Hypertech vs.Superchips programmer.

[little rowe boat]

I am in the market for a programmer for my 2000 F350 w/ a powerstroke 7.3 diesel and was wondering if anyone has any experience with either the Hypertech or the Superchips programmer.Which is better or which would you recommend?
Thx Lrb.:confused:

Had the Superchips.....never worked. It wouldn't upload the program... Don't waist your time with this one. They do have great cust service though
Have the Hypertech now....Smokes bad and I get a check engine light when I tow my 30' Weekend Warrior (10,000 lbs). Stained my chrome bumper black. Milage non towing is 10-13 mpg with 37" tires & 8-10 towing. Hypertech dumps alot of fuel and thats about it.
Save yourself alot of trouble, I just ordered the Banks six gun and get it tomorrow.
Alot of people like the edge, I didn't buy it because I heard alot of people had problems with it. Not starting etc....
Good luck

I have a quadzilla.. its a module so.. when you take it in for warrantee work.. you just unplug it.. I have it installed on my 250 if you want to come up and check it out.. Its amazing:D

The "check engine light" is overboost. My Excursion does it all the time. Very common with any chip....so I have been told.

i sold my powerstroke. but i had 2 of them with chips. when i installed the exhuast from the turbo back i quit having the overboost check engin light. i think the exhuast was 4"

I had the Superchips and it was nothing but problematic. I'd get the overboost service engine deal driving down the road not pulling anything. Went with the Edge/Attitude in December and haven't had a problem. I think it's the only way to go. :D
