Unlock your Diesel’s Performance Potential with Superchips New Flashpaq!
A programmer is the secret to unlocking the performance potential of your diesel truck. Superchips Flashpaq is an easy purchase choice when you compare horsepower improvements and ease of installation to common under hood upgrades. Installing the Flashpaq is easy. Plug it into the diagnostic plug under your dash, select your options, and about 10 minutes later you’re done optimizing the performance of your diesel truck.
Part number SC1855 is for the Ford 7.3L, 6.4L or 6.0L Power Stroke F-Series trucks or Excursion SUV. Using the performance tune, Flashpaq delivers up to 114 horsepower and 206 lb-ft torque of power.
Part number SC2855 is for the GM 6.6L Duramax 2500 and 3500 series trucks. Using the performance tune, Flashpaq delivers up to 119 horsepower and 206 lb-ft torque of power.
Part number SC3855 is for the Dodge 6.7L or 5.9L Cummins Ram trucks. Using the performance tune, Flashpaq delivers up to 130 horsepower and 240 lb-ft torque of power.
Superchips does a variety of testing to ensure that you’ll get maximum power without compromising driveline durability. Every tune is dynamometer validated for power to the rear wheels, not the flywheel. One of the most important measurements used in testing is Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT). This is especially critical in turbo diesel applications. Tuning with EGT in mind will lead to impressive power without jeopardizing the longevity of your engine.
For users looking for towing power, Flashpaq optimizes your engine and transmission settings for towing up to OEM recommended weight limits. Superchips comprehensive approach to engineering for towing power targets these key areas: fuel injection and ignition, throttle position optimization, boost/VGT (variable gain turbo), transmission shifting and torque converter strategies. These areas are tuned across the entire RPM band to deliver a powerful, yet reliable towing experience.
Superchips can also deliver fuel savings and the ability to switch back and forth as much as you want. Superchips goal when it comes to improving power and fuel economy, is to provide optimal towing power while reducing cost of ownership. Superchips completed a year long real world study with the assistance of Richard Petty Driving Experience to answer that question. Superchips validated they deliver towing power and fuel economy. RPDE drove a portion of its diesel pickup truck fleet over 140,000 miles towing a 40-foot trailer with a weight of 13,500 pounds. They saved almost 20% in fuel during the test and they continue to use the product today.
Additional features of Flashpaq include transmission tuning settings for improved drivability and enhanced shift firmness, raised speed limiter and read and clear trouble codes. All Superchips products are available for purchase on Orange County Diesel’s online store.

Trinity T-1000 from DiabloSport
1. Virtual Gauge Monitor
The Trinity T-1000 from DiabloSport is one of the most advanced diagnostic tuning devices on the market today. With over 100MB of on board memory devoted solely to recording and playing back diagnostic PID/DMR data, it allows users to record hours and hours of continuous data streams directly from the vehicle’s PCM/ECM.
The Trinity interprets PID and DMR data received from the OBD-II Diagnostic port on your vehicle and converts it into a readable format: A Virtual Gauge! Individual user customization is one of Trinitys most recognizable features.
2. Performance Programmer
The Trinitys tuning options vary depending on the vehicle that is being tuned. Gasoline powered vehicles feature tunes based on minimum octane ratings while Diesels are based on Horse Power Ratings.
Diesel Tuning: Diesel trucks have massive horsepower and torque potential that can be unlocked just by programming the vehicle’s PCM or Powertrain Control Module. Your application may have tunes for any of the following, plus more!
Towing: This setting is generally a of 40-60 HP and an average of 100 Ft/Lbs of torque (depending on application) and is for use when towing heavy loads near the applications factory towing capacity. This setting is designed to increase drivability while towing, net extra economy when cruising at highway speeds, and is helpful when driving through mountains while towing.
Economy: Adds between 60-100 HP and 180-200 Ft/Lbs of Torque, economy gains average in the 2-3 MPG range (Highway)! This setting is not designed for heavy towing- limits are in the range of 6,000-8,000 pounds depending on your vehicle’s stock towing capacity. DiabloSport highly recommends the use of an aftermarket cold air intake and exhaust (4 inch diameter at the down pipe).
Extreme: This tune adds anywhere from 100-185 horsepower and 220+ Ft/Lbs of torque and is specifically for peeling out down the strip! DiabloSport recommends only using the extreme tuning options if you have an exhaust and cold air intake due to a possible increase in EGT.
3. Diagnostic Code Reader
Trinity can also be used as a diagnostic code reader. Save yourself hundreds of dollars each year reading/clearing your own computer codes rather than paying a dealer to do the same. Its as easy as a few simple steps.
Step 1: From the main menu of the Trinity select “Diagnostics” Select “Show Trouble Codes” to show the last trouble codes your vehicles PCM displayed.
Step 2: Press the desired trouble code to see a full text description of that code.
Step 3: Once you have seen the trouble codes listed in your vehicles computer, you will want to clear them. In order to do this, press the back button on the right hand side of your Trinity’s screen and select “Clear Trouble Codes” from the trouble codes menu. The Trinity will then display that the faults have been cleared! Press continue…
Step 4: You have now cleared all trouble codes from your vehicles computer!

Quadzilla Boost Fooler for Dodge Cummins 5.9L and 6.7L Trucks
If you are towing heavy loads, using a downloader/programmer or if you are just running modified injectors on your 1998.5-2009 5.9L or 6.7L Dodge Cummins, then the Quadzilla Boost Fooler is a MUST HAVE PRODUCT! On the 6.7L this product is a MUSY HAVE to go with ANY electronic performance device including the plug in devices!
While programmers can definitely improve performance, there are still things that they cannot do to allow you to gain optimal power and efficiency out of your engine. The Boost Fooler will allow you to increase turbo boost to compensate for the added fueling modifications you have made. Enabling your turbo to produce more boost will increase overall horsepower and torque and you will lower your exhaust temperatures.
The Boost Fooler is even a great enhancement for a stock truck that hauls heavy loads and needs exhaust temperature reduction. Even on a stock truck you can easily gain 5-8psi of boost pressure to help cool your EGTs. You will also see a slight improvement in peak horsepower.
The Quadzilla Boost Fooler uses a specialized high impedance circuit to allow you to make more turbo boost without setting any ECU error codes. The Boost Fooler is 100% weatherproof and designed for simple under-the-hood installation.
So what can you expect?
On any year model Dodge, you will be able to make as much turbo boost as possible with your fueling modifications. It is important to notice that the stock turbos do have some limitations.
If you desire extreme levels of turbo boost, you may need a larger, aftermarket turbocharger. Horsepower gains will vary from 10hp on a stock truck up to 50hp on heavily modified trucks. EGT reductions will vary from 75°F on a stock truck and up to 300°F on heavily modified trucks.
1998.5-2004 5.9L Cummins
On 1998.5-2004 5.9L Cummins you will need to physically modify your wastegate to gain more turbo boost. Doing this without the Boost Fooler will result in check engine lights and codes set into the computer. Stock 98-04 trucks should generate 18-23psi of boost pressure stock (depending on year model). With the Boost Fooler you will be able to run 35+ psi of boost depending on your fueling enhancements.
2004.5-2007 5.9L Cummins “600” and “610” Series Engines
The 2004.5-2007 5.9L Cummins uses an electronic wastegate which is operated off of the MAP sensor. In this instance no modifications to your turbo will be necessary. Stock 04.5-07 trucks typically spike up to 32psi of boost pressure. With the Boost Fooler you will see up to 40psi of boost on a stock truck and up to 48psi of boost on heavily fueled trucks.
2007.5-2009 6.7L Cummins
For the new 6.7L we have yet another new turbo design. This turbo uses electronically controlled vanes inside the turbo to adjust boost levels and allow for quicker spool up and ability to precisely control EGT’s. With the Boost Fooler installed you will see drops of 125 degrees on a stock truck (considerably more on modified trucks), up to 10psi peak boost gain and 6-8 psi sustained boost gain. This is the ONLY product on the market that is plug-and-play. There is no cutting, no splicing and no guessing. Simply plug this device in enjoy it!
All of these products can help increase the life of your engine by lowering peak exhaust temperatures while also giving you a small boost in power to go with it!
