Automobile manufacturers must compete in a marketplace where fuel consumption, horsepower and torque are big factors, but they must also comply with emissions and other regulations. To meet these demands modern cars are controlled by computers. The computer, known as an ECU (Engine Control Unit), controls all engine settings like the air/fuel mixture, ignition timing and idle speed. A quick and easy way to do this and upgrade your vehicle’s performance is with a “superchip”, also known as an aftermarket performance chip. Aftermarket performance chips are made to adjust parameters to increase engine power and torque. The effects of the superchip can be easily reversed just by plugging it into the ECU and choosing the reset option, which will cause the ECU to revert to the factory settings. Overall, upgrading your ECU settings with a superchip is a fairly simple and low cost alternative for the everyday auto enthusiast.

the only one ive driven and seen in action is that banks package my grandfather had it installed on his f350 when he started full time RVing except only difference was that he bought the whole banks package including the chip and after about 3 tanks of diesel i figured that we were getting on average of 17 miles more out of a tank that of course went by by when we started pulling mountain passes performance wise it pull those steep grades and not break a sweat but gas milage went down the tubes

Thanks for your feedback. 17 extra miles on a tank in a towing mode is a good benefit when you take into consideration that without a chip the mileage would probably go down.

I was a beta tester for Edge and I had the Juice with attitude for my 04.5 Dodge with the cummins. I loved it.

I'm running a Diablo Trinity with a custom tune currently on my 01 Denali. The canned tune was ok, but I needed further tuning.
