I have the Diablo Predator on my 2008 Hemi. I installed the 91oct tune and disable MDS. I get better gas mileage and better performance. I am very happy. Also, the support of the staff and flexibility of tuning options far exceed the Superchips IMO.

Yeah, I think Diablo FINALLY getting that thing to market, although well over a year and a bunch of destroyed LX Hemi engines later, has Superchips rethinking their "we can't give you anything that would effect CARB certification" policy. A glance at their forum has quite the list of upcoming features all planned for the SC 3815. Competition can only be a good thing for us truck owners...

Did you adjust your shift points yet? I did last week and it made a huge difference...not only does it pull longer in gear but it sets up the next shift higher in the rpm range.

Absolutely...i'm glad SC is stepping up with more options and hopefully that'll put some pressure on diablo to add more too.

too new on the market, it'd be a tough find. I would have had my Superchips on the market when I finally get my affairs straight and do the cam and SCT custom tunes, but the recent inclusion of the 4.7 & 4.7 H.O. of the 3815 means I'll be able to "hand me down" my Superchips to my Grand Cherokee.

Of a side note, I took the GC to Ga. on my last trip and returned the truck to stock. Installed the XS mileage tune on the Jeep and managed almost 27 mpg on the trip. A good 4 mpg over the best I've ever done. NOT TO SHABBY out of a 4.7 H.O. V8 on a full time 4WD Overland!!!

Hahaha, when I saw that I thought that it was something that others should be made aware of. It makes me think that these canned tunes are all pretty close to each other.

Will my 3815 work on the wife's GC with a Hemi???? If it does I would love to throw the program on there and see what it does on the performance program.

Last I heard it's just the 4.7 & 4.7 H.O. in the GC. Hemi release for GC is due "early '09", keep an eye out for a release note or bug 'em on the Flashpaq Forum. They are pretty good about responding...
