    Lightbulb Superchips F5 Flashpaq 2845

    Just got my Supperchips F5 Flashpaq 2845 delivered today, i'll be doing the tune this weekend. I'm looking for some advice on settings. My G8 is my DD, but i also want more HP and give it some attitude, and at the same time good for my wife! So here is what i'm thinking:

    91 performance VCM cai tune.
    Transmission presser at 25%.
    AFM set to off.
    Magnaflow Axle Back (is there a setting??)
    Rev & speed limiter Stock
    Shift points Stock
    Fan Stock


    Any Suggestions?

    There's not a setting for axlebacks. Just go to Superchips site and dl spark, or whatever they call it now, and update the tuner and the buy the cai tune of your choice, they're cheap, and then plug it into obd2 port and follow directions. Mines a dd too and I'm using 50% on torque since I very seldom do wot and I let everything stock except the speed limiter, which I have no idea what top end would be.

    Hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas.....

    I installed the tune over the weekend, all was good except for one thing.
    So i updated superchips, then did my tune, all was good. Then went back and updated superchips again to get the VCM (cai) add on. The only 2 things there was the extended warranty and to buy a vin un-lock, No CAI's at all. Did i miss something?

    Ok. I ran spark and it said to plug handheld into comp. then it said it's updating tuner and may take a few minutes. The a screen popped up and it said your device is up to date and had online store and had the remove cai tune and all the tunes that were for sale, vin unlock, etc.. Make sure you have it opened all the way by clicking on the maximize square on top right. If you still can't get there, pm me your phone number and I'll call you and walk you through it.

    That sounds like what i did, it showed the vin un-lock and warranty to buy. I did make sure the page was all the way open. I will try it again when i get home, I'm at work right now. Did it show a tune for 91 VCM (cai)??

    I think it did. It had 4 or 5 different cai tunes and I think VCM was one of them.

    You would think superchips would support the people that have Cortex, that's not right!
