Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications General Mods superchips....Can you feel the power increase?

I'm deffinately interessted in getting one.
based on experience canyou really feel the power increase as soon as you slap it in. The charts say up to 20 horses.. Is it accurate?

I don't know about the SVTs but it helps out the automatics out more by changing shift points. You can feel a little more power behind the shifts. It think with the SVTs it is a toss up; I've heard people said it helped them and some it didn't. I think it depends on your computer code.

Hit it right on the head.

I Felt a difference the first time I drove the car..But hey I have a Zetec/// I couldn't even guess on the SVTS.

I bought a Supership and the car LOST 4 hp. I sent it back and had it redone and it made the same as stock. I wouldn't get one. I saw more power on the dyno from a drop in K&N air filter. Alot more.

It lightens your wallet by a few grams, if that helps. I haven't heard many good reviews of a drop-in chip, but I believe a couple owners have had good results from custom burns to accompany their BPU+'s.

Thanks for the imput. I probably won't be getting one.

I had great results from mine....but since I've
modded my car more, I probably need a new program.
For that reason, you may want to do the chip last!

My chip came with the car when I bought it and it started making the car stall out unexpectedly. I took it out and sent it back to get new codes, got it back and now the check engine light comes on. But I think I could feel the extra boost . . . could be in my head.

My car lost power, too. Two reburns with new code and still no luck. I pulled it out and wow, did the car feel snappier.
