Default Anyone else as excited as I am?!? :D

Ive been following the superchips forums for a couple months, and it looks like a transmission update is coming out for the 04-09 Dodge's. Apparently, the update will allow for stock shifting or the option to change torque managment control. Ron @ superchips says it will be out very soon. It was supposed to be out at the end of 2009, but it got delayed. Anyone know any details on this? I would love to have a firmer shift, even if I have to pay for an update! I hope its out soon!

Don't hold your breath, they have been sayin that well over a year now.

I don't hold a lot of faith in Superchips., but it would be nice!

Id just like the truck to shift like it does during the 1-2 shift at 50-75% throttle for all shifts all the time. It will get your head moving, but it doesnt over do it. The shift for 1-2 sucks at 100% throttle, and none of the other shifts impress me. Apparently though, it looks like it is only coming out for the 5.7l engines at first, with the 4.7l to follow. I feel like the Dakota is always forgotten about

Im just happy I got the v8 when I picked up my Dakota, or I would be SOL right now. Talk about a lack of performance options.

If they did that too many people would buy dakotas...Dodge obviously doesn't want that to happen.

So I just checked the SC forum today and it looks like the trans update for the 04+ Hemis will be released tomorrow: https://www.superchips.com/forum/vie...=7816&start=45
They are offering a coupon code (also to be released tomorrow) which gives SC users 3 days to get the update for free, otherwise it will cost $40. This is looking good for us with the 4.7l's .... maybe we will have an update in our hands by the end of the month? But I wont hold my breath.
