Superchips Flashpaq for JK, Initial Impressions
I think that something obvious is being overlooked on the SuperChip ...even on their site the tunes are made for the octane requirement of your engine and I thought the JK required 87? Not sure changing to a higher octane would help since the engine does not require it? Someone here will have a good idea though!
With my 35's MTRs if I drive easy on the freeway and stay under 75 I can get 20MPg!
Without superchip, the best I was getting was 17.
In no way did I see mine go down, and yes more power. For the cost it's the most power increase you can get for $300.
Plus I was able to correct my speedo, and has an awesome off-road tune.
Also don't use the build in MPG, and wait a few tanks to take out the variables.

Bought a flashpaq, updated and installed the 87 octane program. My MPG's on the hwy at 65mph dropped from 24MPG to 18MPG. WOW. I did have a little more power but not much. So... I installed the millage xs program. Drove to work this morning and I am getting 23MPG -1 from stock and there is no power change from stock to millage xs so I don't get it. I though this was supposed to increase MPG's by a few not drop them in the saver modes? Anyone have this happen to them?
As for my results, they are pending. I just got mine and have played with it a bit. My initial results look like an improvement in mpg from 14 to 16.5. I have been running advanced tunes with mileage xs and tweaking shift points as well. I need to be a little more systematic about my approach and try to run a single setting for a while and then gauge the outcome.
I will say that I am impressed by the driveability improvements though. I look forward to playing with the more performance-based tunes instead of the economy-based mileage xs tune.
I'll be back.
This thread has almost 200 pages so please forgive me if this has been covered... What i am wanting to know about is the add on ability to tune the auto trans on my 08 Sahara. I am specifically wondering about the ability to tune the shifting into and out of OD while driving at partial throttle. It seems like you have to bury the pedal at Hwy speeds to get it to downshift. Can you adjust this with the tuner?

I have a 6 speed, so I really haven't kept up with it all that much on the JK, but definitely a great addition for the Ram crowd and certainly for the JKers that have taken advantage of it.
I'd be interested in being able to tweak the OD on my '09 Sahara as well. That switching in and out of OD is maddening with my 3.73 gears. I don't think re-gearing is in my near future since I have lifetime power train warranty. I sure wouldn't be disappointed if the Superchip ended up being my end-all-be-all solution.
Maybe I'll call them and inquire about the trans package. Hmmmmm?

I just bought a Superchip but can't get it to update on the computer. I have talked and emailed SC and talked to tech support and have tried all things. Turned of firewalls/Antivirus/wireless router.
Any ideas?
