Any Gen III with a Superchip installed?

Any horror stories, good results? Tell me what this mod did for the car , as much or more than expected? Less? Waste of money? Thanx.

From everything I have read over the years, they are all pretty much horror stories, with the occasional, it did nothing story. General conclusion of most in the know about superchips is do not go there for this motor. I think there are dozens of threads with details over on V8SHO.com

I have not tried a Superchip on my SHO, but I did try it on my brother's old '96 Mustang GT.

It was a very bad idea. At first it seemed to provide some added performance and improved the shift quality. Then after a few days the car began to stall and misfire, eventually it was undrivable. I pulled the chip out and everything went back to normal. We got our money back, but Superchips could not provide a decent explanation for what happened. Car & Driver had a similiar experience when they tried one on a '99 Cougar and I have also heard similar horror stories from other SHO owner.

DO NOT BUY A SUPERCHIP

Thanks all who responded, the Superchip is a no-go.
I am having a look see at the Diablo this week, I know a guy with one in a Lightning.

Is the Diablo chip really a viable option? I didn't know anyone was running this chip or any chip with any success.

Have been doing the leg work, the Diablo is offered for the 3.4 V8, as far as I can tell. So far best price is here...http://www.super-chip.com/
Nothing but rave reviews about other apps. so far. No SHO yet though...

I KNOW that there is a SHO chip that has been made for the 3.4L by diablochip...I KNOW

call them and see what they say

They tell me at 2d performance that I should get the chip by Wednsday. thumbs_u

So does that mean you ordered it? If so, let us know how it works. I have also heard nothing but horror stories but if this is the new and improved chip, I may have to get it as well. What is the price? Let me/us know. It would be an exciting modification if it works. I hope it does, good luck.

Well since ****** Brian let the cat out of the bag. Diablo WILL have the chip that works. been testing for a long time and 1 bug left to get out. Dont call them yet cause it wont work. wait till the dyno stuff happens in a few weeks.They only have my code plus 2 others that I had flown in there. the gains are good but you will rip the tranny out of the car. Since Brian likes to tell you can ask him for the money.

Brian you are privey to info as a freind not to blab. now STFU! shoot

Had a talk with Danny at 2D this morning, the Diablo people do not have my computer code (until now) so my chip is in the back order stage.

Interesting that Superchips does not have a chip with my code either.
