That’s great ! If I’m all setup to go sd2 and only have to buy the chip what’s the advantage of sportsman. True speed density ?Leaning sd2 because I’m all set other than the chip.
There is a bunch of us who had the SD2 and went with the Sportsman. I personally had issues with keeping the powerlogger seated to the motherboard in the factory ECM. When this happens usually the car just stops running and you lose some of your parameter values/settings or the car runs horrible and you have to get off the road before it dies. I’m not bad mouthing that product and I have great respect for Bob and Eric. I have a driver, I personally put 141,000+ miles on my car since 1984 so if you don’t drive your car much or do 8 hour road trips you may not have any issues. It’s a personal decision, good luck! I love my Buick again with the FAST Sportsman, thanks to Cal Hartline and the engineers at FAST!
On a different subject I meet with my Harley Davidson riding friends every Wednesday for dinner a guys night out. Usually about (4) of us get together. Well last night my friend Matt asked for a ride in the GN with it being winter in PA I have street tires on the car. He was completely surprised as I talked the baby V-6 performance down. I did one hit at 30# boost from a 40 mph roll and broke the tires loose instantly so I lifted and put it back to the floor with manageable amount of loss traction. He was in disbelief, so a bit later going up a small hill I slam the throttle for perhaps a second and the tires roasted again and I hear him say holly shit as he is reaching for the dash of course he doesn’t touch anything. As we are parking the car he is asking about all the views on the edash the alky box, the electric dump... just then our other friend Dave rolls in so we get out of the car walking toward the club and Matt was holding his chest (like he’s having a heart attack) telling our friend Dave something to the effect you can’t believe the power of Chuck’s car.... Dave owns a bunch of nice cars and he had his stock 14 Cadillac V with the factory supercharger, he told Matt that he knows all about what the Buick V-6 Turbo is capable of. Dave and I have known each other since 10th grade in high school we have worked together as machinists several times. Anyway it was a great night and the Buick just made it better....sorry for the long response. Honestly if you just need the chip you can go that route for the least amount of cash output, but the first time you have flaky issues with you values changing for no reason your going to need to pull your computer and reseat the power logger. You will get real good at disassembling the ECM, cleaning off the old adhesive putting new picture frame two face tape down (double them for a more parallel fit) and reassembling the ECM and installing it back into the kick panel. In fact I bought a second powerlogger and ECM (used) to always have a backup ready to drop in on the road, just swap the chips over and recheck all your parameters.
