hemi is way more efficient. i get about 10 mpg. and they could use the selling point of the "hemi" badging. even though its not really a hemi.

with my superchips im getting close to 14mpg avg on the 87 tune, was getting around 11mpg avg before the tune.
and when i floor it goin 80 it just never seems to run out of power now! plus it fixed my speedo...

as for the lights behind the grille, if i remember right i think dirty dog did a great diy write up on it. cant seem to find it right now, just use the search box

I just installed SP 3815 in my Hemi and I have to say you can defineatly feel the difference. It runs better,shifts better,sounds better,smells better,looks better I think it even fixed my alignment . Seriously I have put tuners on allot of rice burners and I have never noticed such a night and day difference than I did with my truck this morning. Well worth every penny...

Hey guys, will the superchips tuner be recommended for the 5.9 with a paxton sn93 installed?
If not, what tuner should I use?

Thanks.
