Default superchips

I'm thinking about getting a superchip for my 2011 jk unlimited. Is it worth it? Does it make a big difference? Can I disable the tire pressure monitoring system with it? Is there something someone recommends more?

A quick search will bring up hundreds and hundreds of pages of Flashpaq feedback. Yes, it will disable tpms. There are other tuners on the market, but none have quite the following of the superchips. Worth it? Since you can't use it, I'd say no.

Saw a post last week indicating the the procal works on the '11's, so that may be an option if you don't want to wait.

Unless you have new gears or bigger tires, I wouldn't bother. The performance gain is minimal and no big change in fuel economy. I'd save that $300 for something else. IMO

I got the aev procal because no one makes anything for 2011. It will do just about anything you need except perforce tune. Best money spent do far

I heard the superchips will let you adjust the tire pressure settings and speedo for tires on the 2011s. I just traded in my 2010 for a 2011 so I will try it soon but haven't yet (had one on my 2010). I wouldn't spend the money just for those options but if they get it fully going again, it is well worth it (on auto).
