What is the deal with the cams? Why are they on national backorder?

My bad, you already got exhaust.

So skip that.

Because the company that grinds the H/o cams which all of the other 4.7 performance cams are "re-ground" from stopped grinding them because of "no demand for the product." At-least that is how I understand all of it.

I find it hard to believe that there is no demand for those cams.

Default Y-Pipe

Thanks for the great information. I do have a superchips tuner, that I didn't really see a difference with, but I did resize my tires a little which helped with the shift points.

I also cut my exaust off right at my CC. Added a glass pack with a turn down for a little back pressure. This seemed to have helped performance quite a bit.

I don't understand the Y-Pipe thing. I assume you are talking about for the exaust, but I don't see a Y-Pipe.

Does anyone know if you can use the Superchips 3865 on more than one vehicle? I've heard that you can only use it on one vehicle, but not sure. I have a 4.7L and my brother has the hemi, can we share one?

actually i have one, and i would like to know for sure too, cuz i was told i should be able too, cuz i am putting a hemi in place of my old 4.7, so i also have a new computer, and i wanted to use my superchips again to re-tune the hemi's computers, so does anyone know for sure, ill know as soon as my harness is done, but that might be a few days till i get the swap done!
