99 Dodge Dakota Question? Rev Limiter, Speed
I'm new to this forum and to customizing my 99 Dodge Dakota 5.2L 4x4.
After installing a new K&M air intake I noticed when I push on the gas hard the rpms bounce. This surely happened before but now I notice it.
Can someone point me in the right direction to remove this restrictor - governor... whatever it is. Probably a chip of some sort. I looked at the one item SuperChips offers for my truck and the hand-held tuner is $465.25. If someone has one of these already maybe I could pay you a small fee to hook-up to my truck and adjust the settings. I'm in Mesa-Phoenix Arizona.
Do shops carry these and what do they charge to tune?
Thanks

eBay it. I got my hypertech for uh, $200-ish? brand new, complete. It didn't help with the tranny not shifting, just moved it up the RPM range.
I'm most likely going to take mine in to a tranny shop and talk to them about options for beefing it up.

I used a Hypertech on my '00 Dak RT.. it allows you to change the rev limit +/-500rpms, it also allows you to change the top speed to 128, it programs the computer to run on 93octane and it allows you to change the tire size to fix your gauges.
Its better to just get a B&G flash pcm
they are about the same price as the handhelds...

you can look there for more info.
Some people say that there flashes are as good as a 50 shot.. so you will also gain Hp and Tq from this also.
350-630 depending on which flash you get..
