maybe a bad day. They did talk to Us like We were dummies. Guys Our shop may be many things but, We are not dummies as My head mechanic can build a custom turbo out of a couple different ones if nothing on the shelf will do what We want, it was We were asking questions that they had no answers for, to hard of a question or had not been trained with the correct answers. They actually told us on one occasion that We had blew the PCM up. Not the case and We knew. I still believe a flaw in programmer because when I pulled it out the issue was not there all thogh it did not run real good with boost on stock tuning, it just made comfortable We knew what We were talking about. I can call Hypertech or Comp Cams on their tuners and they will spend all the time You want without trying to run you off on to the next guy.
Oh on a side note that fits here My guy was the first in our area to build from scratch a twin turbo setup for one of these old little bitsey Mustang 2 when the turbo's would not fit under hood He went through fender well and built a box to house a turbo on each side of engine that kept it out of the elements as well as get cooler air and kept all that heat away from engine bay. We do special things if You cannot find someone. WE built a bag system for a 2005 Colorado so he could do a body drop and set it on the frame and one did not exsist that We could find anywhere. Well there is a kit know and We are looking to see if We can make it work on H3 just like the turbo We are designing for Colorado.
I do know there is a company that is going very hard to get the Magnuson tuning account when superchips contract runs out because of this kind of stuff plus I have seen the program of this other company and would run it when it comes out but, I will be running tuning from My sponsor on wideband. At last I will be able to tell My electric fans when I want them to turn at what temp. and off.
Just My experience and it may have been totally a perculiar situation to Me. So I do not want to judge them I'll just run differrent tuning because what i'm getting from sponsor is way better than almost any out there right now. They are coming out with a new platform in 5 months that will put everyone light years behind them. they are on the edge of the envelope and safe about it. When allowed i will tell You about but, until then There is only one rig running it right now. I get to have the first of everything long before it comes out so i will be able to always tell You guys how I like it before it hits the street.
Well take it for what it is worth nothing in it for Me just sharing My experience which is what We all do on this forum.
Hopefully You can pull enough nuggets out of many and make a good decision.
TAZ
