I have long tube headers and the SC has been just fine. Plus, in MY particular year, DSP doesn't support my transmission, biggest reason I've not installed my cam yet. IMO the tranny tunes and line firmness alone is worth the cost of a tuner.
Unless you plan to do a cam, heads or any other MAJOR engine mods, you'll never need a custom tune and spending high $ for one would be a waste of money.
A "canned tune" tuner, be it SC or DSP (who DOES support your year for the tranny) would be a fantastic mod...

Ok I e-mailed the guy in the classifieds about the tuner. I asked him if it was unlocked this was his response.
I am going to have to check on this lock/unlock thing cause now I am not sure. I know the screen comes up and states returned truck back to stock tune, and I thought that was all that was needed to use it on another truck. but nothing that states locked or unlocked,Do you know how to check and make sure this thing is unlocked
How would he or I know if this is ready to go or not.
Thanks

Well I did purchase that tuner from the classifieds. He sent me some pictures of the display and it says Returned to Stock. So that is on the way. I was also looking at a leveling kit I was thinking about this one.

Anybody had a 2.5 installed. Im just worried about the death wooble. I have a buddy thats got an 97 2500 and man that is horrible. I think he has a 3 inch and 37's. I will just have my 33's that I have now and its smooth as can be.
Thanks

Ok so I got the tuner in the mail on saturday. I first ran an update and got that all taken care of. I installed in on performance tune and WOW. What a difference it made. I now need some help with the programming it. I have read what others have put theres at but I figured I would ask. Once again its an 06 hemi cold air and exhaust. What should I put the settings at. I want more power but im also not gonna drive it hard all the time. This is my everyday driver so I dont wanna hurt her. Is it possible to have it on 91 octane and get better mileage too? I usually put 87 in it should I just go with that tune? Or will the price be equal if I go with the 91. Once again any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Aaron

Yes , stop using 87 octane your gonna get detonation which will ruin your everyday ride!!!You can set the peramiters too moderate, and that will be just what you need. Shift patterns on the tranny i'd up an rpm or three. As for the other stuff. Your not heading to the drag strip so leave it be, and there is no need for a higher oct fuel imo. However get a premium fuel, no citgo,or valero crap, you want shell or sunoco. That stuff will make a difference. (that you will notice)

Well the first test drive I was wot and it hit 6700 rpm and I really dont want to be that high. I just don't know where they should be at. I read around 6100 or so does that sound right?
