Both of you are going to feel very ripped off unless you are really looking forward to the other few things like the TPMS and idle up options that it can provide. Otherwise with a manual trans the only thing you can look forward to coming into the summer is more ping and clattering (detonation) sounds. Sorry to have to break it to you like that but its the truth. In the off chance you do feel some sort of gain in power or fuel economy it will be so minimal that the cost will not justify it.

Nope but I have been in 3 that have had it and they all felt the same before and after the tuner.... Gutless. Even the owners were let down.

Interesting. My Jeep drives WAY better with the Superchips on 33s with 3.21s no matter what tuner setting I use. I can actually keep up with the pentastar on flat roads.

I use tow with 91/93.

Look I don't care either way how any of you spend your money. I have no stake or interest in any of these power programming companies. These are purely my opinions and expieriences with this product. The guy who emphatically stated that your jeep is going to "come alive" must be on some good meds. I you have an auto get this product and the trans tuning option. If you have a manual you are going to feel like you just bent over and took one.

Crawl tune

I'm thinking of getting the Flashpaq for my 2010 JKU auto. It sounds like I should get the option that allows you to change shift points. How much is that option?

I switch back and forth between the stock wheels and tires (for daily driving) and the 33s for off-roading. Is it fairly easy to reprogram for these changes?

I also want to be able to use the "crawl" tune when off-roading. How much trouble is it to switch in the field from a performance tune to the "crawl" tune?
