Default Questions

Have done some searches on the forum and can't locate specifically what I am looking for. I have a Superchips and am looking for some info...

Throttle Response: I see stock, superchips and moderate. Which is the preferred? I was wondering which one is more sensitive between the Superchips and the Moderate?

Shift Schedule: I was looking for schedules that forum members have tried. The Superchips forum says that there are many on the JK-Forum but I can't find any.

Can any of ya'll point me in the right directopn please?

Thanks, take care!

Is it possible to use another person's flash pack to recalibrate my speedo?

No, they are VIN locked.

Default Question for JPop

I just put on a magnaflow exhaust and about to do the CAI. I am thinking about putting in hotter plugs and thicker wires. I have a 2011 and the superchip is still not out for me yet, but I am hearing that it may be out in Marh or April.

I was looking at the Banks CAI or should I go with something that seals itself a little better from the engine bay? I will not be doing any water crossings. I am actually using this Jeep as a work vehicle.

I am concerned about running lean. Will the programmer make up for that or is there a way to tune with the programmer that will not let it lean out? I want to run on 87 octane as well.

Also, any other mods that will help add a little more power? I read some where that running full synthetic in the transmission (I have manual 6sp), the transfer case and in both axles with help a little as well.

I am getting 17 mpg and looking for a little more power and mileage. I am realistic on the power increase, but anything will help at this point.

if your realistic about anything, don't do anything else to your jeep if you want the current mileage you're getting.

90% of the people dont get 17.

I will give up a little mileage to get a little more power. I am leaving the tires and everything else stock. I just have seen a little better mileage when I have done some of the same things I want to do to my Jeep to my F-150's. My problem is I have never had a v-6 like this. All I have messed with is v-8's.

I wouldn't change the heat range of the plugs unless I was addressing a specific issue. Hotter/cooler plugs will effect when the cylinder ignites, and as part of the Flashpaq's performance gain is by stretching the advance, you could run into knocking/pre-ignition.

Just got my superchip and used the 87 octane tune.... Tested it out on the road today and I got preignition with my foot down. Kind of killed my interest in the chip as my soul concern is the longevity of my motor. What are some fixes people have used to solve this problem?
