performance programmer
I have a '05 Z71 with the 5.3L and was looking at getting a performance tuner. Superchips seems to be the popular one-are these really worth the money and which one is best for the silverado-thanks.

RE: performance programmer
Custom tune by Neslon Performance is the best way to go. if your still looking for a handheld, then the Diablo Predator is the best. stay away from superchips and hypertech. they are both junk. good luck

RE: performance programmer
I've heard good things about wait4me but cant say for sure as I haven't used him.
Alot of people I know speak highly of hypertech but I am looking also so can't comment there either.
Obviously bad2006z71has had some bad personal experience with them.
I was actually looking at the Hypetech extreme energy but am planning on an air cleaner system before I take the performance chip or tuner plunge.

RE: performance programmer
Yea ive had both the Max Energy and the PP3 by hypertech, they are a waste of money. Superchips ive heard was good for deisels but not gas motors. Diablo or custom tune is the only way to go. as for air cleaners i have the K&N intake and have been very happy with it.

RE: performance programmer
I have the superchips max micro tuner and it works great. Has 4 different level of adjustment. I use the performance towing and it runs great. The best thing about a handheld is you can always uninstall it without sending the PCM to someone to put it back. Take 5 minutes to uninstall. Just a personal preference.
