That would be what you would call a "canned tune", and yes it is for real. Super Chips is a pretty legit company.

It's not going to get you the results that you can get from HPT or Trifecta, since those are adjusted specifically for your car.

Have you seen the gains an lnf gains from a tune? 40hp would be on the low side...

Superchips has been around forever and usually has good stuff... That being said, why would you spend $80 more then a Trifecta tune and not get as good results as you get with the Trifecta? Trifecta has been dyno proven to 300hp on an otherwise stock motor. So that's nearly a 70-80hp increase over stock (to the ground.) I don't remember the torque numbers people are getting off the Trifecta, but it's just as good if not better.

superchips is legit... the ones you have to watch out for are the ones for like 99cents that say they improve mileage and hp. but this one is legit.

Yeah, they're legit.

However, on their site the product listed isn't LNF specific....so, I wouldn't trust it. There are built in tunes for the LNF that claim 40hp and 53tq, as listed, but you would probably be much better off with a real tune..

Coverage the following engines: 8.1L, 7.4L, 7.0L LS7, 6.2L, 6.0L LS2, 5.7L, 5.7L LS1, 5.7L LS6, 5.3L, 5.3L LS4 (FWD), 5.0L, 4.8L and 2.0L Turbo

That is a tiny torque gain. Most tunes gain 80 ft lbs of torque not 50.

On a tc....hmmmm, seems about right, even a "good" canned tune could acheive it
(+/-5hp).

there was someone else that bought it, found the car wasn't supported, contacted the company, and they sent him an update and he got the tune.

one of the other cool things about this though is it's also a diagnostic tool. Many good diagnostic tools cost almost as much as this, and they don't log as much, or increase power at all. in that regard it's well worth it, but of course it's not as good as a real tune from purely a performance standpoint.
