I am in the market for larger tires and one of my concerns is throwing off the speedo and the decrease in performance that I might feel. So I figured while I was spending I would also pickup a tuner to readjust for tire size and hopefully pickup a few ponies while I am at it.

Does anyone have any direct knowledge or experience with the Superchips and Hypertech programmers on the 5.2L? I have been researching them both but can't seem to come up with real world comparisons between the two.

I must say both companies websites SUCK for giving detailed information!!!

Last, what about within each brand
Hypertech Max Energy vs. Hypertech Dodge Power Programmer III
Superchips Max MicroTuner vs. Tirepaq (which says it can be upgraded to Flashpaq - but when you look at flashpaq it doesn't show my motor?)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

incase it helps, my mods are
'99 Ram Sport 5.2L w/
S&B air intake kit
cat-back exhaust

 

anyone? I could really use some help and input for this

 

search a little, but heres one i found for hypertech

https://dodgeforum.com/m_794919/tm.htm

superchips disables the torque managment but is about a hundred bucks more???

ive got the hypertech in my 5.9 and am very happy with it so far, 2mpg increase and more response and power

 

ive got a 98 5.2 and have a superchip...i got it cheper than a hypertech is why i got it...my friend has a hypertech thow (in a 5.9 i should see if he wants to swap for a bit so i can see if there is any diffrance) in my opinion thow there both about the same thing just what ever one you can get cheper

 

Can you offer any insight to the performance gains, mpg gains you got from it? Which model did you get?

 

in all honestley i dident notice THAT big of a diffrence i mean it's a bit more "peppy" but i dunno how else to describe it... as for mpg i dont think it made too much difftence there....but i have a led foot and dont keep track of my mpg cuz if i did know exactley what it was id prob cry

 

Hypertech Max Energy vs. Hypertech Dodge Power Programmer III
These are th same thing, the Max energy just gives you the ability
to update it on-line incase Dodge come up with a new flash for your rig
and you get it and then want to override it.

 

I personally went with the Hypertech on 5.2, but I think that the two are basically the same thing. I just went with the one I could get for a lower price.

 

best way to go

 

The only real difference I could see between the two programmers was the Hypertec was year specific but the Superchips covered multiple years.

I went with the Superchip because it was the cheapest of the twoI could find at the time.
