Default Superchips Flashpaq VS. Hypertech Max Energy

Pretty self explanitory...which delivers more horsepower/more torque? It is pretty evident that the flashpaq has way more features but let's get a bunch of opinions because these are the leading two chips. Performance-Flashpaq or Max Energy?

My vote Superchips...hands down,

a friend of mine Dan "Dwikto" had the Hypertech Max Energy before it was stolen and replaced with Superchips and he told me Superchips hands down. I am sure he will chime in on this for you!

A number of guys have let go of their Hypertech so they could get the Flashpaq. It's just a better all around unit....

I was running the hypertech for a while I did notice a slight improvement but after switching to the superchips it was like night and day I could really feel the difference especially with an automatic trans JK. Well worth the investment in purchasing the SC.

I switched from Hypertech to the SC Flashpaq and noticed a big difference. I then sold my Hypertech and in turn so did the guy who bought it, switching to the Flashpaq.

I will say that there is a new programmer entering the JK market, the Diablo Sport Predator and Trinity. Quite pricey at about $200 more than the SC Flashpaq but brings custom tunes to the table.

Not something I would have a need for as I'm not adding long tube headers, ported heads, replacement throttle body or a cam to my sheepish 3.8l 6 banger.

Question

I have hypertech now and will be switching over to the flashpak. I have a question about the ability to lock in 4-high. Is the jk capable of this or could there be damage...is there a max speed suggestion?
