Can you stack anything with the Superchips Programmer?

I have a Superchips handheld on the truck in my sig. I was thinking about adding a EdgeEZ or a VA box to it. Will I hurt, gain, or lose anything with either one of those boxes stacked with the Superchips?

Thanks!

I have tried to find what exactly the superchips adds to no avail so I don't know what it adds to be honest with you.

I was under the impression that it did add timing,then some others told me I was wrong..Not sure what it does ,kind of like a smarty without running timing I guess,really limited fuel.I think one would be much wiser spending a few more bucks on a smarty

**** it I was looking for a little cheaper way out as far as boxes go. I REALLY want a smarty and it looks like you guys are going to talk me in to it.

My combo would then be EDM 110 sticks, 4" downpipe into 5" stacks, swiss cheese air box, boost elbow and a smarty.

Thoughts?...

Hardly! the smarty and superchips is day and night. A completely different way of adding timing and fuel.

for what the smarty does, you cant beat it

If it doesn't tap the fuel wire it can only be a timing box. You can probably stack it with any fueling only box.


This is an edgeamakated guess, so take it for what's it worth.

I dont think so,the smarty creates new fuel maps and does not tap the pump.And it can be ran without added timing.Thats how Im running mine.It gives me phenominal low end fueling.

I was merely comparing them as 2 downloaders,and that they both do not tap the pump wire.I also meant that the superchips was really limited in fuel,not the smarty.I am aware of how good it is,thats why I bought one

A smarty with those injectors is an insanely good combo. TONS of power right off of the line. The superchips does all of it's power with timing so you can't stack another timing box (Edge for sure but not quite sure on VA) on top of it. Just sell the superchips, get the smarty, and you'll be set for a while. Until the bug bites you again and then get the TST. Just look at my sig for what that combo puts down on a dying auto.
