SUPERCHIPS Microtuner

I recently sold my gauges and was wondering if it would be safe to run a SCMT without gauges? Of course, I will remove the tune when I am towing. Please don't flame me, I am waiting on the new EDGE A2..........

I've not seen any problems towing a CGVW of 18,000 lb on tow safe. Once saw the temp spike up above 1230 deg as I was standing on it from a near stop, but just rolling along pulling the grades around So Cal it's typically 1050 to 1150 deg or so.

Unloaded, no problems even on HP tune.

Is the dyno able to apply load to duplicate street driving?

If so, do some inertia runs AND loaded runs.
It really shines under load =o)

Scmt Help Please Asap!

I installed my SCMT this morning and all went well. I drove it for about 50 miles turned it off and cranked it up 2-3 times. Now after its sat for a lil' bit, when I rev it up it acts like it hitting the revlimiter and blows a mix of white and black smoke. I can slowly roll into it and all is well.
