saw this not sure if it's a repost...it says it'll work on any model. Anyone used it or know anything about it?

 

Superchips doesn't show it on their website.

 

That website is a joke. Go search Google for autopartswarehouse.com reviews/problems, you will see many people who get scammed by them. They list **** that doesn't exist all the time.

 

If it seems too good to be true...

 

well i'm not sure if it works or not...would be nice if it did..... but I found only good reviews of that website...

 

I do not recommend getting a chip gocanucksgo.

Put that money toward other mods like an intake and exhaust.

 

well...why is it too good to be true?? it's 400 bucks...they wouldn't be the first to figure it out.... maybe contact them.

 

it's not a chip like you're thinking. it's more like a standalone unit, and some of the 2.2 guys have been excited about this, though i don't think anyone has actually tried it out yet.

 

*shrugs*

Your car, do what you want.

I'll stick with bolt ons and a good tune, myself.

 

but...supposedly this is for the tune part.... lol

 

It's not a standalone, it's just a programmer.

but like someone else said, I think the site is false.

 

a good tune huh.....what exactly do you think this is???

maybe its time for some one to read?

however, if its not on SCT's website then i'm not believing ****.

 

someone contact superchips..

edit---- emailed them.. i will let you know

http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/se...rolet%20Cobalt

check these out as well...

 

Its A Trap!!!

There is no Programmer from Superchips for the Cobalt... especially one that works for ALL models.

 

I would doubt it was well, however a message has been sent, if they're even a half decent company they'll answer soon to confirm our suspicion either way.

 

a handheld "programmer" might work for the 2.2 and 2.4... but I can't see it working for the 2.0.

I looked up the part number that the website has listed... that is a superchips tuner for GM Cars... Cars with LS series engines... LS-1... LS-2... not Cobalts.

http://superchips.com/products.php?s...it_button.y=17

 

I searched the part number and got nothing.... wonder what the difference is?? also, why the 2.2 and 2.4 but not the 2.0?

 

There are too many variables with the 2.0... with the boost and what-not programming is very tricky... and a "canned" tune will not work on all cars... as we have seen evidenced.

With NA engines... flashing a new tune on there is a relative piece of cake... a lot less can go wrong.

 

true, oh I see it is a canned tune basically, i thought you could change certain variables, but I guess not.

 

you can change whether or not you want to use only "premium" fuel... which the SS/SC requires already... and you can recalibrate for different final drive ratio... or different tire sizes...

but overall they are just canned tunes in a handheld box... saves you from taking a trip to get dyno tuned if you have a NA car... they work great on Mustangs, Camaros, Vettes, all kinds of trucks... but they've never caught on in the "tuner" market b/c most everyone goes FI at some point if they are really serious about power.

 

I'd like it because I want a bit of a tune, but I don't want anything super agressive b/c I run crap gas. lol I know I should run 91 or better but I dont lol.

 

Apparently no one saw my post.

That website is a joke. Go search Google for autopartswarehouse.com reviews/problems, you will see many people who get scammed by them. They list **** that doesn't exist all the time.

 

I did search it, and only 10 or so people out of a few hundred posted negative comments. of those...they were people who didn't call the company, or who though "online shopping was the devil"


However, in your defense, I contacted both companies about the product and have heard absolutely NOTHING from either one.....speaks volumes doesn't it?

 

Really?

Those are just on the first two pages of Google search results.


Oh, and I almost forgot, who can forget this GEM right from our own board!!! People bashed me in this thread too when I told them the site was **** and they weren't getting them at that price. And guess what, no one did!
