Where did you buy it? I noticed a number of dealers that sell it for quite a bit less than buying direct from Superchips.

 

Okay,

with this tune, will it learn up with bolt ons or will it still sit at the targeted 40whp and 56wtq? e.g. - downpipe

I know if you order the tirfecta tune and then add bolt ons, you need to retune, but with this tune, if you get the tune, install it stock and then add intake and DP, I can just hook up the tuner to the ecu?

I'm thinking this tune as well since it's more conservative and the warranty is nice!

 

I ordered direct. I noticed the dealers in my area but I felt more comfortable ordering direct...plus I dont feel like driving to any of those dealers ha ha. So i'll just wait till next week for my goodies to come in the mail!!

Like I said bolt-ons are welcome. They should have more tunes available later. I mean look at YaKko he has the superchips tune and a bunch of bolt-ons.

 

Takes fine to my intake, and muffler delete.
Also make sure you let your car warm up before driving it first thing in the morning, or it will run runny till you get to a good temp. My car did that stock though.

 

NIIICE!!

I'm on their website currently,

is this the tune you ordered that comes with the warranty? It says it does at the bottom.

and these 3#'s are only with 91 fuel?!?!

I'm so happy I have 93 octane around me!!!



run weak?

EDIT: I also like the fact that you can retune as more updates come out!

 

Anyone else looking at these, you can order them from authorized online dealers and save yourself 50 to 100 bucks and get free shippping. That's what I plan on doing!

 

No you can just tell its not warmed up

 

Cortex is the one you want if you want the warranty

 

+1 on that

 

I'm guessing it's the tune that is specific to the SS/TC and the hand held device is semi-universal, right? I found a bunch of superchips dealers around me but I'm wondering how much of an issue it will be to find for my application..

 

Its a programmer for a bunch of GM vehicles. Then after you use it, it mates with your Vin, and you cannot use it on any other car.

 

drewbroo...you planning on dynoing it this weekend?

yea, i don't understand why it is so much cheaper at all these other vendors for other vehicles.... its the same part number for all these GM vehicles 2950. So why couldnt I just buy the one for a Silverado, download latest software update, and tune my car? I guess they use a universal unit and sell it with different tunes on them... someone else mentioned this.

 

damn they gained 60whp and 80ft lb on the HHR SS
This may be a better solution than trifecta because they tune for all TPS positions not just WOT

 

Kinda wanted it to be a surprise. But yeah, I just gotta find a shop close by

 

Oh well that would be cool as hell my "estimated delivery date" is on the 10th! I wouldnt be able to dyno though till like July when i get back from Vacation.

 

If I can do it tomorrow I will. If I can do it today after work I will.

 

did you guys get a 2nd ecu?

 

I have not, But I will get one if something seems out of the ordinary. Next day shipping is your friend

 

I would still like to see something a tad bit more aggressive from superchips, I wonder if they will do any more updates that grow on these numbers. Anybody know if possible?

 

The numbers grew on the HHR SS, so I would imagine the same for the CSS.

 

Anyone know if you can have two tunes on the same programmer? Like one for performance and one for fuel mileage still using 91 octane of course.

 

I believe the cortex has 3 tunes loaded onto the same unit, and I also believe you can download new tunes to the unit as well via internet updates. Of course I could be wrong. Cortex has a youtube infomercial, just type cortex superchips into search bar.

Yeh...but imagine doesnt help much right now considering we were all imagining GM would have released the stage kit by now too. I would like to see if they definately up the numbers before spending 400 dollars on a canned tuned. Do you know if superchips does any customizations? Like say when you add on boltons can it more customized for it? I know it accepts bolt-ons, but accepting is totally different than tuning for. Sorry for all the questions but inquiring minds want to know, lol.

 

The flashpaq also lets you pic your tune too. I still have no idea why it doesn't come with the PT warranty like the cortex..... its the same tune.

 

Go check out Cobb AccessPort...SuperChips is a lot like that...more tunes will be available as time goes along with the addition of things like exhausts or the 93 tune (or so I was told)...but they don't necessarily do "Custom Tunes."

Odds are the powertrain warranty they offer with it won't be used but the only real difference I could find is...$50...plus the Cortex one seems to be a little more like a dashhawk or something because it does record 1/4 mile runs and display vehicle information which is kind of a cool feature.
