Default Which one?

I'd like to disable the MDS, firm up the shift points, and optimize performance. My Ram has a 115,000 miles on it, snorkel air cleaner, and exhaust. A) Which one of the tuners would handle my desires and B) Should I be worried about the mileage?

Thanks in advance

Aye. I have the Jet stage 2 mod. (it's the only thing on the market for my truck). And all it does let the RPM's go higher before shifting (automatic trans). And down shifts faster when you floor it.
If anything else is available I would get it hands down over the Jet module.
SCT Hemifever said via email they would build me a tuner. But I am afraid after spending the money on the Jet mod. That the SCT tuner would not do much more. Anybody have a different view? Let me know.

Just got the SuperChips 3950 and hooked it up and put the performance tune on and I see a small difference but not a $350 difference I also raised the Rev Limiter and Speed Limiter but like I said not worth $350 and not to mention I have a 2002 Ram so I don't get the advanced Trans tune

I have the 2002 5.9 and mostly the significant performance gain was in the towing mode. I found I did not have to downshift as much in the mountainous areas of western Pa. Towing was defiantly a huge gain for me but the performance mode and the economy mode were barely a noticeable gain. However I did not try it with the 93 octane performance setting.

Mine only says 91 octane and I don't see a 93 octane one and I fully updated it so is there something I'm missing?

Just purchased and configed my SC vivid linQ. Had a hell of a time getting it to pair with my phone. The SC website helped out big with that one. Have it on 87 oct tune.

Ive heard the 87 tune, gives better MPG then the mileage XS tune. Can anyone verify that.

08 1500 qc 5.7 MDS.

Should I get rid of MDS?

Our Dodge RAMs have personality, what works on one truck does not mean it will work on another, I know it does not sound right but there it is. The best thing is to experiment a little, not like you can't change it back, just see what works best for you and the way you drive and use your truck.

Default bullydog gt

ive got a 2003 1500 5.7, i started off with the diablosport and had it for about a week. i sent it back cause i barely felt a power difference in it. i'm not sure about mpg cause i didnt even bother giving it a chance. i ordered the bullydog gt and i can really feel the power difference. mpg arent major but i havent taken it off of the performance setting since i installed it.
