Default Superchips Flashpaq

Hi, I'm looking to buy a superchips flashpaq and I was just wondering, other than setting idle power and that kind of stuff, about how much does it gain in terms of torque, horsepower, and MPG? I'm currently getting 12 mpg and I'm hoping to get to around 14 MPG. Thanks for the help

I have noticed an increase in power and torque from using the flashpaq, and maybe a slight increase in mpg on 87 tune and mileage xs, but i've been fighting an oil leak and a leaking valve stem on a tire so i have to get everything steady before i can clearly judge on fuel economy.

Ok, so would I be better off just getting an aeroforce interceptor gauge that allows you to enter tire size to adjust and correct the speedometer and MPG readings along with giving many useful stats? Thanks

The chip does work and you can feel it, so unless that gauge can tune the engine too, i would still go superchip if you can find a cheap one.

Ok, that sounds like a good idea, and I like the idea of being able to read all the engine stats so maybe I'll just buy both

Go superchips! Rather have the power difference. And it's a pretty reliable company and they will work with you if you come across problems.

If you have an auto trans, the difference is very noticable partly because of the shift points & shift firmness. I went from the 87 to the 91 tune without telling my wife (it's her DD) and she came home wanting to know what I'd done to her Jeep.

I just got a Superchip and trying to decide on my settings. I have 35s, 4:10 gears with automatic transmission. What settings are you using?

Thanks.

I got the 3875 flashpaq. I can select performance, octane, shift schedule, etc.
