Don't spend the money unless you've already taken care of the lower intake gasket. Or are prepared to do so.

I could not find a number to contact Hemifever (SEAN) and don't really like doing business thru e-mails.

I have the Gibson 6522 side exhaust and have had not problems with it along with the K&N cai sounds awesome. You can barely see it on the pic below in front of the right rear wheel.

Email him and ask for a phone number, if you want, then you can order it via the phone.

Many other places sell the SCT tuner, but none of them are anywhere near as inexpensive as Hemifever's prices. Also, his customer service is fantastic.

I have been trying to decide if I want to go with the SCT or superchips. I understand the advantages of the SCT but will removing the torque management mean certain death for my transmission with over 130K? Tranny is solid right now but I would like to make it another year or two before going down the new tranny road.

Just my opinion, but I'm thinking if you don't abuse your tranny, it will actually be better with TM gone...

The feature made it more difficult for clowns to destroy 'em I'm thinkin- of course, it was intended to keep dodge from having to prove the clowns abused them and while they were still covered under warranty...

I've noticed mine holds gear longer before shifting by about maybe a hundred rpm or so during regular acceleration, and that it holds 3rd longer before OD, maybe to 55mph or somewhere thereabouts as opposed to 45 or so.

Maybe a silly way to look at it, but 55mph OD shift seems reasonable in the mind of a tranny, that your going to be there or faster a while, and not need to shift around that much. At 45mph, hell- you could do that in city driving traffic, and vary as much as 10 below and 5 above (35mph to 50)... Shifting means heat.. Heat bad for trannies..

Getting on it is a diff thing- racing it and it hitting a slight pause between gears and then dropping in the higher gear is also hell on a tranny. Resolve being "don't do it unless ya gotta".

I'm thinking a reasonable driver is buying time on a tranny by getting rid of TM. A heavy footed driver, though, just lit a fuse.
