Hello Everyone!
For the past year, I've been wanting to do a couple things to my truck, with adding a power programmer being one of them. Tax return season has come so the time for me is now, but Im having second thoughts. Am I taking a huge risk with using Superchips on my truck? Basically, are these programmers worth the $330, or do they just do more damage than good? I would plan on running the 91 octane performance tune on my truck.
I am also purchasing a cat-back exhaust at the same time as the power programmer. Would I be better off doing a CAI with the exhaust instead of the programmer. A K&N CAI is a little cheaper than the programmer, but Im not to sure which one I would rather have. I already have a drop in K&N air filter in the truck.
So what would you do? Im looking to get a little more power out of my 4.7l, but I dont want to have major consequences down the road like the engine failing at 150k. My driving style is mixed, with some freeway and light city driving. I dont race the truck except for on occasion when Im lined up at the light with someone who wants to go on green. Other than that, Im fairly easy on the truck. Im looking to get a little more power, along with the meaner sound of an exhuast.
Thanks!
