Default What is a good chip for a v6 dak?

I'm interested in getting a chip for my 3.9l v6 dak sport. There is so many choices I just wanted to know what you guys found to be the best. Just wanna know how much it cost and how much hp increase you got.

Thanks

chips get overrided by the pcm overtime and are a waste of money.

you need a flash or a new pcm.

because they lack knowledge on how it works...

if your talking about a handheld programmer then yes those work, but swapping a pcm or getting one flashed is your best bet.

If you dont want to trust me and waste 200-300$ then go for it.. just trying to help.

Also dont buy a Throttle body spacer or a Intake Tornado.... if you planned on it.

Hypertech and Superchips both make handheld programers for our trucks. Superchips seems to be more popular with dodges then Hypertech. So whatever...

but a Custom Flash or PCM Swap would work best, depening on other mods you have on the truck. I have a Mopar Performance PCM in mine, over the stock 5.9 pcm. It was a noticable diffrence in **** points and mid range power, and little better gas milage also.. well worth the 200 i spent on it.

4800 - 5200rpm

or 4500- 5800rpm..

i forgot.. I dont let mine shift in Drive.. i manually do it... so i redline it at like 6k with the 4bbl it pulls all the way up to 6k.. i need bigger heads though.
