I have the flashpaq in my 6 spd 07. I noticed enough gain from it to make me wish I'd bought one a lot sooner.

I just went from a procal to a traildash on a 08 6-speed

I didn't expect to notice a different but throttle response is certainly better and I haven't even tried the 92 tune yet. Procal is a great tool and I think is really all most people need.

Flashpaq is great if you really want to get the most out of the computer and drive it hard. Traildash is good if you want to blow some cash.. it was an impulse buy with a commission cheque.. I really do like it but I could have spent the money smarter.. I was able to sell my procal for almost what I paid for it.

Now my experiences are with a 6-speed. With an auto I'd think Flashpaq is certainly worth the extra cash but don't have first hand experience to validate that point.

If you search, you'll find tons of responses from people saying Superchips makes a noticeable difference and are very happy with it. I have an '09 auto on 35's, 3.73 gears, and I can't tell a difference at all. To me it did nothing in terms of hp gains. I just don't feel it. It could be that my butt dyno is broken. I did, however, notice a 2-3 mpg drop on 91 tune over the 87 tune. So with that said, I feel like I wasted my money on it. I bought an Aeroforce gauge to try that instead, and to confirm my findings. If it will still be the same with Aeroforce, then I'll get rid of the Superchips in a heart beat.

Oh yeah, and that stupid thing (Superchips Vivid Linq) doesn't show the promised auto tranny temp. Superchips support was clueless and just shrugged it off by saying it's a problem with my Jeep, not their dumb PID reader.

It is worth it IMO, especially on automatics. I have a Superchips Vivid and it definitely has helped with the performance. Its not a huge gain though, but better throttle sensitivity and fuel economy. I wouldn't hesitate to pick one up

installed mine tonight on 87 tune (since my tank was half full). I noticed a possible slight improvement on the street but nothing like night and day. I'll get some highway pulls in tomorrow, and when the fuel runs out try to 91 tune.

I have a 6spd btw
