Default Is anyone else 'stacking' programmers?

I kind of jumped into the JK wrangler scene back in March. I quickly got myself some 35s, and wanted a tuner. I was originally worried about hurting my warranty. SO I ended up buying the AEV Procal to fix the odometer. I ended up getting a deal on a Superchips Flashpaq when they came out, and I run them both together. I didn't feel like trying to figure out how to set the tire size for the Flashpaq. (Honeslty, I haven't even read up on it) Plus the length of time messing with the Flashpaq is pretty ridiculous. But, I just wanted to let yall know u can run them together.

Also, a little heads up...I drove 650 miles last night. Using the Mileage XS tune above 75 is useless. You can get better gas mileage using the 87OCT tune... I got 50 more miles per tank. However, driving closer to 65, the Mileage XS tune works better.

Sounds more like an informational thread, what it needs is a Poll!

I use both the Procal and the Hypertech. I use the Hypertech Premium tuning and the Procal for everything else, no problems so far. Took the Jk to the dealer yesterday to order the hood latches ( i know i am behind the curve) and the tech guys were crawling all over it, I could have sold 5 Procals had I had some.

wow... I surprised you can do this. I would figure there might be some kind of communication problems between the ECU and which ever programmer you use last.

Not really, I am not using two seperate "tuning" programs. I use the "tuning" program from the Hypertech and I use the Procal for everything else....tire size, TPMS, DRL, etc. They really dont overlap at all and only change those specific features. Now I doubt using two "tuning" programs would work, most likley the last one entered would overwrite the first.
