Unhappy Have superchip Looking for more power

I have a 2000 F150 4.2L V6 3.55 gears Manual Tranny.

I bought the truck new and installed a superchip a year later. After a while I started loosing the power that the chip gave me. Is the Diablo Delta ALL THAT OR WHAT?

By the way I'm new and any mod suggestions are welcome.

MODS I HAVE:
Flow master dual exhaust
Superchip!!!!!!(not happy anymore with it)

Yes, the Diablo blows the superchip out of the water. I have one, and I can VERY easily tell the difference in power. Good luck!

OBTW ::: www.motorhaven.com <--the chip is there $230 shipped to your door.

No, the LED is just a light. It does nothing but light up when you switch the chip in different positions. Waste of money IMO.

It's not a kill switch. The toggle allows you to run multiple tunes, or to turn your chip off in case you can't find any 93 octane gas around or for when you bring your truck into the dealer for a code read.

Actually Tom, they do have a kill switch. One where you need to have the key for the chip in the on position to start up your truck.

The LED and switch are 2 totally seperate things.

LED = lights up in different colors depending on what setting you are on

SWITCH = switches from off, on, and future mod setting

And where did the kill switch thing come from?

"Well Goolllllyyyyy Gubber!!!" That's a new one for me. Not a very good antitheft though, seeing you can just reach under the dash and pop out the chip in 2 seconds.

But it's still pretty cool. Shows you how Diablo goes the extra mile to stay ahead of the competition!!!

does your truck run fine without the chip????? Are you sure it's the chip??? how bout plugs and wires, that's usually the most common mistake everyone makes on this site. When your vehicle is not running right, that's the very first thing you check.

Can superchips reflash your chip for a small fee or maybe for free?

Did you ever take your truck into the dealer after you've put the chip in. Sometimes they may reflash your computer with an updated code, which will cause the chip to not work properly anymore.
