I'm ready to pull the trigger on a Superchips. Has anyone had ANY problems as a result?

Mine seemed to help a bit on my 08 and is now sitting in my garage useless until they get a 2012 program.

Actually if anyone is looking for a used Flashpaq I would be willing to part with mine. It works fine but I am looking for more features, and hopefully better support.
Not sure what the criteria for best is here. Performance with aftermarket accessories (Diablo), Bells and Whistles (Bully Dog), Performance on a baseline powerplant (SuperChips)? Nothing I have read would make me consider getting rid of my Flashpaq unless I was going to throw on some long tube headers. Then the choice would be Diablo, and as much as there has been posted about the Bully Dog, quantifying any type of performance gains has been remiss.

Alright maybe that didn't come out quite right. It used to be that Superchips was the only choice, now it is not. I also feel like their support has gone down hill.

Fair enough.

My experience with Superchips support has been nothing short of stellar. Dealt with Ron Rapp on my Dodge Ram issues, and the lead engineer for Chrysler products, on my JK when my initial issue was elevated. They've always responded to emails and I've found it best to call in the early morning hours. Haven't needed any support in a while and perhaps things have changed. Sometimes people just don't like the answers they get, ie third party components like the Viper Throttle Body not working with their product.

Anyway, haven't needed their support and don't have any idea if things have changed.
