Default Tuners, Which to choose???

i`ve been trying to decide what tuner to buy lately. I hear alot of good about superchips flashpaq. but i was looking at the predator on quadratec and it says it can adjust the sensitivity of the gas petal so when you step on it it doesnt feel like you pushed the pedal to the floor and nothing happenes. does the superchips do this too? i`m also open to other tuners too if you have had good experiences with them.

I bought the superchips from a forum member. Its a great unit and is really nice. It does take the delay out of the throttle but I do not believe that it is adjustible (throttle control). Its super user friendly and you can update it online with the data cable they provide you. I also noticed a bump in gas mileage. About 1 in the city and 2 on the highway and it took out the dead spot in mid range RPM's. I like it as it amplified my intake (volant) and exhaust (gibson single outlet). Hope this helps

thanks for the info. I am getting tired of being in fifth and especially 6th gear stepping on the gas and and having no acceleration or power of any sort. The lack in throttle response is very annoying!!

so it improves the deadness in the gas pedal, good see i had a tj years ago with the straight 6 which was alive with power, then i had to mustang gt's and wanted to get back into a jeep ever since. the dead dead gas pedal kills me!!

If you have some time to kill this will tell you anything and everything you want to know about superchips.
