SuperChips can't tune 2011+, AFAIK.

Cool, you've got options. IIRC, in 2011, JKs started coming with encrypted PCMs, and I don't think anyone's come up with a tuner that works with them.

I've never seen an actual "chip" for JKs. Instead, you buy a tuner (that plugs into the OBDII port) that can retune the engine and automatic transmission.

Common names are SuperChips, Diablo, and BullyDog. There may be others. You may also see AEV ProCal mentioned, but fwiw, that's not a tuner. It lets you change your tire size, gear size, and enable/disable a few options, but it doesn't retune the engine/transmission at all.

If you don't get more action in this thread, just search the existing threads for those products and I'm sure you'll come up with a ton of info.

Ive got the Hypertech Max Energy Power Programmer and I'm 100% satisfied. I wasn't expecting much but I cannot drive the JK without it now.

Ditto for me too.
