Superchip Flash Pack 6.0-5.3

[warreng]

Ok so my buddy has a flash pack he used on his 06 2500hd with the 6.0. I'm wanting to use it on my 06 5.3 is the settings the same or do I need to download a differnt settings from superchips.. and if so will it charge for changing it???

i have a flashpaq on my 07 5.3, and yeah they will work on both yours, and your buddys motor... but. as far as i know (correct me if im wrong) most programmers you can only use on one vehichle, so once its set on your buddys, its done. he woudl either have to set his setting back to stock, and erase the memory from the tuner, then you coudl use it on yours.... as far as i know thats how it works... but also after reading everything on this forum, most woudl suggest a custom tune, rather than a programmer... and of course i read all of that after i had bought my flashpaq.... figures.

As noted above, once your buddy put his truck back to stock, you can use it on your truck.. Superchips has a section on their website to update the programmer for FREE. You can call them on the phone and they can walk you through the process.

 

Just this last weekend I compared the actual tunes from a SuperChips Flashpaq, and the Edge Evolution. The flashpaq seems to have better tuning to create MORE POWER. More aggresive, that is. Along with better transmission changes in line pressure.

 

The Flashpaq lets you adjust certain things like transmissions firmness that the Evolution does not. Butt he Evolution has a nice pod that sits on your dash so that you can see what's going on, such as real time gages for Engine temp, rpm, trans temp, etc...

 

 

The tunes from these boxes are about as custom as you can get. They spent a lot of time on them. But if you get a mail order tune, you will probably get someone elses ideas on what works and what doesn't. Some of the custom tune guys just raise timing limits and transmission pressures and call that a custom tune. There is a lot more to it than that.
