Hi there, I have the above truck 2002 and was wondering if the superchip or like programmer will give me much increase in HP. It only comes with the auto so in 2WD it spins the rear but won't really lay down a smoke show which I would like...I am also doing the intake and exhaust this month but any other ideas would help...thanks

Hi,
I've got the same truck, but w/the AWD and LSD, so I don't have the spin issue (although I'd like to break all 4 loose!). Here's what I have installed w/a rating 1-5 (5=worth every penny) for value:
52mm Fastman Throttle Body - 2
Gibson Cat-Back Exhaust - 1 -more noise only?
Harland 1.7 Roller Rockers - 2
Homebrew cold air intake - on before I bought it.
JBA Headers - Not installed

B&G PCM M1 Flash - Requires Premium - 4.5

I tried a Superchips before I bought the B&G, and could feel it but wasn't worth it.

I've not done the intake as it's mainly a higher-rpm mod, or so I've read.

have fun,
Todd

Hey wtdash.....what was your rating on the programer? You rated the B&G as 4.5 so worth the money but the programmer????? THe advantage being I can always set it back to stock anytime I want....or for better fuel milage.

it's ridiculous, like 44 hp, 40 ft pounds, and i hear it's not false claims like
"5hp from spacer"

2000 4X4 QUAD-CAB WITH 5.9 LTR. SUPERCHIP PROGRAMMER HAS MINIMUL UPGRADES, NO TRANS UPGRADES OR COOLING FAN INPUTS... GAINED GOOD LOWER-END USABLE TORQUE, AND LOST 10% FUEL MILEAGE... 66,000 MILES ON TRUCK NOW, WILL ONLY RETURN TO STOCK MODE FOR EMISSIONS TESTING DAY... SAME GOES FOR MY 2004 GTO, BUT IT GETS MAJOR TUNING OPTIONS FROM SUPERCHIPS... FOR THE $450.00 COST OF THE S/C TUNER, IT'S THE BEST TORQUE VALUE INVESTMENT SO FAR... SYNTHETICS HELP TOO... MSK...

Only the BG flash will do what you want, as far as I know it is the only one to disable the torque management system. Ie. why you can't spin the tires :)
