Does the superchip void the warranty ?

any factory service that you need you actually remove the sc program it takes about 5 min. ,once out the dealer can't detect any modification.

Dont expect a MPG increase with the superchips. HOwever, the performance is well worth the price! I only paid 300 for a brand new one!
OK -- then does the MPG decrease with the SC??

I honestly cant give a good opinion of what it does to MPG. I programmed my superchips at the exact time I put 24's on. However, i have had 3 flashpaqs now and I never saw a noticable increase, or decrease in MPG. Driving conditions vary to much to get a good idea I think.

Shark, yours is stock maybe you can give some info on your MPG after adding the superchips.

Don't be fooledinto believing that "once out the dealer can't detect any modification".

The ECM stores a lot of information and if they are suspicious or get snoopy it can be found out, however it is rare that a warranty denial will result.

I installed the Superchip on my '07 Tahoe w/ 2500 miles. After the next 2500 with chip in, I was getting .9 mpg better. Oh, and I use
Super Unleaded (92 octane).

Well I just went with the base program so far but haven't done any hwy miles yet. Didn't see any change in town. Of course it was done during our coldest part of the winter so hard to draw a comparison. When I get the new cat back on, I plan to do some testing since the Superchips has data acq now. Also have a GtechPro that I haven't used yet. Something about finishing the master bath remodel. []

PS: Is the Beemer in lieu of a rock?

Are you saying your stock programming is still loaded into the programmer? If so, then yes you have a useless programmer unless you can get sc to reflash it.
