not sure on dodges but on chevys shift kits are mainily for older generation trannies like Turbo 300 and 400 and even some of the older 700R4s. You can get a programmer and change your shift points and that would be your best bet considering you can change almost everything about your motor and tranny. If you cant find one online call hypertech and they should be able to help you out. They are really good about military and such. Im Air Force by the way...

I would try the TMR mod. Gets rid of the torque management system. And gives you a little jump through the gears!

In case you don't know what it is, it looks like a box with cooling fins on it. Then there is a bolt holding the harness in take that out, ( it doesn't come out all the way, just loosen it and pull the plug out) Look for pin number 10, that is your wire. It is on the back side toward the bottom. Now you will need a very small flat blade screwdriver. There is a red clip that holds the wires in, take that off by prying it up on the right side. Then looking down in there make sure you have the right hole and you will see a plastic tab holding the wire in, there are a couple of holes that are empty check them if you don't understand what I mean. Take your flatblade and push up the tab down in the hole and pull the wire backwards out of the hole. It takes a little jiggiling but it will come out. I taped it up with black electrical tape and then put the red connector back in. Just reverse the process from the begining. I probably way over explained it to you but oh well. I left the wire in the cover making sure it wasn't hanging out and not pinched. I sounds a little harder than it is. It is the hardest just getting the damn airbox out of the way. Hope that helps you out
