Depends on what you're going to do with your truck. If it's a daily driver and you're not going to do a large cam, heads, etc. (mods that would require custom tuning), then Superchips would be great choice. It will improve your ride's performance. It will reduce TM and give you better shifts. Superchips works with 03, but it doesn't have shift point control for that year. Tuning will change your truck for the better.

i'm runnin a CAI and a cat back, i have no plans of any more performance addons, i'm lookin for tire size adjustment, a mpg improve program, and some more umph. not askin for anyhting special, but with all of the options out there for chips, i'm unsure as to which one would offer me the best bang for the buck
the truck is an '03 2500 on 33's and (as mentioned) CAI (K&N) and Cat back (blowmaster)

Wow, that was alot of reading... Quick question, I was wanting to get a set of headers for my truck ('05 1500 hemi 4x4) and read that long tube headers might lean the truck out too much. Can anyone help me out on this? Also would installing an e-fan and powerwire mess with any of the tunes that the cortex offers? Thank you in advance for any help.

Hey Sil, after the 5.7's year range is all tested and done. Will they release that to the public when ready, or push it a bit further back and wait until the 4.7's year range is all tested and ready too ? I'm not sure if anyone else was thinkin about this . . . if they are and it gets answered now then that may clear up a few things.

I've got a 06 Hemi.. ready to buy a programmer. Couple questions.... I like the towing, gas saver, and power settings... does the towing and gas saver modes require certain octane gas? Is there a MDS disable feature? Is there transmission control on the 2006 model?
Thanks
Fred

Sil answered me on this a few pages back. I believe they plan to release all engine types as a bundle.

Yes you can disable MDS.
Yes there is trans control on 06. Right now you can control WOT shifts 1-2 and 2-3. Once SC tests and releases the new options you're reading about over the last few pages, you will get part throttle shifting adjustments and control at every gear, upshift and downshift, as well as control over torque management.
