Ok, I'm happy to see some members have this working for their 2010 JKs! (albeit mostly automatics?)

I'm ready to buy as soon as my tax refund arrives.

I have a 2010 6-Speed Sport, only mod is a drop in AFE Pro Dry Performance Drop-In Air Filter, otherwise all else is stock, including tires and wheels

I’m looking for pure power gains using 87 Octane gas only, so I imagine I would use the 87 octane tune plus lower the fan temp to kick in at 186 (this would be good to do on a DD with occasional bumper to bumper Highway traffic or is this really only beneficial for slow crawling?)

I believe both of these would be accomplished via Advance Tune, right?
(I know, read the manual, tried to find one on the internet, no luck yet)

Is there something else to tune via Advance Tune?

This $300+ item does really look like its worth the bang for buck on a pretty much stock 6SP and looks to be the right choice for my first mod.

But I'm thinking the website claims of 18 HP and 24 Lb-FT TQ involve their most agressive advance tune using 93 Octane.

There is the possibility of adding a MBRP catback and Volant Cool Air Intake down the road, this should really wake up the JK.

Have any 2010 stock 6-sp Sport JK owners tuned your JEEP yet, and if so, thoughts pro and con?

Thanks in advance.

 

You don't want to set your fan on temperature below 20 degrees above your thermostat. So with the stock 195 thermostat fan on temperature would be 215 degrees. Setting it lower will result in throwing codes for an open fan relay.

If you do pick up a lower temp thermostat, I have a 180 for the summer, you don't want to use it in the winter. When the ambient air temperature is below 60 degrees, you will have a long wait hitting operating temperatures and that will limit performance and efficiency.

 

Excellent sir, thanks for the feedback

 

I don't have specific experience with the 2010's, but several people w/ 6-sp (including me) have an ongoing problem with an idle surge. It makes the mileage tune just about unusable. 87 tune works better, but I still get alot of surging in parking lots and gas stations. Superchips hasn't been able to address this problem yet.

 

I would wait for the throttle response update (in development) since it's really sensitve with the manuals.

 

I have a 6 speed and do not have this issue. I spoke with Ron at Superchips and he said they have addressed this issue on an individual basis, creating custom throttle maps.

So if you do experience this issue you should have an open support case and be receiving new calibrations until they have it sorted out to your tastes.

 

I always read that they were going to update the whole tune, rather than case by case. My JK lurches at low parking lot speeds. But am concerned they'll put a 'dead spot' in the throttle to make up for it. Guess I'll just see if it's worth it to me.

 

I think that's exactly it. What one might feel is an improvement, someone else might not like it. That's why they have taken the route they have, and ultimately determined that it needs to be a user variable selection. At the same time, if someone has an individual issue, they'll remap the throttle response for them. Myself, I'm fine with it and thought it was an improvement over how it was originally mapped.

This whole thing came about as a result of the crawl tune and through the beta testers results. So they already had most of the work already done. Now they have feedback from a variety of users, and in the end decided a one size fits all solution wasn't appropriate. What we'll end up with is a more robust product, and an extra added feature for the cost of a download.

 

I agree, what are your thoughts on the crawl tune with the manual? I tried it last November when I was 'testing' a tuner and couldn't stand it. I lost my ability to 'crawl' up with most stuff with just the clutch. I haven't tried it since then however.

 

On the crawl tune, and it's been a little while since I've employed it was a little flat at part throttle and a little steep at closer to WOT. I do think that any of these types of changes take a while to get used to, especially when you have so many miles on a vehicle with the same throttle response. I'm sure I could get used to any of them it's just getting the brain and foot in sync.
