Make sure it's compatable with your truck and that it's unlocked first.

Depending on the model Superchip it is, it could do a variety of things. Generally though, the superchip will change specs such as fuel and air ratios, timing, and shift points so the truck runs more efficiently. There is not a big difference in power, somewhere in the ballpark of 3-10HP gain, maybe a little more MPG, but nothing to write home about overall. I guess if I knew what model it was I could tell you more.
