DP-TUNER, using superchip to read codes??

Guys, can I still use my superchip tuner to read codes on my truck with the DP-TUNER installed? I was going to sell it, but if I can get some use out of it I will keep it. Thanks

Yes, you can still read codes. Your chip won't interfere.

ok, if i was just going to get a dp tuner with the 80 econo tune would it be that much better than the superchips tune? The only reason im asking this is because i am currently using superchip and like what i hear about the dp tuner. I have a 03, 6 spd. guages, 4" turbo back and 6637

There was a lot of difference in my superchip hi performance tune and my 80 on dp. The truck pulls throughout the shifting. I got close to 19 # boost with superchip. I can get close to 30 # with dp-tuner. Seat of the pants is WOW. I would say scrap the superchip and get a dp_tuner, but remember you should get a BTS-VB, or something else. will also need OVERBOOST ANNIHILATOR, to get more boost. Also exhaust, intake, ect, No end really lol. Have fun with it.

I to would like to get the dp tuner sometime but am somewhat happy with the supership I have. On tow/perf mode I get well past 19psi of boost, I CAN get 25/28 psi when hard on it. No leaks, not much surge or anything. Differance in tucks, I donn't know but its not that bad of a tuner, not as good as DP tuner but not bad, better then stock....

Your right the superchip is a lot better than stock. I have been running it for 4 years I think. But the difference is very noticeable. Hope you will have a chance to know what I mean.

The 5" sounds sweet, would suggest it to anyone. Trying to tell a buddy of mine to get one but he wants the 4" with a muffler . All I need yet it to get a 6" tip to finish it off.
