am i the only one

i finally broke down and got a tune the sc and ive always read that its not that great but comin from stock its awesome fast strong boost bout 20-21. but my question is am i the only one doin 2nd gear burnouts with it everyone with it said it wont do it and im not talkin a chirp it breaks loose like a mother. it will def satisfy me till i get tuned with hpt once i find someone that can do it. i dont think that the stage kit will be any better they claim 280 crank and a guy on here did 288 whp with this so i think ill pass the kit up

I can't see anything over 91 octane giving you any benifits, especially with the SC tune, unless you are specifically tuned for it.. As far as I know, superchips doesn't change anything with your timing and you aren't pushing rediculoud amounts of boost, so a higher octane fuel could actually hurt your perfomance and/or the motor.. Unless you are tuned for race fuel, I would personally HIGHLY recommend not using it.. That is of course just my oppinion and others may think differently

yeah that should be more than plenty for the SC tune.. not to mention like half the price of race fuel anyways..

Second gear burnouts with just the throttle tip in is pretty cool, eh? I shredded mine a few times yesterday. Running 30 psi cold seems to help traction on mine a bit.

i miss being stock just cause you didn't have to worry about voided warranty shenanigans....
