I just got my Superchip tuner and was quite shocked of the difference mainly in shifting. I know a 4.7L comes stock around 230 correct? Now how much HP do yall think I gained with my 01' 4.7 club cab?

 

[Kens03Ram]

S/C on 93 tune is the greatest!! 230 is at the flywheel. Rear Wheel your looking at closer to 175ish. I think SC adds about 10-15%. Part of that depends on other mods as well.

Those gains are through a Manual Transmission though, im sure, i'd say 10-15 HP and torque at best through an Auto. The main difference your feeling is the shifting and revving higher before shifting, i cant tell a difference between econo tune and performance tune, but i get better mileage on performance tune, so thats my reason for running it.

where on the power band does that power come tho? I want low end power, not a shit load of power at like 5 grand...you know what i mean?

 

[0347Dak]

I wouldnt expect any low end gain from a programmer, and if your expecting a lot of power then you shouldnt be buying it all, these are impressive for what they are but the dont work wonders like a cam and a stall and gears would do

 

[TDH01DAKOTA]

hey 0347 dak,
i was wondering how much a good mechanic would cahrge to install cams.....i dont want to do it cuz ill **** it all up

 

[0347Dak]

well first you have to buy the overpriced cams to begin with, im not sure what a good mechanic would charge, i would check your local dealer, if it were me i would do them myself, cam swaps are very easy, anyone can do them, especially overhead cams, its one of the simplest things you can do to the internals of a motor.

 

[TDH01DAKOTA]

any special tools required?

 

[Jecht]

if you want more low end tourqe. then use the towing setting. you can feel the difference between towing and preformance.

 

[Modain47]

I second that, Jecht!

 

[0347Dak]

When doing the cams, most likely you will go through KRC, they provide all the tools needed to do the cam swap yourself

chips

i agree with the cams being a big boost in power
i have read that the chip can store a code after time of use does any one know if true

 

[ScSilverDak]

The Superchips Programmer was designed for mainly for a stock engine with minimal mods, Cold Air, Catback Exhaust........

If you've done more or gone further with Cams, Ported Heads and Intake, Headers, Etc......

A PCM flash is probably a better bet to get the Most from the Mods you've done.

and of course it all depends on your Budget too!

 

[0347Dak]

Very true, but one thing to remember when you have done ported heads cams, intake, headers, exhaust etc. You shouldn't be worrying about a little thing like budget because your pcm flash will be 100 bucks more then a programmer
