Just some more information about the ICON (Superchip):

>WHAT OUR CHIP DOES:
>What our chip does is advance the ignition timing based on using premium
>fuel only. By advancing timing in varying degrees from 1200 rpm's to
>redline, total engine output increases. Other chip companies product fools
>the computer into thinking the car is running cooler, or resort to
>requiring the use of a cooler thermostat to attempt to give you increased
>performance. Our programming is substantially more comprehensive. Instead
>of giving you increased performance at wide open throttle only, we give you
>performance you can feel throughout your driving experience and at any
>operating temperatures. Normal driving experiences do not require driving
>at wide open throttle. You will feel our power at part throttle from the
>stoplight to the expressway.
>WHAT SUPERCHIPS PROGRAM ACTUALLY DOES:
>FUEL
>We go in and change the program for the fuel curve. Some cars we have to
>richen the fuel mixture, and other cars we have to take away fuel to obtain
>optimum fuel mixtures, while some cars we have to do both for more power.
>In most cases, we often get feedback from customers seeing an increase in
>fuel mileage of 1-2 mpg. You will notice our power increase with better
>throttle response from a stoplight and increased passing power on the
>interstate. It only takes 10 hp to actually feel the increase in power by
>"the seat of the pants" and most of our power gains exceed that easily.
>TIMING ADVANCE
>The factory could have set your timing advance where we do, but they would
>have had many complaints from owners who run 87 octane fuel. By requiring
>you to run 91 octane or better, we can advance your timing for increased
>power, more torque, and quicker throttle response. Our power philosophy is
>built on the higher octane requirement and increased timing advance and you
>would need to run premium fuel after installing our chip.
>MODIFIED CARS
>We are one of the few companies that makes chips for vehicles that have
>been modified. Anytime you change your mass air meter, injectors, cams, or
>add a supercharger you will more than likely need a chip custom made for
>your vehicle. There is an extra charge for this. In most vehicles this
>costs $100.00 more.
>WARRANTY
>Our chips do not void the warranty as there is a law against such a thing
>unless the aftermarket product actually causes the problem.
>SPEED LIMITER
>While we can remove the speed limiter in many vehicles, we cannot do it on
>all cars. With your computer code we can tell whether or not we can remove
>your speed limiter. Not all cars and trucks have speed limiters.
>WHY OUR CHIP WORKS
>The timing advance increase adds power and torque at rpm ranges from just
>past idle to the maximum advance at 2,500 rpm's and beyond. By running
>premium fuel you unlock the potential your engine was engineered to
>produce. It is a plain simple fact that increasing the timing increases
>power, burns cleaner, and is more fuel efficient. The reason the
>manufacturers don't do this timing advance is the car wouldn't run very
>well if you were to use low octane fuel.
