Cool Newbie needs some performance help!

Ok so I am not a newbie to jeeps, but I am new to the JKforum. I was wondering if anyone could give me an opinion on a few things... I'm running my 09 with a CAI, Straight pipes after cats, lame little throttle body spacer, and high performance distributor and wires with plugs gapped to .065. I also have a SC flashpaq, it was one of my first upgrades for my jeep. However, after reading a few threads, I switched back to stock settings after the hotter ignition. Anyone have an idea if its safe to run all these mods with a flashpaq programming. Would a performance setting cause any damage with multiple mods? Generals thoughts? My main concern is knocking or a decrease in power/economy with using the flashpaq with multiple mods

Also, I am on 33 extreme all-terrains with a 2.5" lift and teraflex arms (FYI :P

From what I understand per Superchips, you should be golden with the intake and exhaust. Apparently they're designed to work well with both those mods. As far as the ignition goes, not sure what to tell you there. I would suggest giving Superchips a call and laying out exactly what you have and they could probably tell you which tune would work best for you. My experience with them has been excellent. Great folks to deal with and very helpful

I would just run it and see if you experience any detonation. It would hurt to call SC directly and ask them as well
