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!

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.

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.

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.
