I need to choose one, and I was told "ONLY ONE!!"
Superchips programer, or a 85MM throttle body.
Only one... for now, the other mabey later.
I have the basics, exhaust, lift, tires wheels, CAI.
No plans for any other engine work like cams or anything. A 5.7 Hemi is good for me, coming from a nice 4.7 dakota.
So what would you guys recomend first, and why?
Thanks.

I would go for the programmer. I had a basically stock motor and trans. And got a programmer and noticed a difference immediately. I wouldn't go for the superchips though. I had one and wasn't very impressed with the things it would/wouldn't let me do. I got a diablosport intune and there is a noticable difference between the two

 

programmer.

 

my vote is the programmer to

 

On my dakota i ran a SCT from Hemifever.
I did the HO cams CAI and ported throttle body and it was real nice.

 

Chip for sure you could do so much with it

 

Programmer.
Get something that will allow you to do custom tunes for bigger mods later down the road, like the SCT you had.

 

I still have the SCT programer.
I didnt return the Dakota back to the stock tune before i sold it.
Might have to contact them and see id it can be used still

 

unless your doing internal work to your engine, a bigger TB is a waste, the cylinder will only take in the air it can hold. and the OEM provides that. getting a 100mm TB wont make any different either. Unless you make a stroker, borekits, ect ect. Bigger TB with same Cylinder volume just means, slower moving air, means less turbulent air, possibly means less air fuel mixing.

You should look into an E-fan Kit flexalite #183. with everything you got already, and Efan makes a nice addition. But so does a programmer. If you could cram them both in your budget, you'll notice a big difference, especially with everything you already have done on your truck

 

You should have either set the Dak to stock or sold the truck with the tuner. lol

I think the tuner you used for the Dak might not be usable for the Hemi.
