Got lucky and was part of the Flashpaq beta test program for the 3.6 pentastar..Purchased the tuner from superchips discounted due to the Beta program for $140 on a friday and they had it on my door by monday..

Ive been running the towing tune and 93 oct tune for about 2+ weeks now. Slight increase in Mpg (+1 or 2 ish) slight power increase in mid to high Rpm. Noticable on the highway. Currently running 3.21 with 35" km2's and a 6 spd... Can now hold 6th gear on the highway (Flat) whereas previously I couldnt.

When loading a tune to the ECM, There is a default throttle response setting titled superchips.. I found this setting to be too touchy and unmanagable especially w the 6 spd. If you use the advanced tune setting, you are able to set the throttle response setting to stock and still keep whichever power tune you desire. This was the best of both worlds..

My initial impression of the tuner is possitive. Increase in power is not earth shattering but deffinately noticable, This is coming from someone who is very sceptical of these things, as well as CAI and exhaust kits. Is it worth the $349 price tag??? eehhh, Probably not.. Would I buy one used for say $150?? Yes..

There are lots of features and diagnostic tools on this little thing that I have not had a chance to play with yet that may sway my impression of the price tag so take that into consideration.

If anyone is interested in buying one of these things and wants to try it out on your JK prior to dropping $350, Let me know..

Iron Hill gets my vote

27 spline shafts?

Haha If only santa wasnt funded from my very pocket...

Thats a start! Thanks for the heads up, If someone doesnt have the whole kit and kaboodle I'll take those off your hands and start piecing it together. Your near Lewes?

Voted. Maybe an option to vote for such as "Whatever date the beer is there"??
That matters to some people and may lead to more votes.

...What he said

Not worth the money in my opionion. JK's Hydrolock very easily, therefore an open filter element only worsens the scenario. your $300 roughly would be better spent on a snorkle..

The person I spoke with had not welded the Insert, This in turn caused movement im assuming. The kit I will be using uses 1 ton TREs so no insert needed.

if your ever up bucks county way stop by & bring your toubeing i'll give ya a hand

I may give this a go.. Ill have to find time when I can borrow a garage or else id start on it tomorrow! Problems with renting

Ive seen those and spoke with people who run the insert adapter style and say it is not the best option... Id be worried about excessive play..

Thanks

Here is the thread I pulled this from... http://www.jkowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11662

Awesome, Thanks guys. Ill shoot him a PM

Thanks for the replies, I agree that if the shafts are ballanced and not bent there should be no noticible vibes.. In the case of the TJ.. It had a crate 8.8 with uses an offset center section creating a compound angle at the pinion, This plus the sloppy bearing in the TC front output yoke were the issue i think.. The higher DS RPM just Amplified the issue X10.

5.13's in my JK with no vibes.

Unless there is something else wrong, the increased drive shaft speed shouldn't create vibes.

I noticed you have a 2012. What size tires are you running? From what I've read concerning that engine/tranny combo, you don't need to re-gear as deep as you would with a 2007-2011.

You are correct, It is drivable with the stock gears and 35's. Though still leaves something to be desired at low speed starts and crawling on the trail. 37's are the ultimate goal here
