So of all the different ones out there which one would be best for me. I have an Auto with 295's tires. When they ware out I'll go with 35's. So I guess I need something to change the tire size,shift points,calibrate the speedo. Any help would be great.

The Superchips has a far larger feature set than any of the other programmers in this market. There are quite a few people here who have the Hypertech as it was the first programmer for this platform which has a limited but covering the major bases feature set. Owning both the Superchips and the Hypertech it's pretty clear which one worked better for me although Hypertech has stated my modifications (headers) are outside their feature set and tunes.

What does the Superchip and Hypertech do that the AEV doesnt? Im a little confused on this one. Plus I was told by a 4WD shop to just get the AEV because youre not really gonna get much outta the JK engine anyway.

The Superchips Flashpaq has provided me with a definitive upgrade in performance. I'm not totally sure of what all the ProCal offers but here is some of the unique features of the Superchips, and additionally the performance settings.

• Low throttle response for Crawling (I haven't been able to find it yet, but it is supposed to be there)
• 4HI locking axle control
• Speedo correction for third party transfer case gears and replacement transfer cases
• 87 Octane Tune
• 91 Octane Tune
• 93 Octane Tune
• Towing Tune
• Mileage XS Tune
• Real time display for sensors and time and distance data logging
• Adjustable shift points

Really two totally different products and if you really just want to deal with Speedo correction and the TPMS issues the ProCal is probably the right product for you. If you want some additional performance out of the underpowered JK then you should certainly take a look at the Superchips and competitors.

I wouldn't mind a low throttle response for crawling. That skinny pedal is damn touchy.
