Hows it going all, been a while since I have been in this forum, ever since I got my 3rd gen. But of course there are things that you guys do seem to know somewhat better than the 3rd gen crew, and what Im looking for is how to be able to contact hemifever about an sct tuner when I decide to buy one, I know thats the one I want to buy! hope to get some answers quickly!! Thanks fellas!!

 

i think he hangs out on dt

 

hemifever@aol.com

 

Thats him. Great guy. He is tuning my 408 right now.

 

Does SCT have any tunes for the Dodge Ram 5.9l for use of regular fuel?

 

It tunes it to run at 92 octane....i think i read that there is a tune for 87 though

 

you really have to go with the 92 tune to see real performance gains though....unfortunatly..unless you are comming from a deathflashed unit..

 

IIRC, you get three tunes. You can make the three tunes do any three things you want, but usually...

One tune is for regular, 87 octane fuel. Mild performance increase, very mild MPG gain (if any).
One tune for towing, with 92 octane fuel.
One tune for performance, with 92 octane fuel. Awesome performance gains, and mild to mediocre MPG gains. For the most part, you probably won't notice much of MPG gains because you won't be able to keep your foot out of it.

The cool thing about the SCT is that it can be customized... you can have Hemifever do tunes for 91 octane instead of 92, you can have him not do a towing tune at all, if something doesn't feel quite right you can contact him and he'll adjust the tune and get back to you, etc. etc.

The SCT is definitely the way to go. It is on my short list now, as soon as I get around to getting my Superchips 3815 sold (will be up for sale relatively soon).

 

same here, i want to sell my superchips to buy a SCT!!! i heard taking torque management makes a big diffrence

 

after i get my front end built up im getting one....all this info is making me anxious to get one now
