Default performance chip for 4.7L

Hi looking for a performance chip for my 1500 4.7. Any tips on brands.

I think he has an 2007 model..

Superchips or a Diablo would be good. I currently have a Superchips in my 06 4.7L ram but i am having some issues out of it. Specifically the advanced transmission tuning but before the last update messed it up it was awesome. For an extra 30 or 40 bucks You can customize your shift schedule and dial down torque management in part throttle and wide open throttle. Not that it only makes the truck more fun to drive but your shifts will be much quicker and firmer. But like i said there is an issue with it but from what i've gathered its only in the 06 4.7L rams and dakotas. That is only a suggestion if you are interested in that sort of thing.

Diablo works good and I do offer the i1000 intune either with just the preloaded tunes or with my "enhanced" tuning where I email you a few revisions to maximize power output on your specific truck. Shoot me a pm if interested or check out my site

Throttle body spacer is worthless, does nothing for you.

The tbs was free and I can't say I noticed a difference in power. Have yall seen the tornado terminator? How ridiculous does that sound? Here put this fan in you intake and closeup your air intake except when you floor it you might feel a difference. Has anyone ever used one?

I mean what you want to do your truck is good but if I may add some recommendations to help save you some money and get the most out of your truck. 1. Make your own CAI and use a K&N filter ($70 max). 2. TB Spacer is a paper weight, if you got it for free use it as that. 3. Ditch the FlowMaster as it still uses a chambered muffler that sounds good but has bad flow. Get a Magnaflow or any other brand you want BUT only buy the muffler (whichever one) and then get a Magnaflow Y pipe (only one to get) and then have a shop fab up the rest of the exhaust however you want ($70-120 max for muffler+whatever labor costs for piping). Lastly for your original question the big two tuners here are SuperChips and Diablo. Not many guys on here will know how good the HyperTech is if it is at all compared to the other two. These are just my opinions though and how I feel about such mods.
