how does the mopar performance computer effect gas mileage? just wondering kuz the one i found thru jegs is a mopar performance computer but it says you need to use premiuim fuel, does any body have this same computer? heres the link to the one i found:

thanx

 

thats the same computer that you can get off of summitracing.com, but for cheaper. you DO have to use premium with it (91 octane or higher). im not sure how it affects milage tho, i dont think it would make a huge difference, but just wait for 95_318SLT or Crazy4x4RT to chime in

 

I actually got slightly better mileage with the V6 PCM. although I suspect it should have gotten worse.

The biggest factor for most people I think is that the more power you have the more likely you are to stomp on the pedal more and lower the MPG.

 

Mine said 92 but there is only 91 everywhere I found. For the performance the computer offers yes you do need it. But if you have to you can run regular 86 or 87 but you wont get the performance you paid for. I didn't notice any change in my MPG.

Actully it's cheeper at summit by .04

and i stand corrected, for some reason i remembered seeing $399 or something like that, i guess i was wrong =/

 

I recommend summit to buy any autoparts from. They do price matching and beat by 10%. Checkers auto parts offers this too.

 

That computer works with the Mag V6 too right?

 

If anything I noticed a drop in mpg, but like said above, thats cause you don't get performance parts and not romp on the gas harder :P. The premium gas around here is 93 octane, and my truck sure does love it!

You have to find one for the v6 magnum, you can't get a v8 computer. From what I've heard, they are next to impossible to find.

 

GOOD LUCK!! lol thats all i can say, ive been searching for one forever, but i did find a venom chip on summit that claims it boosts HP by 25%, but i dont wanna test it out and find it doesnt work. there is NO mopar performance computer for the v6 mag...

 

Yes there is. They made them for a very brief time. If you find one it will be used, but they are out there.
