I recently bought a Superchip for my Silverado, and I am not sure what to set the shift point(s) to. The 1-2 WOT Shift Point is set to STK+ 3mph/300rpm (I did that setting manually, as opposed to leaving it "superchips value.") I didn't want to mess with the 2-3 WOT Shift Point or the 3-4 WOT Shift Point, cause I was not sure what would be best for those shift points. They are currently on "superchips value." I'm not sure what numerical setting that is specifically, but I can assume it's higher than the stock setting. Should I set the later shift points to the same setting as the first one? Or do those require different settings?

Thanks,
Evan

should've got a custom tune for the price you paid for that superchip, unless you got a smokin deal on it

silverado571

Got it for $150

country_09

turn around and sell it for 250 and go get a real tune. I did the same thing

silverado571

Yeah I'll think about doing that, thanks for the help, my truck looks a lot similar to yours actually

stepside an all? I love the stepside. the tune will make a huge difference compared to the superchip

now i got a question im looking into tuning my 2010 5.3...
would you recommend this?
also what kind of gain am i looking at?
who would you recommend.. i was looking at superchips, someone had mentioned black bear and wheatley.. whos better and how hard is this tune on the actual truck?

country_09

yes i recommend that...i've got a wheatley tune and its amazin over the bullydog programmer i had. Do you plan on doin any other mods to the truck like exhaust, intake, headers? if so people have dynoed they're trucks and seen 40-50hp gains when its all tied together. they're both good, most go with blackbear because he has lower prices but i went with wheatley because he's here in houston with me so it made more sense. and blackbear is always travelin place to place doin tunes in meets. maybe find a meet that close by and go to him, if not i hear his return on the tune is about a week i think and they tune's not hard on the truck at all...you pick everything that you want done to it

As of right now i have a cat back system y pipe duals out the back and a k&n air flow intake kit..
im currently looking into the tune but now sure how hard it is on the truck.. i am located in canada so im more or less shopping around also i dont know anything about tuning.. only came across it on trucks the series.. hah.. but what do you mean by the bullydog programmer? what exactly is this.. i heard of bullydog but i thought they dealt mainly in diesel..

country_09

really all the tune is doin is unlockin the power that GM is holdin back so they can meet their requirements with gas mileage. it helps out with power and mileage tons. yeah they do deal with deisels most of the time, but they have a few products for gas trucks and bein the gullible 16 yr old I was I bought it and "thought" I noticed a difference but in reality I didn't until I got the tune
