DP-Tuner Question

Hey guys! Got my DP-Tuner installed today, took it for a quick ride and remebered I still had my Superchips program loaded on my truck.... Im guessing the DP just over-road the Superchips? I didnt know if I should un-load it or leave it or what...... Hopefully I didnt screw something up... Thanks for any info.

DP substitutes its parameters over the ones that are currently on the PCM. So in a short answer you are ok. in a long answer go ahead and take the DP off the PCM, and use your SC to return PCM to stock. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE DP TUNER BEFORE TRYING TO RETURN TO STOCK WITH THE DOWNLOADER. I am willing to bet that Jody puts overwrite protection on his chips, but, better safe than sorry.

Thats kinda what I thought Brandon, Thank you for the help!

So far this DP feels amazing ! I only took it for a short ride and tried some of my different settings, (before I realized I forgot to take the superchips off ) but the power difference and shifting is tons better than this Superchips.
