Anyways for $150 I figured i coulden't go wrong, and I was right! I love it. Don't understand how someone couldent notice a difference.

Just made a 160 mile trip. I have the SC Cortex tuner with the performance tune ( 91 oct. in the tank ) and MDS deleted. 70 mph traveling south out of Kansas with a WNW wind @ 13mph and the tach. reading 1900, the overhead said I was getting 19.4 mpg. At 75 and the tach. reading 2050 it read 18.3. No MDS = better mpg ! I have never come close to these averages at these speeds before now.

BTW, my truck had a half a tank of gas and my 275# *** in the seat. There is also a tool box that weighs approx. 250 #. Thats well over7200 pounds not including the fuel.

Well im always looking through the local www.craigslist.org posts, and saw one called Misc Hemi Parts, and the guys was selling a K&N complete intake, Airraid throttle body spacer, and the Flashpaq for $300! I called, asked him what he'd sell just the programmer for, and he told me $150.00. I met him the next day, and he stayed with me to ensure that it would work. 2 days in, and I still LOVE it.

I have an 04 with the Superchips Flashpaq - a huge difference over stock.
The big difference was shift points, low speed shift points, and throttle response. obviously the 6300 1-2 shift with ignition cut was a nice feature...

Can assume things have chasnged with the 08 models...

Can any of the Flashpaq 3815's be used on a 4.7 once reset and updated via the internet, or do they have to be specifically for the 4.7? I see a lot of Hemi 3815's for sale, but I'm hesitant to buy because I'm not sure if it will work on my 4.7.

Your sig says you have the power wire. Is that the Air Ram power Wire and if so did it do anything after or with the SC 3815?? Didn't know if they would work together or if the SC already does what the PW does.
