Lol im not sure exactly where he is from but it can be done simply through Email. I think thats how he does it is through email but it wont be near as difficult as the Tuner you are trying now.
And idk about you but i know No one that makes tunes that are local, and if you do find someone what are the odds that they have worked on a HEMI before. Hemifever has worked on Dodges and is based around them. You do how ever have to buy a DSP or SCT tuner(ther is one for sale on here for 75 bucks you would just have to pay for Hemifever to make a tune

Default Vivid linq update

Continuing the saga:
I never got a reply from super chips on my email yesterday so I called and got a hold of Ron @ Superchips whotold me what to do in about 60 seconds. For some reason there instructions lack very important details on how to sync the LINQ to the phone. Once the tuner/app where working I decided to make a couple of 0-60 passed before and after the 87 tune ( just filled up with 87 and need to make in until the trany gets here). I averaged 7.5sec before and after the tune but I could feel a difference after the tune because I had more tire spin and my 0-60mph distances where 20-25ft shorter (All passed made on my skinny BFG Mud Terrains/Back to Back).

A few comments about the tuner/app.
Once Ron told me what to due It was pretty easy to figure out with the instructions.
I really like the real time data features but I found the app/tuner very glitchy. At one point the app locked the tuner up and I had to re-update the tuner with the computer.
Some things just don't work at all like the maintenance reminder and the fuel economy gauge system both either fail to launch or lock up my phone.

I think superchips should sell this thing at half the cost of the normal tuners since it takes twice the brain damage to deal with it...

Once the tranny and my intake gets here I will make some passes just with the 87 tune and new trans then put the intake/91 tune on it and see what it does.

Yes im sure what you are refferning to is EFI live. We do how ever have alot of those guys. And no question is stupid.



At Izero im glad i took the time to run mine on the track without a tuner but i need to get back down there and run one with it in. The only passes ive made are on a strech of road

Default Transmission is in!

Got my truck back yesterday and after some break in driving it seems to be better than normal.
I've notice a difference in the stall and the shifts are definitely snappier as I've have 2 people ride with me to verify.
I've going to work on the intake and I'm burning the last of the 87 out so I can run the new 91 tune.

I'll let you all know when I get it all done.
