Superchips Frequently Asked Questions
Will it void my warranty?
No. It is illegal for a dealership to void your warranty based solely on the fact that you have installed an aftermarket product. But always remove the tuning before going to a dealer for service.
For information regarding denial of warranty coverage, go to the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act.
Is it safe to purchase a Superchips product off an Internet Auction site?
There's a good chance the answer is No! We get a number of calls and email from buyers that bought what they thought was a new or usable product, only to find out it was used and unusable. Superchips, Inc warranty applies to the original owner only. They do not warrant any used products. You must provide a copy of the sales reciept in your name for any warranty service.
Will it damage my transmission?
No. In most cases, transmission operation is improved.
Why won't the chip or Tuner work on my vehicle? It's the same motor.
While the motor may be the same, the programming of the computer can and usually does change from one model vehicle to another and from one year to the next. If the label on the Tuner states 96-03, it won’t work on an 04 model.
How difficult is this to install?
Extremely easy. Usually installation takes less than 10 minutes and requires no automotive knowledge whatsoever. Please refer to the Installations section for additional information.
Will this improve my fuel mileage?
While Superchips designs their programs specifically for more performance and better drivability, in most cases the vehicle gets better fuel mileage.
Can my vehicle be returned back to stock?
Yes, by simply removing the program setting.
Do Superchips products require a higher grade fuel than 87 octane?
While some Superchips products give you the choice of running 87 or 91-93 octane fuel, most vehicles require the use of 91- 93 octane fuel to get the advertised increase in Horsepower and Torque output.
Does Superchips have all throttle point tuning?
Yes, Superchips tunes at all throttle positions, from idle to full.
Will it remove the speed limiter?
In most vehicles this option is available. Please check our products page for your vehicle’s specific list of options.
What type of warranty does Superchips carry?
All Superchips products come with a 30-day money back guarantee as well as a limited 12 month warranty from date of purchase. Your sales receipt is your proof of purchase and is required for any warranty coverage.
Can I stack a Superchips performance product on top of another product?
NO! Superchips does not recommend the stacking of our product on top of any other performance enhancing chip, module or tuner. Superchips will not warrant or be liable for any damage caused by the stacking of our Superchips product on top of another performance enhancing chip or programmer.
Will the Superchips Tuner work with aftermarket modifications?
Typically our tuning is designed to work with basically stock vehicles.
Cat back Exhaust are ok.
Shorty headers are ok on normally aspirated applications.
Cold Air Intakes are typically ok, but only when the mass air meter is the same distance from the throttle body as with the stock intake.
Bigger down pipes on diesels typically work fine except on the 6.0L Ford where the bigger down pipes hurt the low end torque of the motor.
Tuner needs update. What do I do?
Once the tuner states “Needs Update", write down the files shown on the tuner display, turn off the ignition
and unplug the tuner. Locate original sales receipt and call Superchips if you have a Max Tuner or log onto www.Flashpaq.com if you have a Flashpaq Tuner.
Why doesn't my Tuner display screen light up when I plug it in?
On Fords, GMs and some Dodges, your cigarette lighter fuse may be blown. Other Dodge products will have a blown fuse other than the cigarette lighter fuse.
What is the difference between "Peak" HP gains, and "Max" HP gains?
Peak HP gains are measured at the RPM level that the stock motor made it’s highest horsepower. Max HP gains are measured at the RPM level with the greatest gain over stock.
Simply: Max is the most or widest range between stock and Superchips. Peak is the gain at the vehicle’s highest rating.
Is there a Flashpaq or Max Tuner for my Motor home or Van?
Sorry, but Superchips currently does not offer products for motor homes or most vans. However, there are some applications for Ford and Chevrolet.
What do I do if I am taking the vehicle to the dealer?
Always, make sure you take the tuning out of your vehicle and return it to stock before going to the dealer for any kind of service. There is a fee you will have to pay, if you leave the tuning in your vehicle and the dealer flashes over it.
