If you got the Superchips hand held tuner, You're screwed. It will only tune the original car it was hooked up to. It " marries " itself to the first car. It won't do anything but read diagnostic codes on your car.

It's only VIN "locked" if you -never- return the original car to the "stock" settings, right?

I wasnt expecting much, I just thought i would a little! The predator is what I really wanted, But I bought the superchips for $150. It was a deal too good to pass up!

From what I have always understood with the original Superchips and Hypertech hand-helds, the only cars that really see much difference are automatics

Unless its a Superchips Custom Tuning flasher or Predator, you're just as well off sitting in your car with a Gameboy pretending that its sending tuning information via infrared beams while lighting three $50 bills on fire.
