Superchips Flashpaq for JK, Initial Impressions
Mine shows the 93 and 91 but not 87. I never planned to run 93 (not available in AZ) or 91. I saw the dyno's somewhere (could have sworn it was on Superchips page but it's no longer there) and there was only a 3-4hp difference between the two and maybe 7tq. Don't quote me on the numbers as the link I had saved to it now just goes to the main page.
Before taking Mickey to the dealer i returned the computer to stock settings now she is back and ready to be chipped should I connect my superchip and see if there are any update or just go ahead and install the superchip note i have not recieved any updates from superchip
and yeah everything was working fine before i returned to stock

Ok, very interesting. The entire reason I went with the Flashpaq was based on the recommendations that the Superchips allowed you to change shift points and shift firmness. When I called Hypertech (after installing it) I found out it did NOT have the trans settings. I called Superchips and they told me the Flashpaq for the Jeep indeed DID have those settings. I bought it.
When I called in to say, "For some reason mine is missing settings...." we discussed those that were missing. He agreed that those should be in my flashpaq and wasn't sure why they weren't. 10 days later (now) they're still not sure why mine doesn't have have the settings when others do. I've spoken with them now 6 times on the phone and twice they've gone to Engineering with the question. Engineering told him they're not sure why some are working and some are not other than the "different computer issue per vehicle that Jeep/Dodge/etc have". Now, could the gentleman that's handling my ticket# and Engineering not know that these are not available? I suppose that's possible, but just doesn't seem logical that they have no idea what's going on.
What's "missing" from mine is in red below:
Per my Superchips Instruction Manual:

I bought this for 3 reason, 2 of which aren't on my Flashpaq:
1. Changed tire height
2. Shift firmness & shift points
3. 87 Octane Performance

Again, speak to Ron Rapp in their tech support program. Separate your issues from features that are to date undelivered. Then you'll have a solid base of what the product can and can't do at this date and in turn make the decision if it's the right product for you.

Have you tried advanced tune rather than quick tune? That's where I found the tire height and 87 octane. As far as shift points, when I tuned it, the shift points automatically changed, much for the better.
Note:
I just got the Flashpaq. According to my Flashpaq Manual and I quote...
"87 Octane
Optimizes settings allowing 91 octane required or recommended vehicles to safely use 87 Octane gasoline".
This is NOTa performance enhancement.
HOWEVER:
According to my Jeep Flashpaq Special Instruction Manual Insert.
There should be an 87 Performance enhancement that does the following.. and I quote directly from the insert:
"87 Performance requires the use of 87 Octane gas and is used for extra horsepower, torque, and driveability for on-road and off-road uses. The tune is calibrated for 2WD, 4WD-HI and 4WD-LO uses. This tune is available for all Jeeps covered by Superchips."
GUESS WHAT? That option is NOWHERE in my flashpaq settings options!!!
How irritating! Neither is the Auto transmission shift points.. OR the TPMS function either!

On my JK Wrangler which only requires 87 Octane I have both a stock and an 87 Octane setting. I have been so impressed with the 87 Octane setting that I rarely use the higher Octane settings. The tow setting is my favorite for rolling around, although I'm pretty sure I'm getting a little too much crank case pressure and seeing some modest oil burn through the breather.
So I'm not sure what you're missing. If you see an 87 Octane setting it is definitely a boost in performance and much different than stock. The other 87 Octane Superchips verbiage is for Hemi owners of different vehicles.
I have a 6 speed so I can't directly comment about the shift points and firmness, but there have been a host of auto users who have confirmed that their shift points and firmness have changed.
On my Hemi Ram I do have the shift point adjustment but only at WOT. It's not that useful unless you plan on drag racing your JK. What I know to be in process is a much more robust set of auto transmission settings that unfortunately you'll need to wait for.
As for the TPMS there are a ton of posts here stating that it's to date unavailable. If it's a feature you really need to have then you should act accordingly. For me the performance I received out of the gate was worth the price of admission and the rest is gravy and I can patiently wait for it
