Question:

Expert Reply:

Availability of specific tunes may vary based on your vehicle’s make and model for the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner # SU3845, but these are the preset tunes that come with your tuner. Each will have their own way of tweaking the air to fuel ratio and/or the shift points automatically. You can also perform your own advanced tuning to tweak your shift points how you want it. I HIGHLY recommend reading through your user manual before you start your advanced tune.

Here are a list of the tunes, what they do and I've included a section of the user manual about the Advanced Tuning Options you're looking for.
