Default 2007 TAHOE SUPERCHIPS 2815?

Does anyone have the superchips 2815 on their 2007 tahoe? What do you think? Is it worth it? Where did you get it and how much? Anyone have one for sale?

Are there other programmers that anyone has purchased for their 07 tahoe? Thanks.

I have one for my '07 Tahoe. I definitely gives the Tahoe more power and firmer shifting. It also removes the Top Speed Limiter among other things. I ran into a problem with mine once I installed it.....the engine pinged on full acceleration with higher RPMs. I contacted Superchips and they were very helpful. The tech said that they had not experienced any pinging during testing, BUT that because I live in California the 91 gas may not actually be like the gas everywhere else because of harsh emission regulations and additives to the gas. So he said that he would talk to the engineers and get back to me the next day. He did...he asked me to log on and download the newest file for the 2815 via Flashpaq.com.... I have not heard the ping since I downloaded the newest file to my Tahoe... I forget the website I bought mine from, but it was $480 ...I think.

That sounds great. Do you know if the pick up off the line is much better? What about acceleration from high speeds? I mean going about 70 and punching the gas is there a sig. diff.? I have the air raid system and the magnaflow exhaust now, thinking about getting the superchips flashpaq. Also do you have to use super or plus unleaded gas or can you use regular. By the way I hope to get one soon and I am getting it for cost.

Dark.... I notice that there is better response at higher speeds rather than off the line. When I first installed the programmer to the Tahoe (the Superchip recommended setting...engine and shifting) ...I was driving down the road about 35-40.......floored it...it downshifted and kicked itself in the a$$... My first response was Holy ****...The tahoe took off. I was like a kid in the toy store. I actually decreased the shift settings because they were too strong for everyday driving.
You can use...91 or 87...they have settings for both. I use 91 octane, with Airaid intake, Poweraid Throttle Body Spacer, Jet Mass Air Flow Sensor, MagnaFlow Exhaust, and Daystar Coil Spacers.

wolf,

do you have any numbers as far as hp and tq? Did the MAF do anything before you installed the superchips? Reason I ask is b/c I have 4.10 gears and it takes off pretty quick, but I was wondering if it shifts any tighter, can't seem to burn rubber off the line. It might be the tires grabbing, but I don't know. DOES ANY ONE OUT THERE HAVE ANY DYNO NUMBERS.

Thanks for the info wolf.

Dark.

Thanks for the info. I had the superchips flashpaq on my 05 hemi ram. It was very noticable also, mainly the firmer shifts and better throttle response.

However I had a lot of issues with mine for the hemi. They had it in their hands working on it more than I had it on my truck in a years time.

Any problems with the flashpaq for the 07 hoe? Can you change the tire settings with the 2815?

I have seen them on ebay for around 375 with make offer. I actually got a deal on the one for my hemi, i offered an ebay seller 300 and they accepted. However they never accepted anyone elses offer of 300, must have been an accident.

Thanks for the info and i will get one.

What CAI do you have? The full kit or just the filter? What is the item/part number?

Let me see what I can do I know that they run about 450+, I am getting one for about 100 less. That is the cost for the dealer that I am going thru. I went thru him to get my custom exhaust (magnaflow) for only 240..Here are the pics.
