Default Supercharged 2001 Yukon Hp Tuning?

I have a 2001 Yukon

I have a Vortech supercharger that I have not yet installed and I am thinking of getting a HP Tuner instead of using the Superchip programmer that comes with the kit.

Would you suggest getting the HP Tuner or using Superchips?

What kind of horsepower/torque gains are you seein when using the HP Tuner?

the superchips tune might be a good starting point, but rarely are the handheld tunes the end all...it would definitly be a wise investment to purchase hptuners not only for its scanning ability but the ability to adjust for any bad parts of the canned tune.
