Default Re: Radix installed.....WOW.

Nice job John!!

You should like the Superchips. HPTUNERS.com a private company that sells tuning software for laptops and tuning shops was after SEMA 2005 by MSD to provide the tunes for Superchips Racing. MSD likes it so well they cut a contract for HPTUNERS.com to provide tune for Superchips programer. Superchips programmer is so much better than the one that came with the supercharger kits it is not funny. HPTUNERS.com gave te programmer alot more variability.

Go to HPTUNERS.com site and you may be able to get more info on Superchips.

I'm partial to HPTUNERS.com as they are major sponsor for my show H2. The thing is though i had researched the tuning software that was out there to do my own tunes. I went to them to buy several thousand dollars of stuff to get setup as well as look at pro shop tuning kit price.

The head programmer happen to answer the phone so i asked questions and just basics on what i was doing but, the rig was a show rig also with Magnuson as sponsor as well as many many others.

The guy was to call me back with answers I had on the tuning seeing if they could incorporate a few things specila without allot of increase in cost. What i wanted ended up being something they had planned to add anyway so it was a non issue. The next call i got was one of the 3 owners the one mostly in charge but, the youngest of 3 with oldest being around 27 years old. They are a great group of guys and the ramrod called and asked if i had a tuning sponsor of which i did not. He said what would it take for us to be that sponsor so we worked it out.

I mention these things so that when i say you can run a Superchip programmer with confidence i really mean it. I have had exstensive conversation with 2 of the guys and they are really concerned about putting out a product of quality. Yet as one said to me some of the other tuners wanted more restriction and it was HPTUNERS.com right to go with them or pass if the other companies were going to restrict what HP could do to help the customer within safe limits. So HP kept passing on major national deals that would have set them for life until MSD came along and told them we want the most competitive programmer You can deliver the software for and HP got on board then it led to tuning Superchips racing and MSD passing on their work to HP that MSD had patents on for Ford and Dodge. HP has been righting tunes for GM products only.

I cannot say that every programer will be perfect but, I know MSD let HpTUNERS.com stretch the tuners limits a little more than had been before. Now of course Superchips customers may set peramiters asking HP to leave a % of HP and torque on the table but, all pragrammers do that because of liability issues if you blow up Your ride. To get the full potential take rig to a local shop tuner or by the software and learn to tune. It is not very hard really at all. Just read the material over and over as well as go to the HP forum that has most questions answered and it is always almost monitored by one of the 3 owners which is really amazing considering how little time they have. They are really dedicated to their product and customer being happy.

Well so much for my little commercial but, wanted to let you know why I could speak with confidence in the tuning in Superchips programmers when before the Hp tune went in them You could not have given me one of them. The best out before just in my opinion was the Power Programer. I forget the exact name as it was done by a local tuning shop in my area but, comp cams bought it out and changed the name to Flash Pack or something like that. Before my SC I ran their first H2 programer for 2005 H2 as no one had realized yet that the program in 2005 from factory was different from 03/04 H2. I let them scan my ride and they got programmers out about 3 months before the rest. Like to help home town boys beat the pack if i can. These guys sponsor also as i got one of the first production billet coil pack cover kits they came out with. They slip me alot of stuff in advance as sponsor but so i can run it a month or so. That is on more than the H2 as i have other GM rides.

Well once again i write a novel but, it is 5:30 am central and mind is just rolling along. Sorry all!!!
