Default Superchip vs. AEV ProCal?

Just lifted my jeep (4 in") put new wheels and tires (35x12.5x18).

I need to recalibrate my my speedometer and set my new tires up. I know that both programmers will function the way that i need them to. HOWEVER, is it worth the $175+ for the superchip???

Thanks in advance...

Do you want performance tuning? Or just a programmer to reset your speedo?

If you had gears and/or a freeflow exhaust and/or CAI, I would definetely recommend the Superchips. With stock engine and stock gears, Procal is the better option in my opinion. Without gears the benefits are not as noticeable. Either way they both are awesome products!

Either will work fine. If all you want is to reprogram, get the ProCal. If you want performance tuning also, get the Flashpaq.

in my opinion, yes, it is worth the extra cash. among other things, it will help you to give your jeep a boost in power.
