Racing - Our Heritage
Founded in England in 1983, Superchips, Inc. was one of the first companies specializing in the "tuning" of computer-controlled vehicles for more power. Vehicles programmed by Superchips have gone on to win in a variety of racing series throughout the World.
Since beginning our U.S. operations in 1992, we've continued to excel in racing, along with providing more power for street driven vehicles. Our current performance tuning comes from years of experience in tuning computer-controlled cars, trucks and SUVs, unleashing the power potential hidden under your hood...to deliver MORE POWER FOR TOW & GO!
Tuned every 200 rpm
Dyno tested and street proven
Application specific tuned products
What does this all mean?
When we program a Superchips MAX MicroTuner, Vin specific Micro Tuner, eprom or Ford Superchip for your vehicle, we don't just make a few universal changes at full throttle, our engineers make modifications throughout the entire power band, from part throttle through wide open throttle. These changes are made specific to your particular vehicle's original factory computer program.
By tuning every 200 RPM, you get more power for everyday driving with increased power in the lower RPM range where you need it. As shown below on the dyno graph, the torque gain at peak is nice, but the increased torque we found at the lower rpm range is outstanding and it's right where you really feel it on the street in everyday driving!
On the top end, notice that while the horsepower starts falling off just past 4,000 RPM, the Superchips program holds a higher level all the way to redline.
This means more torque on the bottom end to get you moving and more horsepower on the top end to keep the motor pulling strong all the way to redline.
The difference between "Peak" HP gains, and "Max" HP gains.
Traditionally, manufacturers of high-performance aftermarket parts for cars and/or trucks would advertise power gains seen at the vehicle's 'peak' HP level; this is where the vehicle makes its highest HP (and almost always at a high-RPM). For the most part, most consumers do not drive at this RPM level or throttle position frequently, if at all. Since the majority of Superchips' customers are purchasing Superchips products for driving on the street & towing instead of at the race track, we decided that it was necessary to give our customers a more representative indication of what to expect with our product. This is why we advertise both the Max (maximum) HP gain, almost always achieved at a lower RPM than Peak, as well as the Peak HP gain which is at the vehicles highest HP rating. Most vehicles have a horsepower 'peak' over 5000 RPM whereas most of the maximum HP gains that are seen with our products are between 2000-4500 RPM. Simply: Max is the 'most' or widest range between stock
and Superchips. Peak is the gain at the vehicle's highest rating.
