all ive got in terms of mods is an intake. is this chip more for the heavy modded guys, or could i still benefit? ive read some people saying they got better mpg, which is my only true interest. and also i remember reading on here of one of the chips screwing up several peoples cruise control. so what risks are there in this chip?

From what I have heard, from alot of people, is that the chip is basically a very expensive paper weight. Go with a superchips tuner if you are going to put basic mods on or a SCT if you need more customized tuning if you go into the core of the engine. It is a little bit more, but it is worth it.

the jet chip has been known to fry the pcm's. i wouldnt go for the jetchip however if you are set on getting one there is a jetchip for sale on ********* for $75.......i wouldnt risk it though and ive heard the gains arent worth it. The superchips 3815 is $379 and worth every penny. Sct programmer i believe is $400 and $500 with a custom tune from various. the predator would be in those price ranges too if it every comes out ( hopefully it will) but the programmers are what you really want. can do soo much with them.

I'm a hugh dodge lover, especially the RAM.
But here in Europe you will pay random $25.000 for a 2004 hemi, for a 2004 4.7L $20.000.
So it's a big difference to me.

But what is the best engine? The 4.7L or the hemi? How many miles you can drive in it?
I have read that you can "tune" the 4.7L near to the specifications of a hemi.
But is that good for the engine?

I know - Many questions - but you will help me a far end whit it.


Many regards,

Frank (Belgium)

If you get a 4.7 get an 08. They have 310 hp to the hemis 345. Very close. Its pretty easy to make as much as power as the hemi.
