I still have the 3.21 gears too but the bigger tires arent gonna make a difference, im running the stock 255/70/18's and its as bad or worse I would assume than when running smaller tires.

Ugh!!!!! Trying to get an update on when the 2010's will be supported and Superchips can't even estimate if it will be out in the next 30 days! I was thinking of picking up the Max Energy for now to help me with some mpg improvements, sepeedometer adjustments, etc.. and then possibly return it (due to their generous return policy) when the Fashpaq support came out.

Confused as to what to do. The above info on timing came from Ron over at the Superchips forum today so I would assume he is not hearing positive things from their engineers right now. Wonder what is taking so long?!

With my luck, however, they will release support 31 days after I buy the Hypertech!

Well, Ive been running the 87 tune for a few months now and I guess I got used to the extra bit of pep in the motor.
I had to change back to stock for the J30 dealer recall earlier this week.....man it sucked!
I noticed a big decrease when back at stock ( shift points, acceleration/ throttle lag, bit less mpg )
I have to say I couldnt wait for the week end to change back to the flashpaq programme, so the very minute I got back from the dealer, the 87 tune went back in!

Got my flashpaq installed today and what a difference! I have it set at the 87 tune and it definitely changed how the Jeep drives. My question is, how many users of the flashpaq use the tow tune as a everyday driver? I've read that some like driving the tow tune better??? Any input? Does it shift better? Better mpg? I'm running 35's and 513 gears on a 4 door. I also have heavy bumpers and winch and heavy arse sliders. Can anyone chime in?

Not sure if this has been covered in this entire thread or not. But I decided to run 89 octane on my 87 tune. My JK drives much better. Before it seemed excessively sluggish at lower rpm (>2000rpm). I shift at low rpm (stick) and would also get a shutter in some gears. All of it seems gone with the 89 octane. Drives much better. I have heard it pinging plenty of times in the past on 87 octane which is why I decided the 89. Feels like I gained 10 ft/lbs or so on the low rpm range, where I drive around town most.

Very happy with the fuel change so far..

Yup, ping is gone. I did the same thing about 3 weeks ago
