Cool Tuner?

Ok, Ive been searching on here for about an hour, I hate to ask. Do they make a tuner for our 3.7L? I ran across the posts about the jet chips, but I would like to be able to set my own parameters.

Red face Jetchip opinion

Do they both suck? What are your opinions? Some of the other mods seem a little to expensive/complicated for me. I like to do my own, but tearing down an engine for cams etc. I feel is above me...

Ozone, have you done any of the following?

- Cold air intake
- Exhaust
- Bored throttle body
- Colder plugs
- E-fan
- 180 t-stat

All of those are pretty simple, and should give you some better response. Im not trying to be rude at all, just suggesting.

And IMO, the extra power a chip would add is nice but its not necessary when looking to add more power when theres other options. The Jet chips have a lot of mixed reviews. Unfortunatly Superchips doesnt support the 3.7l, but even the +18rwhp from the Superchips on a 4.7l isnt a night and day difference. I personally like it for the transmission features, and only run the Performance tune because its there.

I have added the plugs, stat, a flowmaster super 44, and CAI. I have another post on here about the TB as far as boring.

part of what I think needs improved on are the shift points, that is what I would like to have a tuner. First to second seems great but some of the higher gears shift to soon/to late imo.
