Magnaflow for exhaust. Never used a Superchips tuner, only a Diablosport Predator on my Ford that I had.

I run the 91 tune on my truck and it works great, best overall I think as you get the power + the best gas mileage from it. Now if your looking at strictly powerI have alwaysed had fun with running the 87 tune with either 89 or 91 and max out everything. Gives you a fun ride but drains your gas tank I thinkon that setting I got like 10mpg if that (hand calc'd) but it was fun!! but if you are looking for the overall just do the 91 tune, you'll be happy.

As for exhaust I love my Borla system... not sure how it will sound with MDS though...

I just wish these things weren't 400 bucks, I'd love to get my hands on one so I could get some better gas mileage, I just don't see the point in paying a few hundred dollars to use it one time...

^^^That's why i'm still waiting for diablo to come out with the predator...with data logging and live data monitoring it's a good troubleshooting aid along with being a tuner.

And congrats on the superchips heirbound...I hear it's the best out there so far for the hemi.

The only thing mine is good for is tire size, and that's not very close either... all the tunes give about the same performance for me....

More low end power (at least thats how my truck responds to it) the 91 gives better in the higher rpm range though. Again this is how my truck responds to it, I have messed with it for a few years now but have only been running the 91 for the last year or so now because of the better mileage...

I noticed a huge difference with my SC. I run performance with 91 octane.
