275s, given those choices. The SuperChips is something I'd never even consider.

I'd also consider other injectors over a 275.

Honestly I wouldn't even consider the superchips, they in my opinion aren't worth the money and don't add that much to your truck..... I would get the injectors before I would spend money on the Superchip.........JMO

Either that or just fork out the money you are going to spend on both and get the COMP, best of both worlds!!!

EDIT:

The problem with the superchip product is that it does not have a boost fooler which won't allow you to add more boost for the extra amount of fuel you will be adding which = HIGH EGT's!! Plus the power you get from the Superchips is rather pathetic compared to all of these other boxes on the market........

I have a superchips programmer and like it. It makes a difference you can feel, although I'm sure their are other options that may produce more power. I bought mine for 3 reasons:
1) Can be easily removed leaving no trace it was there (my truck is still under warranty)
2) It's mild compared to some others out there. I wanted something tame that wouldn't give me any engine/pump durability issues that I feel some of the other aftermarket devices can give.
3) I got it for $200.

Well if you will be content on only a mild boost in performance then that's a pretty decent price, but like myself any many others, we are never satisfied with what we have............it's a sickness I just always look at stuff before I buy and look at the potential for further upgrades because I hate spending money a 2nd time around for something I could have just got to begin with............I've done it a couple....thousand times

I would buy the edge ez, if your concerned about warranty issues. The superchips doesn't have a boost fooler. Otherwise, Edge comp with the rv275's.

Tengu,

The members are all correct, at 200.00 the Superchip is a good value for what you get at 400.00 the EZ is a better HP product. I always try to get customers to go with the Comp and leave the pump wire disconnected, it gets you the HP of the EZ and when you're ready for more HP (trust me you will be) it's a simple one wire connection for an extra 60+ HP, saves to cost of buying one selling it at a loss and then buying the second one. Bad for folks like us that sell products for a living but good for the your bank account!! Then add the 275RV's, yes there are better more powerful injectors out there, but for the vast majority of folks the 275RV is just exactly what they need especially in addition to the Comp/EZ module. Call us if you have any questions we do this combo all the time for members.

There's a couple old guys (55+) here at work that love their superchip tuners. Then there's the 4 young guys (20-35) that all have the COMP.

Moral of the story, if you're an old man that drives slow anyway and has no desire for more power, the superchips is perfect for you

Don't forget, a boost fooler can be added to the Superchips programer. That combo is something I am considering. Not sure of the route I want to take tho. Need Gauges first anyway.

Ha Ha ... Actually I'm in the middle of that, "38" two days ago. I went with the Superchips with a boost fooler anyway. I have had this truck for 2 years and I have done all the stuff that people here have recomended to do before bombs (thanks folks). Getting the Trans built up and the Triple disk TC last month really tapped me out. I want some more power NOW!!! I know that the comp box would be the way to go but for now I can only afford this set up. At least I get to start messing around with the engine. Call it a learning experience. Maybe next year I will swap it out.
