IMO the six gun is too expensive and where is their support here........
Heck they will not even call a person back, after two mesages left, and two emails sent.
Not good customer service

JUST IMO

Intuitively obvious about leaving banks off the table, but why the SC over the Predator ????

The fact that NO Dyno graphs have come out to support their claim of 150HP or the shifting questions on the other threads?

Really, I know it's just a preference, but what was your thought process ?

May be something we can all use :-)

The shifting question seems to be only a very few and very independent.
Some like it firm and a few do not.

well the numbers seem to be higher and i figure there has to be a reason for it. I've been reading that the superchip makes a nice power curve and is pretty good for daily driving. A couple people said they liked it a lot. and i have a 6speed standard so i dont' care about the shifting program. Oh and superchip has been around longer. I called motorhaven and just asked them which one i should get, and they just gave me pros and cons of both and i decieded to go ahead and get teh superchip cause its the one i've wanted.

tim,

I see you also have found banks to be nothing more than useless. such a good product sorry sales force, I posted my problems long ago with them, so I have had to cut them off my list.

It seems there corporate strategy is to sell to those that will pay a premium to optimize their profit and not worry about the mass market ....

'pay my price or I don;t fool with you... ESPECIALLY after the sale "
