Debating on getting the Flashpaq vs cal. I was going to get either a Tazer or flashcal for when I went up in tire size and also disable auto stop.

But the flashpaq you can add more HP/Torque with a PCM swamp. Anyone do this? Are you happy with it?

I’d like to know the answer to this question as well. I’m thinking about doing the PCM swap or alternatively they have a new product called “Pulsar” that plugs into the PCM and provides mostly the same tuning HP/Torque increases. My interest though is to try and eliminate some rough sputtering bucking type engine timing that me and several others are noticing. Seems to be related to the timing and valve lift settings in the OEM tune.

When yall say "pcm swap", are you talking about buying a new pcm to install for tuning?

I have a flashcal, that honestly, has never worked properly, but was thinking about upgrading to a Flashpaq which Superchip told me I could with some downloads.

Pcm swap is a free service when you buy a flashpaq. You will go on their website and place an order for an unlocked pcm, when you receive it you will take yours off, install the unlocked and send yours it back to them.

Just installed a Pulsar this morning. Initial impression on 1st drive is pretty good. Definitely a difference with 40s.

I installed the Pulsar this morning. Great results with noticeable power here at altitude (6300ft). Wondering if there are updates for this because it looks like you have to buy the cable separately.

I have had this installed for a few days. In Performance mode I notice on the highway the power just cuts (for a second) out and I get a driveline clunk and random times. Tow mode doesn't appear to do this.

I did call superchips and they said there is no way to update and if there was there is no need to do so.

I am getting an error code for low voltage at throttle position switch when in tow mode rather repeatedly now. Anyone else see this? It kicks into limp mode then still has check engine on after restarting for a few hours. Have not seen this with the stock setting.

Had too many issues with the Pulsar, exchanging it for the full i3 tune and PCM.

Can anyone tell me if the pcm swap will be noticed by the dealer? Can I unmarry for general updates/repairs? I would assume no but superchips has not responded to my email questions so far.
