Picked up a Superchips Flashcal when I first installed my lift to recal the tires and gears. Debating whether to upgrade to the Flashpaq for performance. I've done some research and pros and cons from different Tuners. Is spending the money worth the performance upgrade?

The performance increase is minimal, wait for the 1/2 price upgrade deal.

I've had the Flashpaq for about 2 years now and just run the 87 octane tune. I can tell you I maybe picked up .5 mpg and nothing is "blowing my socks off" in terms of performance. Although I didn't expect it to.

You should try the 91 or 93 Octane tune. You will notice a performance difference they. 87 base tune is only marginally better then stock.

Well I finally ran thru a tank of gas with the Mileage SAVE 87 Tune...Only gained 1.5 MPG but better than nothing right!?? LOL! As far as performance I do like the fact on this tune that it did get rid of the sluggish feel I had in stock. RPM's are more in the normal range. I haven't tried the 91 or 93 tunes yet. All in all Im glad I got the Flashpaq instead of the Flashcal. It has a lot more options that I can use down the road as far as other tunes, TPMS, reads and clears codes, etc...
