V10 Superchip users needed...HELP!!

hey guys..
i just got a flashpaq from superchips. i installed last night and this morning on the way to work had a terrible miss, my gas mileage on the computer dropped over 3mpg and the truck ran terrible. they sent me #1815 and that is the one they list on their website too. i set it to 87 octane and left all the superchip options. could it be a bad programmer? im calling them tomorrow am, but i wanted to see if anyone has an easy fix or idea or similar results. i traded in a max tuner from another vehicle and they gave me a good deal on the new one. thanks in advance for the help.

A little troubleshooting would be a better decision.

You probably have another problem not accossiated witht he tuner. Most likey a COP is grounding out or has failed. Is your CEL on? Did you try going back to stock tune? There are so many variables that could be the culprit.

BTW: I wouldn't trade my Diablo tuner for any SCT.
