has anyone used a superchip or any programmer on their 4.7? i am considering one for my 4.7, but ide like to know a few things first. Is it noticeable? Can you tell any power gain? any help would be appreciated

 

when i bought my 4.7L the previous owner superchiped it. so i cant tell you how it ran stock. but, the speed cutoff is removed (which i have tested fully ), i think it shifts higher than others ive compared to on youtube oh and it sure does eat up gas with the performance tune. a CAI and exhaust will make it run like a champ.

 

awesome man, thanks.. and i recently purchased a gibson dual exhaust for it, hopefully a summit intake soon too

 

those two basic mods will def help performance/sound. and if i was you, depending on where you live and where you drive mostly. for town/traffic driving reflash the dakota to the economy tune, then if you want to go on the highway or race, whatever, reflash it to preformance. which only takes a few minutes. my city gas mileages is just awful.

 

take a look at my youtube vid, i have one up of a 0-60, just in case your curious to see what your getting.

 

hmmm....Thunder, you mention shift points....I have a 5 speed...can you use the same chip or do you have to buy one for trucks manual transmissions?? I was thinking about getting one as well, but haven't really researched it much. Anyone know??

 

the superchips programmer is used on a bunch of different chry/dodge vehicles doesn't matter if its stick or auto
i know my buddy has a sc and it will work on my truck, he has a '01 ram 5.2L

oh and its a superchips flashpaq 3865

 

Sweet. Thanks, Josh. I guess I found my xmas present to myself (since headers are out of the question)

 

Thunder - Same here. My 4.7 is averaging about 11mpg city and only 14 highway.. Hopefully these mods will change that for the better. Thanks for the help to you and everyone else!

 

ya on that programmer i had a problem with mine and superchips dont wanna help but if i use the adavance tune at all it blows the ecm so i dont know what to do
