Default Superchip programer or custom tune?

hello every one! well ive got a 02 2500hd with intake/exhaust/ jba headers/ granatelli maf/ felxalite efans/ and water meth inj with curently a superchip programer but i was wondering if it would be worth it to switch to a custom tune to get more out of my bolt ons and my engine?

...sounds like the guy in Vatozone that tries to lecture me on how my truck is destined to blow on nitrous, yet he's buying a Supershits tuner for his truck. Wait...Get a custom tune. I'm sure that all will agree.

def go wit the programmer, custom tunes arent worth 2 cents!, and hey if you dont have one a tornado is a nice upgrade.

o yea de-screening your maf is also a good idea.

GOOD LUCK HOMES!

Nelson, Blackbear, etc. if there is no one local. Just look at some of the sponsors on the side of the home page for reference.
