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 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..."

"I use my 2006 Nissan Xterra to tow a 24' travel trailer and while the Xterra performs superbly, it is always nice to have a bit more torque on tap. Superchips Cortex allowed me to "Re-tune" the Xterra's ECU to allow more low and midrange power for towing, power you definitly feel! The reason I purchased the Cortex over other brands was Superchips quality and the fact Superchips backs up their product with a 2 year powertrain warrenty for the vehicle being retuned!! Power/Ease of use/Quality/Warranty, Superchips has it all!!"

"Programmer was ordered on a Friday and recieved the following Monday, Installed in two minutes, tried out the performance setting and not so noticable power but i did notice my fuel gauge going down quick, switched to 87 octane setting and was better satisfied with this setting, as it saved fuel and added a SMALL amount of power, hopefully it can be updated online to more power, should have purchased a K&N or another performance mod before this. was expecting more. but overall was OK. 2008 Chevy Silverado CrewCab 5.3 engine"

"I wanted to get a little more towing power out of my Tahoe. I pull a 22 foot boat on the weekends, and needed some extra ummph. With a cold air intake, MAF, and Gibson cat back, I needed to remap the ECM. I choose the Cortex because of all the features. It really woke up the truck, and it's super easy to use. Just plug it in and follow the prompts. The only thing I don't like, is that the clock on the radio needs to be reset after installing the new map. But, I can live with that. Auot Anything has the best prices on the these devices. I highly recommend it."

"I own a 2008 Nissan Titan LE Crew Cab 2x4 dropped with 20's,Volant CAI and a Flowmaster CatBack exhaust. The truck was already quick, but the superchips tuner made it a killer. I have already surprised a 300c 5.7 and a 350Z by not only keeping up them, but smoking the Chrysler. I do not know who was more shocked the 300c driver or me. Anyone who owns a Titan has to buy one.

"Where else can you set you pick up to run of 91 oct. Well 93 most places don't have 91. But you create a lot more power that way. You're burning cleaner and more efficiently which is was truly allows the programmer to be such a boost. I don't recommend everyone trying this but on performance mode I can chirp my tires in 3rd, something that was not an option before this mod. I have K&N CAI, DT Header, SuperChip, and a custom exhaust with high flow cats. Im quite happy with the way the Superchip really compliment all other mods."
