Who's running Superchips on Perf w/ 48RE

How many people out there running the superchips on performance with a STOCK 48re? How are they holding?

What kind of mileage increase did yall see? My overhead went from 14.5 cruising at 70 , to 26. I hand calculated at 22.5. Thats a pretty significant increase in mileage. Truck as 10K on it.

I have it and tranny seems to be doing okay. Just put my gauges in tonight and god, the EGT's are well over 1400 if you keep your foot in it on the perf. Be careful. What EGT"s are others seeing on performance?

I have a SC in my truck. I have been through like one tank. I am ordering a new clutch. Last night I took a long fwy drive to pick up a Dana 60 front. On the way back, I noticed that less than half throttle, I get slippage as soon as boost hits.

Power is great.

I had a bad torque converter and it would not handle the performance level. So I put in a heavy duty one, I run no more that 1350 in performance, but I'm straight piped.

Actually I got the boost fooler about a week and half ago installed and no difference at all. So I called tech support told them my problems and they went through all the steps I already had. I told them it wasnt working. They said send it back they would try it another truck. They called me three days later and sure enough it was bad.(just my luck) Anyways when they called they they were back ordered now but it should be on the way today. So i let you know.
