Performance programer

I purchased a Superchips flashpaq and programed the performance download and what a difference it feel like another 50 horses. I have an auto and the shifts are crisper.Thottle reponse is the best thing i can burn rubber at a standing start. I learning to take it easier or i going to end up with a ticket.

So these tunes basically alter shift points and modify or remove the throttle delay. Was this a canned tune from SC's?

Just be aware a log has been created in your car's computer that an update has been made. One each for the power programmer and one for the switch back to stock. They'll be able to look it up in their system and see that it wasn't a dealer that did it.

I have a 09 hhr SS , 5-speed .... I am looking for a power programer, like the superchips cortex thing... how come the HAHN one is almost 1,000.00 ? and it has 5 less hp? I suppose that I would end up replacing axels and a clutch ? GM doesnt exactly build parts stronger than they need to be , anymore... example ... Brembo 6 piston calipers, on stock rotors? wtf ? I have 17k on the clock, and my rotors look like they have 60k ... never raced, or anything . I bet if I did take it to the track, I would warp those suckers

Trifecta Tuning is still giving the most HP for less.... Trust me.

I trust you Tom but what I paid for my Custom tune was even cheaper..... I paid $0.00 for mine... But in the real world i would have to concur with you.....I was the guinea pig for my tuner
