Question Superchips Programmer

My superchips Programmer comes in tomorrow got it for 200.00 off ebay brand new. I was wondering if any of you guys have it and how you like it? And what MPG increases have you got with it? I know that most of you have the TW chip but i went with the programmer just because it was cheaper and Im goin to college in the fall and am tryin save some money.
-------------thanks, jeremy

I've had one on my '95 for about a year. I noticed the most mpg difference on performance tow level, but don't expect a huge increase. It really makes a difference in top end power, kinda like turning up the injector pump on a 6.9. If your truck doesn't have an intercooler, invest in a pyrometer kit, trust me it's worth it.

I love it. The diesel guys around here like them too. I picked up a couple of mpgs, BUT you have to....have to keep your foot out of the go pedal if you want to see any results. Be sure and open up your exhaust if you put in the hi-po setting. Otherwise you'll cook your engine! Yes I agree get a pyrometer.

Its OK. I noticed a +1 change in MPG. At the track (yeah I raced it) it picked up nearly a second on the highest setting compared to stock.

I would expect that is a pyrometer gauge to show your exhaust gas temperature. Most people put the pyro probe before the turbo.

Ive had one on my truck for about a year now. Its ok i guess, I just leave it on the 1st level. but the rest of these guys have me droolin over a 4 or 6 position adjustable chip. 14psd is right, the only way your gonna see an increase in mpg is keepin your foot light
