Superchips Micro-Tuner ??

from your website..

"How easy is a Power Stroke Micro Tuner to install??
Tuning with the Micro Tuner for the Power Stroke diesel is very simple. Plug the Micro Tuner into the vehicle's ALDL diagnostic port (under the edge of the dash bottom). Select the program you would like to use, then select any available user options. It then reprogams your vehicle in just a few minutes.
Back to top "

Same thing I have read in 5 different places now.. but it does not answer the question : what are the available user options for personal programming??

thanks,
brett

60 HP, 80 HP and stock. It does not allow fan changes, gear ratios, custom shift points, etc.

Superchips Micro-Tuner ??

So its a 2 position flip switch ( 60 & 80 hp) thats packaged in a large box with a cable for a simple attachment? Is there a reason to choose this over a flip-switch?
Or am I just not getting something?
:-X11

I truely love the idea of the cheaper price (340$$) and the install time of 1 minute ( or one beer LoL) and able to remove it and convert to the orginal programming if I need to take it in for warranty work

thanks for answering my questions thus far

No, its not a flip device. Its a tuner, not a chip. Plug it into the diag port (ie, no need to remove or even touch the computer box), it puts choices on its screen, you make your selection, you wait 2 minutes for it to reprogram your computer and then you unplug it and put it away. Another advantage is a flip diesel chip costs nearly $700.
