Ripp has done all kinds of work breaking the ECU code and then programming for their supercharger setup. What do you hope to gain by using the superchip that was designed for a stock vehicle?

I could see it if you are adjusting gear ratios, tire size, TMPS, but to instal Superchips performance tune over the top of the RIPP tuning seems that your defeating the purpose of the supercharger. If your looking for more performance and are willing to risk engine longevity, I think it would be better to contact RIPP about a higher performance tune.

I just ordered a Ripp SC Monday and they told me not to use the Superchips with the SC. The Superchips will mess up their programmer. I have to go back to my ACCU PRO to reprogram my gears and tire size. I guess I will be put my Superchips up for sell, which sucks I just had the superchips for a month!
