Your 1815 FLASHPAQ houses specialized databases that contain optimally calibrated,
individual vehicle application, performance programs which tune BOTH the engine &
transmission. Superchips calibrations include optimization of the entire power band – from idle to
redline! Part throttle, as well as Wide Open Throttle is covered with Superchips FLASHPAQ
Tuning. Superchips calibrations are intended for stock vehicles.
Minimum Octane Requirements:
Super charged vehicles – 91 octane
Performance and Towing V8 – 91 octane
Performance and Towing V6 – 87 octane
The “87 Octane” Tuning Level provides optimal motor tuning while operating with 87 Octane fuel.
(Use of premium fuel is NOT recommended with this tune.)
If your vehicle is a Lightning or super-charged Harley Davidson Edition vehicle, an “HP4”
tuning level is offered in lieu of the “87 Octane” tuning level for use when a 4lb pulley is used to
raise boost pressure.
Do not select this tuning level if you have the stock pulley installed.
Doing so will degrade engine performance.
The Superchips 1815 FLASHPAQ also offers users the following (options vary by vehicle):
Raise the Vehicle Top Speed Limiter
Raise the Engine Rev Limiter – Except 05-07’ F250
Selectable Axle Ratio Size (Correction of Speedometer & Shift Points) – Except 05-07’ F250
