Reflashing???

When i bought my car it came with a superchip that I never installed because the previous owner said it needing reflashing. I dont know anything about superchips and flashing/reflashing them..

It means he bought a chip that was burnt for another car. If it's blue it's a paper weight. Sell it on Ebay for $50. If it's a red chip you could find a local tuner to dyno tune your car and burn the new program on that chip. Honestly unless you have an engine swap or some type of forced induction it will be a waste of money to get a tune at the moment.

Why would you say that? I have a blue SCT chip in my Cougar that I think is the same as the old superchips. I had it reflashed by Nautilus and got a multi position switch for it at the same time.

Mine looks like this:

That's not the blue chip I was talking about. The normal blue chips as shown below either can't be reflashed or aren't capable of being flashed with the new superchips software. Is that chip above superchips? I know diablo chips looked like that but I wasn't sure if SCT/Superchips offered a bare board version other than maybe the multiposition they sell.

Here is the red one:

You can contact SCT to see what they say about that chip but I'd recommend selling it and sticking with bolt on mods until you do a 3L swap or a supercharger/turbo where a tune would be useful.
