Hey, thanks for the reply. Is this advanced trans tuning above and beyond what's in a new flashpaq now? I have not been able to use my new tuner yet because the dealer flashed my truck to a brand new version SC had not seen yet, and they are doing up a new tune for me now. It's in the compile stage so should be soon
.
I figure the standard tranny tuning included in the 91 performance tune, along with programming for the proper tire size (33" currently) should be a noticicable improvment though?
For my first tuning attempt, I plan on just sticking to the canned 91 perf. tune, and correcting tire size.

The Flashpaq already has full TCM support and reduces TM in it's tuning, with a Superchips proprietary schedule included.
You'll feel a difference for sure.
What the advanced trans options give you is full control of every part throttle shift (1-4 up, 2-5 down, incl prime gears) and full torque management support. In essence, you can tune out all the dead spots in your shift schedule. Perfect example: When the truck lugs during TC lock up. You can set your downshifts to be more responsive. You can set it to upshift anywhere you like. This is much different than running a stock schedule or even the Superchips schedule. Keep in mind, SC made a proprietary schedule that fits a broader range of users.
While the SC schedule is a more aggressive schedule than stock, it's not even close to the user shift schedules you can set with the advanced trans options. The program costs $40 to upgrade and worth much, much more than that in my opinion.
I worked on this program for 3 years with Superchips. It's truly awesome. Hope that helps.

Well, I just ordered a Cortex 3950. Any suggestions guys???
2004 2500 Hemi, 35" rubber. Going in this week for change over to 4:56 gears.
I'll hit it with the cortex after the gears are done.
Im a total programmer noob so any input would be welcome.

Quick question. Just ordered a new SC Cortex today. I plan on running the 91 perf tune for a while then most likely I will try out the new advanced trans tune. However will I have adverse effected running 93 octane with the 91 tune. And is 93 octane going to negatively effect my 08 5.7l Hemi? All we have around here is 93 octane.

For the purpose of setting your tire size in the Flashpaq or Cortex, this is how to calculate the value you will input into the programmer.
A. Measuring my tire in order to adjust the “Tire Size” setting.
Solution: Measure your “Tire Size” vertically, and place a ruler or a flat, level item on the top of your tire in order to measure accurately. Measure your vehicle’s Tire in inches and round up to the nearest quarter of an inch.
Note: “Tire Size” includes tire and rim. Please ensure tire is inflated to manufacturer recommended pressure.

AFAIK, there is no CAI option on these programmers.
