I have to show my ignorance here. Is something like this reversable? In other words, should I need to take Minerva in for warrenty work, can I return the ecm to a stock program so they won't know?

Yes. When you flash your PCM your original is stored on the programmer and can be put back.

I will not be touching mine.

I have a Diablo Sport Predator for my other car.
First thing it does is store the factory tune so you can load it back in when you take it in for warranty work.

Diablo to me.. 45-60 days last month.
The Hemi VCT is a whole new animal.

If they bust some of the torque managment you may not much increase in HP at the flywheel but you will be able to feel the 390 horses and 400 lbs of torque that are bottled up now.

On the superchips, the biggest improvement to me was improved tranny functioning: proper downshifting and much firmer shifting. Hopefully the new programmers will work in a similar way on the '09s.

Just out of curiosity:

Why?
I know you haven't picked the truck up yet, but you probably drove one.
Doesn't the tm put a ***** in your chain?
