I just went to 33 inch tires and can't afford to regear. I lost a lot of power doing this I have a 2010 jk sport with a 2.5 in lift. My budget is about 600 dollars. What can anyone suggest.

Superchip..... It will allow you to change from factory your settings, allowing you to compensate for the change in tire size and also allows more HP.

Superchip! It calibrates ur speedometer and I believe shif points. Since u have 33's it should help a good bit. I had 35's and it helped a little so with 33's it should be beter

Now it won't do anything for shift points because its a standard. Will superchips give a good amount of horse power gain?? Also your talking a programmer is one better than another?? Will will superchips allow me to adjust for regearing when I can afford it?? Lots of questions I know.

The spent booster from what I've looked at is just for throttle response isn't it??? I'm not lacking there. It's more highway driving with the 33's and the stock 3.21 gearing I can't use 6 gear much anymore.

JP mag did a review a while back, but I don't think Bully Dog was available. Superchips was slightly ahead of the pack for HP/torque gains. There were advantages to each model in features, so one might be willing to forgo a little power to gain a particularly desirable feature.
