I just found out that the SCT has no way to enter in tire size. I was told to go to the dealer and have them flash it in. What a pain and, I am not going to do that for every time you go to the dealer they give you a DF- especially out here in So Cal. I am looking for a better tuner where I can enter in the tire size at least.

Yours is a 96, so it doesnt read from the sensor in the rear end. You can change the gear on the speedometer.

Take the space between dodge and talk out.

Ok, sounds good. Is SCT the same as Superchips?

not the same at all.....

sct is a custum tune to air/fuel ratio also torque management is turned off and sct has a ton more power than superchips

the only thing superchips has that sct dont is tire size. dot get me wrong it was a day and night diffrence when i did my superchips although it could have been because i had death flash , but i like it

I have a Hypertech as I got a great deal on one and I mainly wanted it to adjust the speedo. However, it didn't make much if any power difference. If I was to buy a regular priced programmer or even buy one now a days I'd go with the SCT.

Let us know if it lives up to your expectations.. I hate not getting feedback after someone does a performance upgrade.. Heck us poor guys need that info so we can avoid throwing money out the window on useless gadgets.
