Just got it in today. Updated and installed. Have to say I was skeptical from hearing so many mixed reviews. Ran it around the block and could notice a difference in throttle response for sure. Also corrected the speedo and double checked it with me gps. Like people said it doesn't turn into a hemi but it is noticeable and I recommend. As far as the lurchiness, I haven't had that problem yet but will post back if I do.

I looked for it today on a cold start, no issues with the throttle lurching. Haven't tried it hot yet however. On 89.

fyi i updated my tuner last night and i think it put new software in cause it took very looong..
today the lurchiness feels much less. i also put 89 in and running the 87 tune... its very happy with that combo!!
also noticed alot less popping on decel below 2000rpm which it did before update and before 89.kinda sounded cool.

so try an update and try a tank of 89.

I wish Superchips would tell you what the updates are before it installs them into your tuner (like Windows).
