Superchips performance chip secured with tape?

The mechanical attachment for the Superchips performance chip is the electrical connection and a piece of tape. Since this is the most expensive of all the performance chips I would think that they could at least come up with a bracket to mount the chip securely instead of recommending a piece of tape.

Kind of disappointed, Danny, since I like to use my 4 wheel drive and have been know to rough up a vehicle a little. I guess I'll be leaving my kick panel off from now on.

Beth: I am really sorry that nonwe of the chip manufacturers supply a clip with their chips. Our chip has a 6 month satisfaction guarantee. If you are unsatisfied for any reason whatsoever, we will gladly refund your money. I must say that we have yet to have a chip come out of an ecu from 4 wheeling. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your buying experience pleasurable.
Thanks
Danny

You are correct, Hyper?? sends a metal bracket to hold down the ECU, not the chip. We don't remove the bracket for the ecu. On a 93 F150, the ecu is located behind the kick panel and mounted with the port up. I would venture to say that if you hit a bump hard enough to knock the chip out of a 93 F150, computers would be the least of your worries, dentures most likely would be high on your to do list.
Thanks
Danny

Danny,

I fully intend to order one of the superchips, when I get some funds together.

But as far as the others are concerned, I really don't like the idea of a plug in module that goes between the wiring harness & computer (too many chances for water to get in) Plus there is some extra heat in my engine compartment due to the headers.




1988 F-150, SWB, 5.0 EFI (formerly 4.9 EFI), M5OD 5 speed, 3.08 gears, Summit shorty truck headers, Custom built Flowmaster exhaust system. Force 4 LP6000 lightbar, Federal signal PA-300 100 watt siren, Icom IC-V100 50 watt mobile radio.
=======================================
1965 F-100 (just purchased 1/18/01), SWB, 390, C-6 auto. Dual exhaust, Not much else to do to it.

Can see both below.
