Can't remeber the difference right off hand, but I was looking through and comparing all of the programmers about a month ago and almost got the Cortex. I settled on the Diablosport Predator and I am VERY impressed with it. Everyone talked about how much better it was than the superchips and I decided to take the plunge and get it. Unless you just have to have superchips, I would really recommend the predator. Sorry if this isnt what your looking for but I am still amazed at the difference this thing made for me...

I have been unable to pin point the difference myself....
From what I heard from others is the cortex may be used between other vehicles... should you sell your Ram for a CHEVY... you could upload the chevy tune to it.... apparantly you can swap it 3 times... Not sure if that's true or not... but like I said... I really don't know.
Please post up if you find something...because their site does NOTHING to help.
SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM

Sorry ahead of time for the length:
I have not owned a superchips so I can't say one or the other is better. I installed the Predator with the 93 octane tune and adjusted my speedometer to my larger tires. The first thing i noticed was when the truck started up, it revved a little higher. Then the idle rpm and the throttle response. When I backed out of my driveway and then put it in drive, the trans shifted alot firmer and the truck shifted from 1-2 a little later than it normally does (don't remeber the exact numbers). Then I got on a two lane road and floored it. this is the biggest difference. Before I knew it, I was doing 90 and it actually scared me a little bit because i didnt shift out of first til around 5800 rpm! This thing was wound up! It also pulled alot harder and felt like it would keep pulling hard till I told it to stop. I was amazed that it made that much of a difference. I was a little skeptical at first, thinking, oh it wont make that much of a difference, but it made my truck feel like a whole new truck. I also noticed a difference in gas mileage (suprisingly). I was floorin it all the time, just stunned at the power and I was drainin gas like if I was driving regularly. I usually get around 245 miles on the 1/4 tank mark driving regularly and so far I've gotten 300 and im just starting to creep up onto the 1/4 mark (and this was with me floorin it all the time). I advanced the timing 3 degrees and have noticed better acceleration and throttle response, but Im probly goin to put it back down to keep everything on the safe side. I also loved how i could plug it into the computer and it would show all my engines activities as they happened. It was really impressive.

Last I heard there is no trans control at this point for 04 Hemi Rams. Has that changed since I last looked into the Predator because if you are getting trans control I would like to know about it. Might want to get one if it can control my trans like it is controlling your shifting.
