I win!

Awhile back JP magazine announced their contest for the ugliest Jeep. It was an online contest in their forums to see who could post up a pic of the nastiest looking hunk o' Jeep. The winner got to pick out any Superchips Flashpaq programmer...

Having nothing to lose, I sent in a picture of one of my old MJ's... Before I had a chance to paint it.

 

 

Needless to say, after 2 months up, no one could best me... I got this from John Cappa today:

 

Hey Rob,

 

Congratulations, I think you have the rest of them beat with your ugly Jeep! E-mail me an address we can ship the Superchips Flashpaq to. Also include the year, make, and model vehicle you want the Flashpaq for.

 

 

 

Thanks,

Too bad that none of my junk is new enough to take advantage of that thing... I'm going to go ahead and get the Jeep one (http://www.superchips.com/Store/JeepFlashpaq.aspx) and plan ahead to the future. I'll most likely end up with a newer Jeep, and I know plenty of people with newer Jeeps I could help out with it. Anyone have any experience with the Flashpaq?

 

Just thought I would share the good news with my brotha's.

Rob :cheers:

This question comes up quite often over on my 5.9L ZJ forums regarding the pros and cons of the Superchips flashes. For the most part, Superchips is okay for stock vehicles just looking for a little extra "umph." The issue with the Superchips is that it's a "canned" tune and it cannot be altered. You basically just pop the thing in your OBDII port and upload one of the tunes on the programmer. It should also save your factory tune so you can go back to that whenever you want. A lot of the 5.9L ZJ guys will say to just go straight to an SCT Tuner because you can create your own individual tunes and cater it for your vehicle and modifications.

 

One thing you might want to look into is if you need to give Superchips the VIN or serial number on the PCM for the vehicle you plan on using their module with. I know that with the SCT programmer, they use your PCM's serial number to keep you from using it on all of your buddies Jeeps.
