Superchips Flashpaq seems to be the one everyone uses around here.

AEV Procal also has good reviews if you're just looking to change tire size and other settings. No engine/ transmission tunes.

Out of all the stuff I bought for my Jeep, Superchips (VIVID LINQ) was the worst and something I regret. It does fine for adjusting the speedo, disabling TPMS, etc, but performance features don't do anything. Maybe if you run the 91 tune and pull a WOT, then maybe, just maybe you'll start imagining some sort of a slight performance improvement. But who here runs WOT or the expensive 91 octange gas all day? Waste of money. Also, the transmission temp PID which I wanted to monitor, didn't work at all, and the Superchips support was completely clueless and worthless. Also, some say they gain MPG with it. This is completely untrue and unfounded. They simply readjust their speedo and get a more accurate MPG calculation out of their computer. I ran it with stock tires, I know. Anyways, $350 well wasted.

I then bought the Aerofoce Scangauge, and love it! It's not as shiny and fancy as the Superchips, but it gives me the transmission temperature, and many more PID's that Superchips can't even touch. I haven't tried adjusting the speedo with it, but will as soon as I get around to it. Maybe then I can get rid of that worthless Superchips snake oil.

If you don't care about monitoring PID's, then go with Procal. But I strongly recommend you get something that monitors PID's as it will help you diagnose problems with your Jeep and understand its operation better. The Aeroforce can display 2 PID's at a time, so I always have my coolant and tranny temp on display. This is super useful when off roading - you'd be surprised how easy it is to overheat, even with a tranny cooler.

Superchips traildash. Very happy with mine. Only downside it takes 10-20 minutes to change the tune.

Big fan of SuperChips. I run 87 tune with 89 octane gas most of the time with nice results.
