According to Superchips own website, they don't have a unit available for the 08 and up Dakotas when you do a vehicle search. That's why I don't have one...

Yup. SC doesn't support the 08+'s yet. I'm waiting patiently and then will compare my Hypertech to the SC.

what's sad, is that 48+ hp is prolly somewhere in the rpm range, other than the peak hp range, sooo that may only raise, like, 5 - 8 hp... but having an extra 48hp in the low range would be nice..

i think he is saying that you get the +48hp at a different RPM versus where teh dyno puts the truck at the max hp.

Essentially meaning that you have more HP throughout your shifts and RPM's versus just at the rev limiter. does that make sense at all? i may be wrong anyways, haha!
