The only "chip" available is the Jetchip and it is complete garbage. It does make a nice paper weight.

You have an 05, so you have two options- Superchips or SCT. Superchips is good if you have a mostly stock truck with just basic mods (intake, exhaust). If you are heavily modded (cam, heads, etc) than SCT is the way to go.

flashpaq

The cortex doesn't do anything for the ram that the flashpaq doesn't already do for less money.

Or wait for Diablosports Predator to finally launch....there's no exact date yet and hasn't been for a long time. It'll be the best on the market when it launches and the model number is U7137. http://diablosport.com/

Superchips 3815 has been a very popular programmer for the 5.7L HEMI trucks... We have received HALF (2 of 4) of all the HYPERTECH programers back as the customers where NOT satisfied with the gains... So we tend to push the SUPERCHIPS over the HYPERTECH. We sell many more Superchips and never see them returned. Thats just what we see... To me its clear that the superchips is a better product gauging from average customer experience.

SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM
