Perhaps even better, I can set mine back to stock and you can program yours for a brief run and take me for a ride. However you want to roll is fine by me.

Send me a PM!

Default TPMS for '08?

Hi Everyone,

I thought I read that Superchips included the ability to change the TPMS settings. But, I talked with someone who purchased the unit and doesn't have that capability.

Is this a feature that will be available via an update in the future?

Thanks

Jeff

I just hit the "checkout" button to buy mine from Northridge. Kind of hurt to pay $30 sales tax since I live in WA, but figured it was worth it since he is a forum supporter.

Anything I should know, or words of advice, before I start the install? Once I receive it, I'll probably be back on with questions for all of you.

Default To mash or not to mash, the skinny pedal

After having my Superchips Flashpaq installed for almost a week now, one of my initial impressions is how much I now have the choice either to mash the skinny pedal or not to mash it. Before, routine tasks like a green light turning to yellow and getting onto the interstate that is a 65 mph zone, simply required me to mash the skinny. Now I can simply press the skinny (not all the way down) and accomplish the same task. I really see it on the interstate, whereas before I really had to mash it to get up to speed and merge with traffic, yet now I can behave a bit more civilized (or not ).

I don't, or won't, know any fuel savings numbers during this tank full because I can't help but mash the skinny just for the fun of it. But is very nice to now have the option of when I mash it.

Yes.......I too seem to want to hit the "skinny" a bit more since I installed mine. Just taking off now and look down and see I'm already going over 60...and that's really not even hitting it hard at all. I know it's got more poop since it doesn't downshift now as much in the usual hilly areas. I can't give an honest mpg either as once you mash it to pass somebody, that pretty much blows the "good" mpgs away. BUT.....I do know for sure that I'm getting a bit better than 300 miles per tank.....and that's mashing it a few times. I'll try and keep my foot off of it and get a real mpg soon.

I just got mine today. I only put a couple miles on it. But I noticed right away the driveability was better.

For anyone else with a 6 speed... Did you notice a big difference in throttle tip-in? I over slipped the clutch the first couple times taking off because it seems like the throttle is more responsive right at tip-in.
