I would be extra cautious with Diablosport. They are too eager to be the first to market in everything which results in poor testing. They have repeatedly released tunes that cause issues.

We have used and sold Superchip tuners for several years now and overall had great luck with them. What year is your Jeep? On the 2012 to current models they make up to 35hp.

I have a 2013 and had the diablo sport Trinity and I now have the Superchips Flashpaq.


The Diablo Sport worked for me without issue.

The tunes were pretty good, the nicest thing about the unit was its color display and the fact that you can mount it and use it for data collection.
What I did not like about it was the touch display didn't have a good feel and I read reports of it not working after a while. The other huge con is the cost.

I currently have the Flashpaq and its features are pretty much the same without the color display. I have used all the tunes and really like the Tow tune running on 93. My jeep definitely felt like it had more power and the shifting was much better. What I did not like was I could not get the drivers to load 2 of my computers that have windows 7. I have not tried recently to load them so they may have fixed that.

I did notice better MPG with the Tow tune, but you are paying for premium also. If you search the forums there is a bunch of people results on each tuner.

Both tuners allow you to get rid of the throttle lag.

I have an 07 jku. I recently bought the flashpaq 3870 and it made a huge difference. It feels like a new jeep. I have 35's and a 3.5 inch lift and always felt my auto transmission struggling to stand it's ground. Now the shift points are right on. Power off the start improved. And I noticed a decent (3.2 mpg) fuel increase. I purchased mine used as it was reset to stock. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one of these brand new but I got lucky.

I've got the Superchips, too, and I'm very pleased since. I got it to correct the speedometer after upsizing wheels & tires, and was surprised how much better it goes than when it was stock (87 octane tune). And when I tow my trailer (2,600lb dry hybrid camper), I switch to the 'tow tune', and all is well. In fact, I forgot once, and was shocked how bad the Jeep towed. It's a 2010 auto JKUR.
