Jeep 3.8L JK Wrangler Tuning Releasing March 8th
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning Levels:
· Off Road: A tune that behaves like the regular tune but has lowered throttle sensitivity. A lowered throttle sensitivity gives the driver more control over the power they are putting to the ground. In rough conditions a sensitive throttle can be dangerous.
· Regular/ Tow Tune: Great for everyday driving and light towing, will add a little over 10 hp to the wheels at full throttle.
· Premium: 91 octane fuel or better. Could see 15 to 20hp.
Download Features: features only available by downloading.
· Speed Limiter: Adjust from 45mph to 200mph.
· Rev Limiter in Drive: Adjust from 5000 rpm to 6500 rpm.
· Rev Limiter in Neutral: Adjust from 5000 rpm to 5700 rpm.
· Calibrate Speedometer: Adjust from a tire size of 23.2" up to 45.5".
Special Features: These features can be used with or without installing a download.
· Engine Fan: Turn the engine fan on or off.
· IDLE Up: Change engine idle when in park or neutral.
· TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system): Air down to under 10 PSI without a light.
· Disable Traction Control: Completely disable traction control, great for off road.
· Sway Bar Disconnect: (Rubicon only) Disconnect the sway bar up to 30 mph automatically, there is no physical installation required.
· Lockers: (Rubicon only) Engage lockers in 2wd 4wHi and 4wLow, this feature is recommended for those who know how lockers work.

I doubt that you will see 15-20 hp out of it, that's up to ~10% gain. I don' think my superchips does that.
I would, however, like to see some real world feedback on this. It looks more usefull than the superchips as it not only adjusts the tune but gives real time feed back. Someone buy one and let me know!

I really like what this has to offer. I will definitely consider getting one of these. Looks like they are $299. That's the price that the Superchips Vivid should be sold at. Not a ridiculous $699.

A new option would be great, but:
$300 for a gauge that does nothing more than monitor your current stats?
Tuning (and all of those other functions?) has not been released 'yet'. Will it be released on schedule? Will it work for all model years? Will it be included, or will you need to pay more for it?
No TPMS Disable. You can lower the threshhold, but can't turn the light off?
Speedo calibration is a download. So you have to pay more for this very basic function?
