Just got my superchips tuner (1868). The available setting I have is
Performance (doesn't ask you to run 91)
87 octane
Tow Performance (ask's to run 91)
Stock
Econ
I'm assuming by people saying running 91 they mean the performance setting or do different super chips say different things?
So far I have 3200Km's on my truck just installed the super chip yesterday and HATE IT!
I lost my gear indicator, at cruising speed I feel I lost power and really got to spool up that turbo to get moving. It also makes a terrifying squealing noise like the wast gate is dumping, spooling, dumping, spooling. I'll try and upload a video. Today I turned on the truck and the check engine light was on, I was able to clear it but a pain in the ***.
It's making me nervous so I think i'm going to return it I've heard nothing but bad things about super chips for this truck and only good things regarding the Livernois program. May try that.

I wasnt aware that Superchips had tunes out for the 13. That could be your problem.

I purchased the truck brand new brought it to a truck outfitter told them to outfit it. They ordered an AFE intake, Super chips chip, new floor mats, put 3M on it, and put a cover on the bed. I figured they knew what they were doing. Only now that i'm having problems am I finding all these bad reviews. I'm definitely doing my home work next time!

If you do the software update you will have the gear indicators back. I think superchips offers a good product and best bang for buck. Many have and use it and I bet it is the most sold/used or one of the most sold/used.
