HI i have a 1996 psd with a Superchips max microtuner .
I have been told the best way is to get more black smoke is to get a custom ''hot burn chip''

I was wanting to know is there any place that will reprogram my superchips for a hot burn siting or should i get rid of it and get a different chip.

 

Best bet would be Tony wildman or DP tuner. how to contact them i dont know though... good luck!

 

I love my TW. It was well worth the money and he is very informational to talk to.

 

Here is Jody and Diane's DP-TUNER site. Dp Tuner. Have heard good things about TW also.

Best to call them and talk to Jody, he will set you up.

 

ditto on what they said. Seems like once people go with the DP or TW they never go back to those other chips.

 

I'd talk to them and ask if they'd do a custom tune on your superchips tuner. worth a try, and probably wouldnt cost near as much.

 

You can't reburn any superchips programer. First you'll never find someone to try it, and next if you do, it will ruin it.

Superchips are a great starter tuner. It let's you know that there is alot of potential in your motor. But as far as adjustability and taylored to you truck, they are no good.

You said you want black smoke. Well, yes a custom chip like DP-Tuner or Tony Wildman will get you a little more than a superchip. But not alot. You are limited by what you fuel injectors can flow which is about 90cc's. Most programers will max that out no problem, even a superchip. The most horsepower you'll get out of any programer is about 80hp. Which is good, but it won't hold you for long.

And there are several variables, which will make some more power which envolve timing etc. But all will net about the same.

Black Smoke only comes from over fueling. Which means injectors. Bigger injectors, bigger smoke.

I know that's probably not what you want to hear, but those are the facts. But I bet you will love a DP or TW chip. They are custom to your truck and will get the most for you. And you can tell either that you just want smoke and they will get the most for you as they can. Good luck man and let us know what you decide.

 

thanks guys i probably stay with the superchips for a little bet longer
until i get bigger injectors

 

bigger injectors-concider fuel costs. thats whats keepin me from it

 

Just as an FYI and I'm sure you know this already but...
Black Smoke = Wasted Fuel
Wasted Fuel = less fuel turned into mechanical energy
So if your thinking black smoke = power, it's more like wasted power.
You need more air to burn more fuel = A Turbo that can flow more CFM's and PSI
Turbo + Injectors = and still a substantial amount of black smoke, but at least more will be converted into POWER!!!

Well put Robb. If your blowing smoke you are creating an inefficient burn and wasting the fuel.

 

Screw it!!!! ROLL THE COAL!!!!!! My name ain't Gale Banks. And until it is, I'll be blown rediculous amouts of smoke, paying way too much for fuel, living pay check to pay check and grinning from ear to ear cuz I just smoked out the latest sucker!!!!

I work way too damn hard at both my jobs to not enjoy life some. The way I look at it...

It's all gonna kill you,
It always costs too much,
Nobody is ever gonna agree,
And you can't make everyone happy.

Men are laying their lives on the line RIGHT NOW so that I have the right to blow smoke, and chase the dream of hitting it big some day. If I clam up and stop enjoying life because some jackass said it was wrong, I'm letting those men down. And that my friends is something that I'm NOT willing to do.

To the original poster, do what you want to make you happy. We'll be here to tell you the cause and effects of it.

To my other guys, you are correct as always. And I'm not getting down on you. It's just been one of those days, forgive me.

 

CAN I GET AN AMEN IN HOUSE????


AMEN!!!!!

 

Cody... Was this post directed towards what i said???? Sorry, engineer here just telling it like it is. I think rolling coal is awesome!!! HOWEVER, until someone proves otherwise, technically it is WASTED POWER. I'm not saying that there's a way to make the engine 100% efficiently (which is impossible anyways, converted to heat, friction etc..) Heck I don't even think we can get 50% thermal efficiency out of one with current technology. Still that black smoke you see is just $$$ going up in smoke. If you can afford it, ROLL IT!!!! It wasn't my intention to **** off the Duck!!!!...... Buy you a beer???

Aaaaaaamen !!!
