My 08 has 32/1050's, a 6-speed, and extra weight from winch, packed rear cargo space, bumpers, etc.
It's also my DD.
I adjusted for tire size, moderate throttle response and mileage.
Just the middle throttle response makes a big difference when I need it (no lag), but it's a Jeep, not a Mustang.
(PS I live well east of the Appalachians)

Whats the best settings for a daily driver. I'm on a main road, traffic goes anywhere from 45-65. I was in the advanced settings and saw a number of things. Stuff from the transmission to spark advance and yada yada yada. You all know what they are. I wanna have more passing power and better throttle response. I thought of putting it on the tow tune for better lower end performance.
As for the Transmission stuff, you really need to start off with the Superchips settings and then bump from there. They have a couple additional presets, find one that's closer to your liking then if necessary make manual adjustments.

Most prefer the Tow Tune or the 91 octane setting. Note that the tow tune requires 91 or better octane. That's really all you need to worry about until you have some miles under your belt.

I just downloaded my 87 octane tune at sea level and can tell you, I wouldn't have needed to put a turbo muffler to hear my RPMs to avoid stalling all the time if I had this first. The pedal response is perfect, the power starts at 1200 RPM if I step off the clutch in first with no gas and floor it after its walking away!
Love it. 4.88s, 32s, 6m trans. It actually feels quick now, gears did about 80% IMO, tune polished it up nicely. NO complaints, shoulda been delivered this way. Can't tell its a drive by wire now. Perfect.

You have to get on superchips website and download the ez updater program, but you must vin lock your programer to your jeep. Go program your jeep for a tune. The initial setup for me when i first uploaded a program it went through a bunch of dings and bells and whistles, then i programmed for the 91 tune. Went in and set up the ez updater program i downloaded off superchips website. Hooked up the programmer to the computer and it did an update. It took a few times of logging in and hooking up the programmer to the computer for the upgrades to show up. But at the bottom of the program there will be an upgrade. You can select what you want and put it in your cart. Select the TPMS offroad upgrade and download it in your programmer, go back out to the jeep and you'll have to go to advanced options and it should be in the programmer as TPMS Offroad which turns the TPMS sensors completely off. Hope that helps. I was a little confused with it at first but its pretty easy once you figure it out.
