"I felt the increase in power. I'm running performance 87. My enginge is running lean. I have increased MPG. I have not had a chance to really get on the freeway and run it yet, but I think that it will perform excellent. I had a super on my 06 4.7 dakota and the performance were superb. I have faith in superchip."

"Easily installed. Instant results, Tightened up shift pattern, more power and responce.. Haven't noticed any better fuel mileage as yet. Probally because I drive it like my 2004 Vette on occasion. Also cold weather warm-ups will cost mileage. I still can't over that the factory would release my vehicle with out this improvement to begin with.. Overall I am very satifyed thanks"

"I originally had a Hypertech Power Programmer 3, but after gaining 0 hp and 0 mpg, it was a waste of money. The only thing it allowed me to do was change tire sizes, raise the top speed limiter to 128, and raise the rev limiter 500 rpm more. The Superchips Cortex Programmer on the other hand actually works. You can feel a difference and it gives you better options. You can raise the rev limiter to 6300 rpm, top speed limiter to 140 mph, adjust the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts at wide open throttle (factory shift points are at 5800 rpm this allows you to change it to 6100 rpm for 1-2 shift and 6000 rmp for 2-3 shift), and change the speedometer for different tire sizes. The biggest thing I notice is how much firmer it shifts, and my low and mid range power has increased. I also bout a Corsa Sport exhaust system with Y pipe and a AEM bruteforce cold air intake. It really wakes up my 5.7 making it even easier to turn over the tires. I haven't had a chance yet to notice any fuel mileage gains, due to the fact that I've been rodding my truck around because I enjoy the loud exhaust note from the sport exhaust. I would highly recommend anyone with a 5.7 hemi to buy this programmer, I think it's well worth the money."

"The Cortex 3950 has improved the shift points in the tow mode and made towing My fifthwheel a lot smoother. I first tuned to the performance mode, what a differance in power. Installing the programs took about 15 min. I like the idea of being able to download the latest update for my tunner anytime. Works great."

"I had to connect a small battery charger to my truck in order to get the programmer to work. The truck has a new Optima battery fully charged. After calling in with a code, they told me my truck had low voltage. So, we try again. This time I am instructed by the programmer to update my device at flaspaq.com with update 1zh31a. This did no good. After calling in again, I am told that the device should not have sent me to flashpaq. Now I have to download the superchips software and install it again. They sent me out to my truck to go over everything again (I must have done something wrong the first time). We get the same message about flaspaq and the file. I am now told to give them my VIN and a week to write some more code for my truck. It works now after waiting and updating again. The instruction manual is very sparse about what to do and how to recover from errors. On the good side, the truck acts like it LIKES me to push the pedal down now. No more sluggish passing. It sure would be nice if Superchips had a simulator online for the programmer to practice with. Everytime you want to change something or just check out what the device will do, you are waiting for it to gather data and clear memory. Here in Mississippi it is HOT just sitting in the truck with the door closed and no breeze at all while you are looking at a screen moving like a snail. Greg"

"The Superchips Cortex programmer easily installs the single program they offer for the V6 Ranger. This one program adds power and improves throttle response while leaving you with a very streetable tune. The downside is you pay a lot of money for one 87 octane canned program that can not be customized. The Superchips Tech department verifed this for me on two seperate occasions. Their program does not and can not recognize any additional modifications you make to your engine like headers, cold air intake, or throttle bodies yet for some unexplained reason Superchips asks you to list the modifcations you've made and any you plan to make later. If you buy Superchips go with their cheaper programmer and not the Cortex."

"The Cortex is much more of a palm programmer than the older Flashpaq, faster too. The settings are predominantly the same as a Flashpaq. The difference once the programming is installed is quickly evident, feels like the turbo woke up now when you floor the pedal, plus the shifts are much crisper when you get on it."

"I have a 2005 GMC Sierra Z71 5.3L. This programmer has been a great investment. The only issue I had with it was the fact that I had the pull the Radio, Radio Amp and Info fuses under the hood to get the programmer to work. Superchips tech support was very responsive and helped me find the solution within a few emails. They responded back within hours of asking a question during normal business hours. This has really increased my horsepower and I think it has helped my fuel mileage if I could keep my foot out of the gas. Overall a great product except for having to pull 3 fuses everytime I want to reprogram, but that's not that inconveinent."

"I debated over a year on whether to go with a programming chip. After a lot of research and discussing the pros and cons with people who had chips, I decided to go with Superchips. I was happy with the performance from day one. My diesel mileage went up 4 miles to the gallon. I had traded my 2005 diesel in for a 2006 diesel mega cab and had been unhappy with the 2006 performance. I considered a lot of different things to do to the 2006 to make it perform like my 2005. Superchips delivered. I love my 2006 now. I needed the extra room in the cab and also the power of my 2005. The 2006 is now my dream truck. I have tons of room inside and the power and towing capacity I need. My 3 year old granddaughter always tells me to bring my big white truck to pick her up. She says it is her favorite. Now it is Grandma's favorite too. Thanks Superchips."
