superchip?
Supposed 18hp gain with 2-3 mph gain on highway. I know some will argue with the numbers and I want to hear that. But the torque with low end improvement is what I really want out of my 2006, 4.4 . Any input? Gas engine owners.

if you mean Superchip as in "SuperChips like www.superchips.co.uk be careful as the upgrade is not done through the OBD which means it is easier for the dealer to spot as they go into your ECU to do the upgrade.

I didn't know there was a superchip available for a U.S. 4.4. Where'd you find it?

nope don't think so. Superchip is done by going into your ECU and NOT via the OBD - port. am I making any sense yet. well at least that is how they upgraded my X5 it is always best to get a remap done via the OBD port.  I would suggest anyone with a X5 to go down the road of a MTH file you buy the cable and software you download your ECU settings and e-mail to MTH in Germany they tweak them send them back to you and you upload back into your ECU which means you have boths files on your computer and you can return your car back to standard takes about 3 mins to do and is ideal when the car is due in at the dealers for any work also should they overwrite your upgrade no worries you just upload it again when your back home.Costs about £600 GBP but they defo do the X5 as I asked I have the MTH on both my Mini's

Also don't know about the States but you will find in Europe a lot of the companies offering you performance upgrade like new induction kit exhaust plus a ECU re-map it is actually a MTH file they use for the re-map.

Here is a link for the site
http://www.mth-powerchip.de/_neu1407/e_index.php You just got to trust me on this one if you want to tune your X5 via re-map then this is the only one to use. I have nothing to do with this company or gain from suggesting you use them. I am only going from my findings and others to just how good their re-map is.

maybe i'm confused as to what powerchip does then.
i'm pretty sure someone on here said that they too send u a cable of some sort and u download ur current map, send it to them, they send it back and the user installs the new map via the cable and the software.  i'm lost.
