Default Superchip 3875 installed and so far so good

I picked one up on another forum brand new for an amazing price and was a bit skeptical as to how good it would really do. I already have noticed a big improvement and that is just with a 97 octane program. When I was looking at them I really thought, Yeah right like it will do anything or hardly anything to warrant the money but I must say I have to eat my words and thoughts. If anyone is on the fence dont be it really does help.
My rig is lifted with an OME HD, 33" Yokos on factory rims and no major upgrades. Gears are 3.73. The power increase or at least the shift points are sooooooo much better it does make me wonder WTF was Chrysler thinking? I thought it was ok before, not great but it is a wrangler. So wrong.
Pick one up you will like it!

Not trying to rain on your parade, but I don't understand when people notice HUGE gains with that thing. When I installed mine I could detect almost no improvements whatsoever in shifting or HP/torque on the 87 octane program. Actually my MPG went down a bit. Changed it back quickly and now only use it for the gearing, tire size, & TPMS settings. One day I'll try the 91 when I can afford the gas.

Or maybe I'm just dense. Could be.

Gas prices must still be pretty good in Sin City. Here in the Seattle area it's costing me $70+ for a fill up. Every 4 days. Ouch.

The other day they were around $3.85 a gallon but thy were saying on the news it was over $4 but every station I passed was still under it.

It was funny today I talked to the guy that bought my KJ was comment on poor gas milage. I was surprised as it got around 16 city and 23+ highway. He then said yeah but I have to fill up EVERY Friday. Lol. I just shrugged and said... It's a jeep not a civic and I told you that. I thought it was funny.
