Dodge has always been known to have inefficient trannies, a good after-market torque converter can get back as much as 30-35% of that lost HP and Torque back to the rear wheels...

yep,got one on mine.its the 3815 though. the 3815 is rated at 46hp.it works very well. best performance mod to date. i would recommend it. its better than the hypertech max energy and the jet chip stage 2 that i had before.

you can find 3815 used for a pretty good price. i paid 399$ for mine new a while back. you can find them used for 200$ all over the place. just make sure that they are not vin locked.

Yup I've seen it. Over 300fpt @ 1200 rpm's is impressive for a gasser. My 4.7 only makes about 230 at the same rpm.

My six speed is more efficient at getting that power to the ground though.
I stand by my decision.
