Not too sure on this. Do they do the programmer for Vortech? I just got into a PCM on a Vortech tuned car.

Well, if you have a MicroTuner then you have SuperChips. If you don't, then who knows????

I don't have a microtuner, but the program was downloaded over the web.

I guess I just have the first report of a locked Superchips pcm.

My Superchips is not locked. I just got the edit and took a look yesterday. It was a new program for the new 422 and they made a couple of changes already, but it is still not right. I got another change comming from them, but I think I will just start fine tuning it myself instead of waiting for them to get it right.
