Okay. I wanna buy custom tunes for my truck and Idk what to get. How much are tunes? How much HP and TQ will I get? Will it work with the superchip cortex? How much HP can my truck handle from these tunes?

Let me know ASAP Thanks.

I'd suggest a few things to get your answers:

1) You need to post your engine size. While all engines will benefit from tunes, calculating HP and TQ increases will differ for each engine.

2) What other mods have you done or plan to do? An exhaust and intake upgrade will make custom tunes more efficient in these gains.

3) These topics have been talked to great extent on this forum. Use the search tool, search on "tunes", "horse power", "torque", "gains", etc. You will find a bunch of posts to read through and gain additional information.

4) Send an email to the support group (Superchip web site) and ask them specifically. Be sure to include your year, model, and engine size along with any additional mods you have done to help them provide you an answer.

5) As to how how much, the company you plan to go with can answer that.
