Default Who here has used Superchips?

I just bought a Superchips Max MicroTuner for my mildly modified Mustang Cobra-4.6 DOHC V-8 putting out approximately 320 BHP. I know that Superchips products are very popular in Europe, probably more so there than here in the U.S. Was just wondering what other Superchips customers have to say about their purchase, it doesn't matter if you have a Escort Cosworth or a Fiat Punto. Personally, I like mine; don't think it made a major difference in overall HP and torque, but the timing and fuel curve adjustments have really improved tip-in acceleration on the street.

Back in the 5.0 days SuperFord Magazine did a dyno test on 3 chips. The summary of the test, "a chip is a great way for non-tech.. to gain 10hp at wot w/o lifting the hood." "...equal gains can be achieved with a fuel regulator and timing light." In short all the chips did was add a few degrees advance. Just turning the distributor accomplished the same thing.
