superchips hard (Blue) chips
Superchips still shows the blue chips on thier MVP pricing guide. MVP is $233.81 unprogrammed, so a programmed module should still be in the $280-320 range. Most of you with older ECMs can still get a tune.

Understood, but Superchips made a blue chip and a gold chip. Im talkin chips that slide in the back of the PCM. The Gold Superchip is way better then the Blue one. And Dp-Tuner and TS chips also slide into the back of the PCM. No hand held tuners can compete with the Dp and TS chips for the 7.3's

It looks like TS is using the sniper down loader, but no dyno charts that I could easily find. Sniper's software is hard to beat even if they are using a custom formatted setup. However, a solid dyno tune is hard to beat.

The gold chip is not better, or worse, than the blue chip. The gold chip was used in diesels and v10s, and the blue chip on all other EEC-IV and ECC-V applications. The interface on the chips was identical, and the hardware as well. The only difference was an internal identifier which allowed Superchips to charge more to dealers and the end customer for diesel/v10 tuning.
Whether or not the tune is supplied on a chip, "loader" (that's a nice way of saying tuner with no features) or full-tuner doesn't matter. Its the tune that matters, not the delivery method. The chip or tuner is simply software media. For example, whether you buy and download Norton Utilities from the Internet or get it at your retail store you're getting the same software.

My info is exactly spot on. I've programmed and sold literally thousands of chips and tuners, Superchips brand included --- you're 100% wrong about the blue and gold chips. The gold is no better than the blue, just used for a different application.
