Seems that only the Superchip has this problem. I've run PSP and Swanson and have never had that problem. If I recall, superchip has had this happen since the R7 if not earlier.

Seems like we always get that it only happens to "a hand full of our customers" response from them. Seems more wide spread than that.

Superchips: Set the rev limiter higher so people don't hit it. Easy fix IMHO.

or get a PSP or Swanson chip............

Actually this is not just a Superchip problem. I had this happen to me on Sunday and I am running a Swanson chip.

Have heard of this concern with other chips also. Here in Houston the HALO Members have a number of different chips and all disconect boost solonoid for the same problem. Steve

My $.02 worth.

If my Superchip R9 makes me lose one race because of tires spinning on the 1-2 up shift and dropping boost at the track then "I'm not happy"(1 out of 5 runs to date). And removing a safety device (disconnect the connector) is not something I want to perform right now. Its funny Mike also told me "I was the only person to report this problem?".

Let me say I like Mike he's very helpful, but you still have to remember he's also a salesman for Superchip. I have worked in Customer Service for many years at a large Electronic Manufacture and sometimes your products were not close to 100% when they leave the door. And dealing with software you'll never be 100% with everybody system.
But Superchip will correct this problem maybe in a later release, and should take care of those of us with boost dumping.

P.S. It my work, usually your Customer service phone calls aren't calls of phrase, but to complain about something wrong. Let's just say sometimes you have to stretch the truth when dealing with a customer. You might say something like "Engineering is working on your complaint as we speak" or " Strange your the only one to report this problem?".

Thanks again for my $.02 worth.

Dave
