Default Procal vs. Superchips

I'm rehearing tomorrow and am going to need one of these. Is the extra money for the Superchips really worth it? I have a '10, six speed and going to 4.10s on '33s. Will the tunes of the Superchips work with a manual transmission? Thanks in advance.

Default Superchips and Hypertech

Can't believe nobody chimed in yet. The Superchips website lists the Flashpaq and Jeep VIVID as both available for your 2010 with 6sp.
I've always liked Hypertech and their Max Energy and Speedometer Recalibrator are both availble for it but some features are listed as internet upgradable where Superchips doesn't say. Maybe Superchips includes them in first purchase idunno. Someone else may be able to shed more light there.
Anyway Lemmy know how you like that regear I'm very interested in how it changes the vehicle's attitude and feel.

Right, but other features that I like such as idle speed, low range throttle calibration, normal throttle calibration and some others that are important to me are not standard with the Flashpaq. That could affect the cost if they are important to someone else.

EDIT: I Didn't realize I hadn't directly answered the original question. My bad lol. Yes both recalibrate the speedo for gears and/or tires.

There really is no "versus" to be had here. They're two different modules. One is simply for recalibration necessitated by equipment adjustments, and the other changes/improves engine timings and throughput. If you don't plan on going beyond chipping, get the tuner. For 200 bucks more, you'll enjoy it long term.

Every feature mentioned here has long been available on a Flashpaq and way before brand h. Products shipping today have them all and Superchips has continually upgraded their product and all but the advanced trans tune is free of charge. Lots of people who have owned both as I have and ended up with Superchips.

If I were going to consider something else, it would be the Diablo because of the custom tune capabilities. If you don't plan on adding accessories such as long tube headers or a supercharger the out of the box tunes of the Diablo haven't built a following. Then with an automatic transmission, it's a Flashpaq hands down as no one else has a shift schedule package that is anywhere close.
