Hypertech vs Suprechips

[Induction Concepts]

No problem, my bad, I'm sure I just read too much into it, and a long, hot, day at the shop, probably didn't help matters. I'll be glad when fall is here.

Are you in Little Rock or Ft. Smith? If Ft. Smith, I would try to swing down there sometime, when my schedule lightens up a bit, to at least meet in person and I'd like to check out your shop. If its Little Rock, thats too far for a joy ride, I just don't have the spare time right now, unless I had a reason to be in the area.

Anyway, I read your post above, but I'm lost as to what you have decided on? I was asking which part last night because I was thinking maybe you had a microtuner or something similar. They are fine for small changes, tire sizes, shift firmness, rev limits, top-speed cut-off, etc., but for the stuff you guys are doing (much more in-depth than stock or bolt-ons), I would think you guys need some real, custom tunes, something that gives you access to the entire ECM. I know for Ford stuff, nothing is better than the SuperChips (SCT) stuff, but they haven't carried the GM and Mopar stuff as long. Also, I don't know that I'd try to get a 'tune' out of SuperChips. Their custom tuning division is called SCT, they would be more towards what you're looking for I believe. I'd look more in that direction, get whatever hardware you need to do your own thing and find someone who knows the GM ECM inside and out to do the tuning. I have burners, and their new data logger, which you'll want. They are pretty reasonably priced.

So one option would be to purchase the necessary hardware for whichever tuning method you prefer, from SCT, then find a good tuner to use that hardware. There are so many so-called 'tuners' that can't tune their way out of a wet paper bag. They might get it to run and have a close AFR at WOT, but drivability is out the window. I've actually seen posts on websites where guys make 80-90 pulls and still didn't have it right...80-90 pulls, good grief.

So be careful in your selection. Meet them at a dyno and turn them loose and watch them. If it takes them more than 3-5 pulls to get it tuned, move onto the next person. There are tuners out there that can tune ANY combo, sight unseen, and do it in 3-5 pulls, and make it right, but they are hard to find.
