Default Another Superchips Thread.... Sorry!!

Just got my Superchips today.. Everything updated through Windows 7 without a hitch and the install on the JK was extremely easy.. Now, how should I program it for optimum gas mileage/ performance on my daily driver? Right now I have it set for 87 octane tune, 33" in. tires, and Superchips pedal response.. I can feel the difference in the shiftpoints and a bit of a power gain already.. Does anyone have any tips for me? As stated I have 33" in. tires and stock 3.73 gears.. Any thoughts guys? What's worked for you?

I really like the fuel saver xl mode. I've got 34's and I get great mileage with it. For some reason, it feels like more power too, although I haven't updated mine for a while cuz I have a mac

Run a different program every couple of tanks until you find one that you really like. Personally I hated the econo mode and the 91 octane one only was slightly better than 87.

Tow tune. Feels like the best low end. Also it has the least spark knock under heavy load at low rpm. 87 and milage xl knocked like crazy with my stick when you lugged the jeep up things at low rpms.

I tried the 91, 93, 87, feul economy, and tow tune.
For me the best one is 91
93 was good but 91 sighlty better
87 was worse the stock LOL
tow didnt notice any defference
Fuel economy did help save fuel but i like speeding so no point using it LOL

But something interesting happened when iwas on the fuel economy...i was speeding and my my friend was driving behind me and saw back fire from my exhuast!!...only happend once though.
