The updated files in the 1704 are the same as those in the Flashpaq.

I have an old 1704 as well that would need to be upgraded. I was thinking of just buying one of the newer programmers...but are you saying that using the 1704 (after new programming) would be the same...? Or are there additional reasons (advantages) to getting one of the newer programmers? And if so, which is the best?
Thanks

Is anyone having problems with Flashpaq? ie. programmer issues, head gaskets blown or tranny issues? I am running a cat back Banks exhaust system and Auto meters gauges on my 2006 F-350 lariat cc 4wdr with 20000 miles no problems. And I am interested in buying a Super chip or sct. I have heard and read a lot about both, and like both. I am leaning towards the Super Chip. Is this a good move? Thanks in advance for all the help.

I just got my programmer back from Superchips for an update, now when you install tuning on Hi-Performance there is no noticeable change in performance. Has anyone else experienced this? I even installed it again and no change. The first time installing the tuner didn't even recognize it had installed any thing. The second time the tuner says Hi-Performance tuning installed.
It doesn't even smoke from an idle to the floor. What has happened to my tuning. It used to run like a bat outta h***. Now no more boost then it has stock.
