I just checked their web site - www.superchips.com. It is still up and running. Try ordering direct from them tomorrow.

That would really suck if they went out of business....

I think there's a little confusion here... I believe there are two "Superchip" companies. The one you mentioned going out of business is not the same one that people on this site are getting their chips from. If I remember correctly, there was a post last week that cleared this up. Do a search for it.

There are two different companies. ADS is the one that went out of business. Here's a pasted reply that I did in a similar thread about a week or so ago:

Thanks for the information. Keep in mind, however, that ADS (Automotive Digital Systems, Inc.) is the maker of the ADS Super Chip which is not the same as SuperChips Inc. Two different companies with two different products.
Those with the blue metal encased chip that plugs into the back of the car's computer have the product from SuperChips Inc, which is still in business. I haven't seen an ADS chip in person, but it appears from their web site that they are red. The similar names has brought confusion to the industry, I'd say.

Also, the one that went out of business has its own website, www.superchip.com.

Indeed, the one that went out of business is www.superchip.com . The one that is still in business is www.superchips.com . Note the "S" on the end of superchips. This can be confusing.

thanks everyone for the info. this is good news for me , guess i can order my chip now.
Hey, anybody purchased a high-flow mass air sensor, if so does it give noticiable gains and if i get one should i get it before the chip or does it matter. I heard that they might have to program it different for more air, is this true?
