Description

Whip your engine into shape with the latest and greatest programmer offering from the experts at Superchips: the Superchips Cortex Programmer.

Like the generations of programming excellence before it, Superchips' Cortex Programmer plugs right in to your car's in-cab diagnostic port and feeds pure power into your engine's computer-based brain. The Cortex also reads and clears diagnostic codes, plus it's packed with a load of other adjustment features.

Looking for advanced capability? That's where the Superchips Cortex outsmarts the competition. It logs performance times and speeds. It saves data on your best runs for bragging rights. And, you can always get the most advanced tunes thanks to online USB updating capability.

What's even better, your Superchips Cortex Programmer comes with a standard 1-year warranty, plus something no other programmer has: a 2-year powertrain warranty for extra protection. So, why wait? Start tuning like a pro with the Cortex now!

Notes

  • Flex Fuel Vehicles: fueling with E85 is not recommended in conjunction with your Superchips unit. Burning E85 reduces efficiency and power compared to using gas, which reduces the power you'll get from your Superchips.
  • In California for diesel vehicles, Superchips Cortex is only legal for racing and off-road vehicles and may not be used on the highway.

"I recently purchased a Superchips Cortex programmer for my Chevy Silverado. I programmed in the performance setting and really noticed a difference all around. I'm running Bfg mudders 285/75/17 and the truck was feeling a bit sluggish on the low end with the stock settings. The Cortex took care of that and the truck pulls very nicely off the line and maintains acceleration throughout the powerband. I have not noticed any change in fuel economy, mainly because I have been on the gas more taking advantage of the new power settings!"

"updating was a snap so was doing my first tune.you can feel a mild difference with the 87 octane tune. big difference on the 91 tune way more responsive throttle. Have not tried the 93 tune or the xs gas saver tune,waiting for a long dive next week to reno to really see the millage gain.sure it will be great. has alot more features than i thought i was getting like all the data logging and readouts.cool that it auto powers down when truck is turned off, I wish it came with some way to mount it on the dash though but im sure some Velcro or suction cup to window will do fine."

Buy it and forget about he Stage kit Chevy will never release and if they do...it'll be overpriced compared to this."

"I love the CORTEX I installed it in my 07 TAHOE I currently have dual MAGNAFLOW and the K&N cold air and AIR RAID throtle body spacer and still felt I needed some more. My wife and I noticed the difference like right now, I did hear some ringing from the engine but went away after a couple of days. The only down fall is that all of my PC's @ home are APPLE and I am unavailable to update the programer. I have e-mailed SUPERCHIPS and have yet to hear from them. I still recommend the CORTEX to any one. I just order one more for my wife's 03 DENALI."

"First the cortex is easy to install program. I installed the fuel saver program and have gotten around 4 to 5 MPG more on the road. As far as power, plenty of that, at first I didn't think it was up but believe me it was there. I also tow a 14,000 LB 5th wheel I went from 10.5 to 15 mpg in tow mode. Not bad. I'm happy with the Cortex but think there could be a few more programs to chose from."

"The programming took a little longer than I thought it would. After saving the stock setting it was easy. I tuned the motor for 91 Octane, downloaded the performance tune and the performance shift and that was it. Throttle responce is incredible and when I punched it to the floor I really got put back in my seat. Kicked it into passing gear and acceleration is just awesome. After I did the programming I also installed a cold ait intake which made it just that much sweeter. My Hemi was hot before but now it's breathing fire. Yahoo..."
