    Default What's everyone's Superchips Cortex settings

    Tell me what you have your Cortex set to. My experience is all of 30 minutes with it, so I'm looking for your personal experience.

    Mine is set at 91 and the transmission is set at "SUPERCHIPS" which I believe is 100%.

    You seem to be the expert and I'm sure you've tried every option, so I'm gonna try that out.

    Rev raised, speed limiter raised, 91 tune, 125% shift torque (awsome) all other SC values. I'm still wanting to try the 150% shift, but, just haven't set it there yet. What can be changed in the quick tune?

    I do adjust the shift torque around depending on temp. The more heat, the more shift torque.

    Shift torque at Superchips value (100%), and I can melt the tires right off

    I think I got whiplash when I had it set at 125. Quickly changed it back to 100, now back down to SRG's 50% to give that a whirl. Sure is nice to be able to plug and change it unlike all the other tunes available.

    I have it all at the same execpt for the fan setting I left at stock. I tried it at superchips setting and it seemed to be always on when the car was running awhile. Especially when stoped it bothered me. Seemed very loud even with the windows up inside the car. So set it back to stock and its all good!

    Under mild acceleration with the Superchips settings, the engine revs higher than I prefer before shifting. It would be nice to have economical low rpm shifts in normal mode and performance shifts in sport mode.

    Mine's currently set to 87 octane and 50% shift torque with all other values at Superchips default.

    I've tried 50%, 100%, and 150% shift torque thus far. I think 50% is pretty close to where I want the car to be, but I'm going to try 75% before I finalize where I want it long term.

    Also, I'm going to change the rev limiter and shift points back to stock. My car shifts at 6200 RPM with the Superchips settings, and it's obvious when you drive it that the setting needs to be more like 5800-6000.
