Default B&G flash suggestions based on my specs. need help

Okay well. I know I have a jet chip and its worthless and dont look at my sig thinking thats a mod im using okay. Based on everything else, i have the 95 5.2L, shortwheel base auto tranny (stock with 145,000 but shifts great and is very reliable) and 3.55 gearing. One thing that suffers is my top end (foruth gear hitting at 75-78) however it is still stock. I have my 5.2 breathing and exhailing as good as I can while motor is stock. Im looking into either just the basic prem truck flash or how can i get more with a custom without destroying my truck. TM can it be safely removed as well, thats an iffy. im guessing even the basic truck flash would do wonders compared to the next to nothing jet chip i had. Thanks for your time! ps. I dont think i have an m1 manifold, wait duh, i know i dont have it. But the plenum is fine!


"B&G Premium Truck Flash (92-95 SBEC) (96-03 JTEC) - $350 flashed PCM or Flashed into Handheld ($650) includes shipping (Ground)" (*)

"This PCM upgrade is designed for vehicles with little or no modifications using stock intake manifold

Revised premium fuel & timing tables
Shift points raised to 5000 rpm
Rev limit raised to 5400 rpm"

or


"B&G Custom Truck Flash (92-95 SBEC) (96-03 JTEC) - $400 Flashed PCM or Flashed into Handheld ($650) includes shipping (Ground) (*)"

"This PCM upgrade is designed for the customer who provides his own specifications for fuel and timing, shift points, rev limit, and speed limit settings or packages that are not
factory engine/trans options."

"Revised timing & fuel tables (per customer request)
Shift points (per customer request)
Rev limit (per customer request)
Torque management removed
Speed limit raised but not removed (per customer request)"

(quoted from B&G)

First thing you should do, is remove the Jet Chip from your sig,

Second thing you should do is call B&G.

you know, that a good question because it acts like it wouldnt. Would you or anyone by shance know what or where to find the stock rev limits and shift points (RPM's) im guessing for now just the basic flash will be very noticeable. Venom pcm is my only other option. venoms better than jet but are still too many bad reviews for me. MPCM is a fossil anymore in the dodge community, those who have one, indefinately keep it...I would too lol. i keep bouncing back and forth on my last mod to get.. tuning

Yeah bud, for sure, I would call them before spending money on something that won't work or you won't be happy with.

Edit, btw, I've never heard anything negative about them on DF.

When I did my B&G flash, I called them and talked to them first. We talked for some time about what I wanted out of my truck, what I had done to it, what I planned to do to it, etc... They build me a tune that was basically a modification of their M1 tune (since I was modding my kegger intake instead of M1), adjusted the limits and the idle the way I wanted it, removed TM, etc... They where very thorough in my opinion, and I have what I think is a great tune for my truck. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I wonder what it would take gather and email them the type of data they'd take if you had it in their shop. Can you do as well locally instead of drive the old beast back for a personal visit to B&G.by: first making the more serious flow/fuel altering mechanical mods all at once, ie injectors prepped heads cam and possibly intake in my case, then for example pay for some time on a local dyno using whatever data logging equipment necessary and send it all to them so they could mail me a new module or whatever it is I'd be getting from them.

edit : sweet runon sentence lol

okay well. I have the low end grunt, want more top end and higher rev rpm's ( willing to sacrifice the first for the other) so when I do the plenum that has been very kind to me so far, im thinking m1 then... THEN the b&g tune after. Correct? in alaska, ive only got 5 good monthes of dry roads to slam the throttle so I get the most out of my time, hence why Im rushing to get mods done
