regearing with flashpaq superchips
Hello,
Just have a question about the above combination. i have a 2.5'' lift with 35'' tires, and have recently regeared to 4:88 gears on a 6 speed manual. Just wondering if the superchips flashpaq will benefit me? i have tried searching, but no luck finding any info on the above mention combo. I also have an aev cold air intake if that matters. Please let me know as i am on the fence whether to buy one or not
thanks,

The SC3875 will help tremendously, not just for recalibrating your speedo but also with the fuel curves for different octane fuels.
I run use the 87 Octane tune (which is the 87 Perf) and it works a LOT better than stock. 91 and 93 Perf tunes are even better!
I haven't bothered with the cold air intake kit...but just swapping out the stock air filter with a K&N filter made a little difference.

Consider an AEV ProCal for half the price.
As I understand it, the principle benefits of a superchip are adjusting shift points (for an auto trans), calibrating for tire size/fixing speedo, and providing fuel "tunes".
With a manual, you don't want the first, do want the second, and may want the third--just know that some folks claim the "tunes" are useless. Some of course swear by them.
So, decide if you want fuel tunes. If you do, then get a superchip. If you don't, then skip the superchip and get an AEV ProCal for half the price, which will account for tire size/speedo and do a number of other things (but not "tunes").

Another vote for the super chips.
I use it quite often. I run two sets of tires, stock Sahara for street use and MT Baja MTZ's for wheeling. They are different size tires and I run a different tune with each.
Stock Tires I run the Economy Tune
MT's I run the 87 Octane performance tune
There is a big difference between the two tunes, I ran the MT's the past two weeks on the economy tune and got on average 14.2 MPG's. I then ran the MT's on the 87 Octane performance tune and got 14.8 MPG. I know not a big difference, but it felt more responsive and wasn't struggling on the highway to maintain 70mph.
I have 4.10's and an auto in an Unlimited Rubi.
With the stock tires and the Economy tune I have seen 17+ MPG's on a consistent basis. So that's what I have been running lately.
Just another benefit it has is you can turn off the TPMS system too, which is nice to not have the light on and bell dinging. Plus there are a ton of other things it can do that I haven't even used yet, have to do some more reading.

I wish they would hurry up and release the 2011...c'mon already! This is really delaying my upgrades in tires/gears...Is there any other options besides superchip flashpaq for programming?

The tire size, gear ratio, and other optional adjustments are key, but the real benefit for me are the different tunes. Definitely a noticeable power difference with my set up, 3" lift and 35's, 5.13 gears.
I usually run the 87 tune, which drives way better for me then it does with the stock tune. And a lot of the time I will run the 'tow' tune, which provied a lot more punch of the line and get up and go. It also has me holding at a higher rpm on the hwy then the 87 tune, which performs great, but decreases my mpg a bit around town.
I'm an auto though.

Would you run the risk of having the computer reset when you go back to the dealer and some other tech flashes your system?
