I just ordered one today. They say it is 50 state CA EPA compliant. On their economy setting, they say it will increase hp by 80hp and torque by 200 tq. That would put our 2012 stock PSD at 480 hp and 1,000 tq. which is close to the power settings of a 2020 6.7 PSD. Fuel mileage said to increase by 1 to 4 mpg.
Anyone have one of these?

 

I have no experience with anything on the 6.7 for Superchips, but I did used to have a Superchip tuner for my 7.3 at one time. The tunes were decent, and I was happy with them. I then spent more time on here, and realized the potential of "custom" tuning from DP Tuner. That decision was a great one, as my truck ran a LOT better with custom tunes. I did keep my Superchips tuner, because it was great at pulling codes, and clearing them.

I must say, yours is the first Superchip tuner I have heard of for the 6.7. Good luck, please follow up with us on here on your results! Most people are never heard from again haha.

 

I will let you guys know when I get it installed. horsepower and torque numbers aver very close to 2020 PSD's. per Superchips claims.

 

2020 power without the 2020 improvements to withstand the added power....

 

You might be right, but are you positive that improvements were made on the 2020 to increase reliability for the added power. Superchips is confident that their program will not damage the power train, therefore they give a two year power train warranty if their program damages the power train.

The horsepower and torque is so close, on the economy tune, Ford might have used a similar tune for the 2020 to get their numbers.

Ford 2020 475 hp 1,005 torque

Superchips 2012 480 hp 1,000 torque

I will install a EGT monitor to keep tabs on it.

Two other benefits are, adjusting the speed limiter and adjusting for gear or tire changes, plus the ability to change shift points if needed. Their tuner is 50 States legal.
Increased fuel economy is always a good thing. Extra torque will be welcome pulling our fifth wheel up Colorado grades.

 

You should get a digital monitor to monitor the parameters you want to, like all 4 EGT sensors. Or you can run a smart device with an app like Torque Pro to monitor the PIDS. Good luck with it. Let us know what you think and experience with it.

 

Fixed that for you...

I've run deleted/tuned trucks for a long time. It sure is possible to get better mileage out of a deleted truck, but it sure is hard to control your right foot to make it actually happen. Not saying some don't have the discipline to make it happen, just it's rare. I usually only saw a 1-2 MPG improvement on the highway. I did a little experiment with emissions in place tuning with an H&S minimaxx on my 2011 6.7. Power was improved, mileage didn't improve AT ALL. You get more power by adding fuel and air. A diesel is basically a two stroke engine, not a space shuttle. It's just not that complicated. You need to be more efficient to save fuel and having all of the emissions in place makes that near impossible. Anyone can claim anything. Knowing that I'm a tuner friendly guy, take this for what's it's worth. Given that more fuel and air are added to the engine to make more power, do you think that is easier or harder on the stock emissions components? Do you think the life expectancy of these parts will lengthen or shorten? I can tell you the answer for me was most CERTAINLY shorten the lifespan and that is why they were removed from my 2011. No way I'd recommend emissions in place tuning. You want to tune it, I'd encourage you to do it right and put that truck on a diet.

I'd encourage you to go to a reputable custom tuner that you can call and talk to. That's an expensive 2 stroke that you don't want to risk some canned tunes with from a company putting out it's first tuner for it a decade after it came out. That being said, your truck, your rules. Have fun with it!

 

My truck is used for pulling our 5th wheel and going on some long distance trips, empty. Stock our truck very seldom sees full throttle. Passing vehicles on two lane roads "empty" is about the only time it sees full throttle and that is for short distances and short time intervals. If I get a yen for speed, I use our 1,017 hp Ford Falcon not our pickup.
As I said, I will use the economy tune, not the high horsepower tune.
400 stock horsepower is normally enough to pull our 5h wheel without any problems. I think most of you, like I do, when pulling a trailer, stay behind what ever vehicle you are following until there is a passing lane. Empty, that is a different story.
You all have valid points, and I will let everyone know how this tuner works for me. It supposed to arrive today.

 

Very common sense answer. The same delete tuners are now putting out emissions legal tuning because that's the way the future is going. While I understand that smaller tuners and shops will continue to do delete installs and tuning, the future is improvements in emission component technology and emission legal tuning. The EPA is planning on this enforcement that started last year for 3 years. Time will tell whether the smaller shops will stay in business or be closed. I'm not against deletes but when someone does it to a well running stock truck, JMO that if you do it to do it, it's goofy but again, not my money, my truck nor my call.

I believe the days of all the coal rollers combined with social media made all diesel truck owners look bad and diesel trucks hated. I'm not judging just stating the facts and what the future is. Good luck with your tuner. Keep us posted.

 

the smart choice will be to tow in stock power only. Especially if you tow heavy. And yes, you need to see the vitals constantly.

 

I have a smog test coming up soon, and found out from Superchips that the pickup's computer needs a couple of weeks to learn the new tune, so it is recommended to wait until after the smog check to install the tune. So the new tune will go in after the smog test.
It has been a while since I have accelerated hard in the pickup and I did a quick test, and stock the power will surprise you. Not quite like our low 9 second Falcon, but it is surprisingly quick.

 

Didn't Andy Kaufman from Gas Monkey Garage (now on his own), build a Falcon?
And nice car, BTW.

 

I have heard of Andy, but never watched any of his shows.
I am so old, I still watch Andy Griffith re-runs. I have seen every show about 20 times.
Here is our engine on the dyno which is normally aspirated. We have a 250 shot of nitrous to get it to 1,017 hp.











Thanks

 

Thanks for the pics. Sounds like a healthy mill alright.

I answered my own question.

So Superchip's engineers are able to get 80 more HP out of the engine while being emissions compliant than Ford's engineers? That doesn't add up in my mind.
