I have a Superchip. It made a big difference in the performance of my jeep. I'm running with a teraflex 3 inch lift with 35's. Still need to regear the axles but with the superchip I still have all the power.

Tecnhically the Superchips and the Diablo are the only tuners you have listed.

My vote for a tuner is superchips.

Superchip and Sprintbooster as a combo works REALLY well.

But since I had to choose only one in the poll, I went with the Flashpaq. There are just so many different options that it lets you adjust on your JK. I run it on the 91 tune and used it to adjust the speedo for my tire size, and it is great. Haven't had any complaints.

I just had a 4" lift and 35" tires put on my 2011 sahara unlimited (manual). I've read these tuners can add a little bit'o performance by adjusting shift points for autos.. but will it do anything for my 6spd? Once i dropped 35"S my 6sp performance went way down. I know a regear is the ultimate fix for that problem but i'd love to improve things until i get a re-gear.

thoughts?

I have a 6spd and running 35's and the Superchips was my choice and it made a difference.

I couldn't be happier with my Superchips. Money well spent.

I just checked the superchips forum and they're not compatible with 2011 JK's yet. Looks like other 2011 owners have been waiting since december....

I've got a manual transmission on mine, and the Flashpaq definitely made a difference after upgrading tires.
