What about the other settings and the other features of the superchip?
I get better gas mileage with the 87 performance Tune than w/ the MileageX.
If you got the superchip just to improve gas mileage you are missing something -

With your pinging issues....check your throttle body, it could be carboned up spray some seafoam deep clean in the throttle body. Also, Run a can of Seafoam in your tank, and use 1/2 bottle through your brake booster vacuum line to clean out your injectors. Then run a tank of 91 Octane to clean out your fuel system and see how that helps with the pinging.
If it still pings call Superchips to work with you on the pinging issues or look at switching out your knock sensor.

So few months back after getting some 35"s i decided to get supercip flash pack. I was on the fence between this and for less than half the price, the AEV procal.
but..... I bought superchip for its added performance features.
I used the milageX setting that is suppose to increase MPG. After adding 35's i figure if i got back close to stock MPG i would be satisified.
After few tanks of gas seemed to not help at ALL!
So i decided to test it. Set it back to stock and just change my tire size, then filled the gas tank. I got 312 miles on my MTR's with kevlar that measure 34.5" on my wheels. I actually ran it until i literally ran out of gas as i have a rear gas can mount. Then i filled it back up and changed from stock to MilageX performance setting with tire size set as well.
Results?! 300 miles before i ran out of gas.
Conclusion = Superchip Flashpaq is NOT worth the extra money!
I lost 12 miles and spent extra $200! FAIL!
And since MilageX doesn't work i would doubt any of the other performance setting work either. Most of them just make my engine ping something awfull.
Save your money and get AEV procal or something in that price range.....

If you have an auto, the tow tune should hold your lower gear longer for climbing, hauling and driving around town. That is what my Edge Juice on my Diesel does with my CTD automatic it holds the lower gear much longer so you don't get constant shifting and overheating your tranny.
