Superchips

      The World Best Selling Tuners

The Superchips family of performance tuners is our best selling line. And with so many different options, Superchips has a tuner for every budget. Based in Sanford Florida, Superchips was one of the first companies to produce optimized tuning options for late model computer controlled vehicles.

So why do we at VehicleProgrammers.com like the Superchips product line so much? Actually, there are several reasons.

Quality:

Superchips is one of the most dependable brands we sell. Super chips uses rear-wheel dyno testing to develop and validate all of their horse power and torque gains. Some companies will use "flywheel" dyno results, which tests the engine only, and fail to take into account the rest of the vehicle. Power delivered to the tires is what matters. Superchips also spends a lot of time tuning the automatic transmission shift characteristics. This doesn't show up on a dyno chart, but you will feel the difference. We also noticed that these transmission adjustments help Superchips products to provide some of the most impressive mileage increases of any of the tuners on the market today.

Sanity

Yes, you read it right. We like the Superchips line because their tuning is sane. Superchips does a variety of testing to ensure that you'll get maximum horse power and torque gains without breaking engine or transmission parts. For instance, most diesel owners know how important it is to keep exhaust gas temperatures (EGT's) as low as possible. Diesel engines can be damaged if exhaust temperatures are allowed to riser for any length of time. It's a lot easier to get big power gains if you don't worry about EGT's. Superchips creates tunes that increase Hp and Torque, without allowing the EGT's to rise as a result. The tuning provided by the Superchips line of products is designed to increase the life of your vehicle, not shorten it.

Flexibility

The Superchips line of products are designed to grow with you. First, all of the Superchips tuners are designed to work with the most popular performance parts including cold-air intake and free flowing exhaust systems, as well as many aftermarket throttle bodies.

Options

Superchips offers products for every need and every budget. All Superchips tuners are internet updateable, and many can be upgraded to the next level tuner via the internet (for a fee) at a later date.

Mileage XS: Built for mileage gains, the Superchips Mileage XS has one available tune that was specifically designed to increase the MPG of your vehicle. Unlike most other mileage tuners on the market today, the Mileage XS also includes many other options such as transmission adjustments, as well as gear and tire size calibration just to name a few. Want to get more tuning options, including performance and tow tunes? Then look below at the Superchips Flashpaq.

Flashpaq: Simply put, the Superchips Flashpaq is our best selling tuner. Offering at least three tuning levels for both gas and diesel vehicles including Performance, Towing and Mileage XS tunes, the Superchips Flashpaq has the options that most of our customers are looking for. Besides the three available tunes, the Superchips Flashpaq has a full list of features to optimize your vehicles performance including transmission optimization, tire and gear calibration, and more. Want even more features out of your tuner, like data acquisition? Look below at the Superchips Cortex.

Cortex: The Cortex is currently Superchips' top of the line tuner. The Superchips Cortex has all of the features of the Flashpaq, but also includes data acquisition. The Superchips Cortex also features a single part number for every line of vehicles. For instance, buy a Cortex for your Ford diesel truck, and it can be transferred to your Ford Mustang any time you want (but it will only work on one at a time).

Vivid: Scheduled for release in 2011, the Superchips VIVID will introduce a whole new level of hand held tuners. Using Bluetooth technology and built on an Android Operating System, the Superchips VIVID does much more than just tune. Unlike previous Superchips tuners, the Superchips VIVID is designed to remain in view of the driver and will offer real time gauges, Inclinometer / G-Force Meter, Maintenance Minder, HD Audio and Video, Gaming, and more. The Superchips VIVID is also GPS and Back Up Camera capable.

Vigilante: Scheduled for release in 2011, the Superchips created the Vigilante tuner for Harley Davidson motorcycles. With over 27 years of tuning experience, the Superchips Vigilante will unlock the performance potential in your bike.

Internet updateable

All Superchips tuners are internet updateable. We cannot stress enough how important it is that your new tuner is updateable . Since Superchips offers free updates over the internet, you will always have the latest tune for your vehicle. Superchips even offers a discount if you decide to upgrade to the next level programmer at a later date.

Customer Service

The biggest reason that we at VehicleProgrammers.com recommend the Superchips line of tuners is because of it's reputation of quality products. We promote the Superchips brand because we don't want you to need customer service. But as with any piece of electronics equipment, things can happen.

IMPROVING YOUR MILEAGE sounds impossible at times for some but there are simple steps that have resulted in actual mileage gains. Those steps include checking your air filter regularly for optimum flow, making sure tires are at the manufacturers recommended pressure, keeping your trunk empty to reduce weight, avoiding wide open throttle starts from a stop, breaking early as you come to a stop, and using the “Mileage XS” program provided in every Superchips Mileage XS, Superchips Flashpaq, Superchips Cortex, and Superchips Vivid programmer.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND FUEL ECONOMY

Being the pioneer of the tuning industry with 28+ years of experience in the field, Superchips Programmers provides customers with the best solutions for their needs from fuel economy to racing. With increasing fuel costs continuing to rise with no sign of a ceiling in sight, Superchips has the solution to improve mileage in your gasoline and Diesel vehicles with their Mileage XS SAVE tuning.

The way they provide gains with their products, be it mileage or performance, is by extensive dynamometer and road testing, all the while making sure that there are no reductions in overall drivability and longevity of the vehicles power train in the process.

HOW SUPERCHIPS PRODUCTS WORK TO IMPROVE FUEL ECONOMY

Here is a brief overview on how Superchips products improve fuel economy, and unsolicited testimonials from a few actual customers who use their products.

Optimal Engine Timing

With Superchips advanced timing of fuel delivery in the Mileage XS program, you get a more complete burn. A more complete burn is equivalent to getting more power out of your fuel. This is the first way Superchips products serve to increase fuel economy by getting more power out of the fuel you already use and provides the biggest gains.

Improved Horsepower and Torque

When towing or driving up a steep grade, the increased horsepower offered by the Superchips Flashpaq, Superchips Cortex, or Superchips Vivid tuners provides your truck with more power in a higher gear. Running in a higher gear consumes less fuel because you downshift less, which lowers your RPMs. This is why we consider Superchips products to offer the best of both worlds, increased horsepower and improved fuel economy. And, as an added benefit, less downshifting not only means improved fuel economy; it can help to prolong the life of your transmission.

Improved Atomization (burn efficiency) of Fuel

Atomization is the process by which a bulk liquid is turned into a spray. Superchips products improve the atomization of your fuel. We achieve this by increasing fuel pressure, which creates a finer mist. The increased fuel pressure achieved by Superchips performance electronics improves your fuel’s burn efficiency, thereby improving fuel economy by (once again) getting more out of the fuel you use.

FUEL SAVINGS TABLE

The following table was developed specifically to demonstrate how much money you can save depending on fuel price and the number of miles you drive per year. This table assumes a very conservative gain of only 7%, and a fuel cost of $4 a gallon or less. Real savings may be significantly greater.
