superchip worth it?
Is a superchip worth putting on a 2002 firehawk?

It might help a litle but don't expect any big seat-of-the-pants gains.

Re: superchip worth it?
that is what I kind of figured. I have a friend with a G8 gt (6 liter) he has put a loudmouth axle back exhaust and a superchip, he way he makes it sound like it gave him a big gain. He claims he thinks he is going to be able to run low, very low 13 in the quarter. I just have a hard time believing his car wich is a heavier 4 door car is going to run a quicker time than my hawk, or even quicker than my wifes 2010 ss camaro.

Your best bet is one of the computer software dyno tunes.

So where would be the best place to get a program for my laptop and how much green are we talking about?

You can hit up a speed shop and have them do it or buy http://www.efilive.com/ or http://www.hptuners.com/ or http://www.carputing.com/
I do not know how much these are though.

Re: superchip worth it?
I had looked into the computer tuners a while back also. There is alot of interesting reading on ls1tech on the different ones out there and who likes what. I dynoed my hawk and then after the headers and a few other things I went with http://www.tunedbyfrost.com/ I was going to just make the drive to Richmond Va, since it was about 1 hr away. But just did the mail order way. He is also a ls1tech sponsor. There are many threads on him about his work. The mechanic that originally did my tune, also has Frost come to his shop and tune cars. I am very pleased with everything he did for me for just $99
Re: superchip worth it?
That is not bad at all. I have a friend that has EFI live but he has to buy credits wich will come out to be $100. I also live about 15 miles from Willys carb. in ILL. They are really good but I need to call and see how much, I have heard he is costly, but on the other hand I would know what the car makes at the tires and you do get what you pay for.
