SEMA 2016: Starting With FlashCal, Succeeding With FlashPaq Pro

It’s all well and good to simply own a diesel and take basic care of it – checking the oil, inspecting the belts, filling up the DEF. But what if you want more out of the truck? The answer to that question is the Flashcal from Superchips.

Jared Venz was there to explain what all this device could do. “You might be a guy who is just starting off with modifying your diesel and doesn’t want to get too deep with tuning,” said Venz. “That’s fine, and that’s what the Flashcal is for. It might look like a tuner, but most of what it does is diagnostic and corrective. It’s perfect for the guy who just wants to recalibrate tire size, adjust axle gearing, read and clear trouble codes, and so on.”

The FlashCal is a great starting device for diesel owners, as it can be bought as a diagnostic tool and later upgraded to tune the engine, if the customer so chooses.

What is neat about the Flashcal is that if the user ever wants to move to the next level, the Flashcal is ready to adapt quickly and painlessly. “The Flashcal can be upgraded by going to the Superchips website and paying the difference for the tuning software,” said Venz.

On the more advanced side of tuning, it was recently announced that Superchips and HP Tuners had joined forces to make the custom tuning process easy on the end user. Case in point – the Flashpaq Pro.

“Currently, an HP Tuners dealer has to have a guy come into the shop so he can tune the vehicle, or have the ECU shipped back and forth from the vehicle owner and HP Tuners,” said Venz. “We’re removing the hassle by bridging the end user with HP Tuners using our Superchips software.”

The Flashpaq Pro is able to do not just pre-loaded tunes, but custom tunes as well. This is possible thanks to Superchips' co-development with the custom tuning experts at HP Tuners.

In a nutshell, the process allows a Superchips-made programmer to work with custom tunes provided by the experts at HP Tuners. The custom tunes are crafted by HP Tuners for each individual application, just as expected, and can be loaded onto the Flashpaq Pro with drag-and-drop simplicity.

No matter which Superchips product you think might be right for you and your application, the company has your back. Find out more by visiting its website today.
