There was a write up in a Jeep magazine not too long ago. It outlined all the units and compared them. I'll see if I can find it.

I just ordered mine this afternoon. look at my sig and you'll see that I'm far from stock. I'm not expecting a drastic difference just be happy to get back to stock power (pathetic ain't it!) from all my research, it appears that the Superchips Flashpac is the best option out there.

I'm still up in the air about increased power, and think I only really saw obvious MPG gains when I tried the 91 tune for a few tanks. If there's one, single thing that you'll definitely feel - it's the shift points (you've got an auto, right?). For that one feature set - it's money well spent.

3. Throttle body spacer is a waste of money

Again, I think the consensus opinion is to put your money in these performance mods in this order; stop when you're satisfied or run out of money:

1. Superchips (~$300)
2. Regear ($1000-2000)
3. Supercharger (~$5K)
4. Hemi (~$15k-20k and up)

Things to keep an eye on: RIPP headers, Diablosport tuner

I have the Superchips Flashpaq and I love it. It made a huge difference for me. I have 35's on a 3" lift.

Hi,
I have a pretty standard auto Sahara and have got the Superchips...works great for me. In gear acceleration is better and low down pull is improved so can't complain..... getting a BB lift and 35's fitted soon so will see how it helps there.

Before Superchips came out I had the Hypertech. it did fine at the time, but after running the SC flashpaq i noticed a huge improvement in performance over the hypertech and also included more features. But now with the introduction of the RIPP headers it is not compatible with the Superchips. I dont want to spend money on another tuner (diablo) just to run the headers and dont want to un-install my SC either for the fact of losing the features. Does anyone know if the Hypertech programmer is compatible with the RIPP headers? thanks.

Installed Superchips in my 2010 JK Sport about a week ago and have definately felt an increase in power and have seen an impovement in mpg. Was getting 16.9 mpg before I had 33x12.5 wheels put on which dropped mpg to 15.9. Now getting 17.3 driving the same routs so I am very happy with the product.
