Oink Oink

I have had one for ~ a month. I posted this earlier in another thread:

Right now I am running the regular gas flash and there is little difference between that and stock. With the premium fuel, there is a noticable difference, but it still doesn't address torque management, shift points, or the rev limiter. They did figure out how to raise the speed limiter.

That is the wrong engine. We make 390 HP, not 337.

Good point, but it still looks wrong. The Durango only makes 357 HP, the Commander makes 357 as well, and the Ram makes 390 HP - as per Dodge and Jeep websites. The PCM's are different.

Those are chassis dyno's. The stock pull actually looks about about 10 hp higher than what it should dyno at, so I am guessing that thier tune pulls are off by that much as well. According to Diablo, the pcms differ mainly on the tcm side. When I first started the beta program, Hypertech said that they had no plans of doing anything with the tcm files. That means no shift points, and I think that is where most of the torque management stuff is located.

Hypertech did post on another forum that they have a 30 day money back guarantee. They basically said buy it, try it, and if you are not happy get a refund.

I don't understand why there is one programmer for different vehicles that come from the factory with different levels of HP. Are the cams different in the Hemis if the PCM is the same?

You got me. Maybe the other vehicles are detuned????

I haven't looked at the other vehicles' specs to know. When I plug mine in, the intro screen says 2009 Dodge Ram 5.7l Hemi and that's it. It does not list any other vehicles. If you look at the math in the gains section right below the dyno, it would appear that someone threw the thing together in a hurry.

If, and if is a big maybe, Diablo ever gets theirs out I would buy one of those. It seems as if Hypertech rushed to get one out before everyone else.
