Default Tuners

Seems that the Superchips claims the most hp and torque gains, but I really like the tunes that have the dash mounted monitor so you can watch whats going on.. Torn between the max hp gains or watching whats going on like the Diablo tuners lol any input would be great! Thanks!

I wound't chase the HP numbers too much .... any difference between the the tuner's HP numbers won't be felt by your butt dyno, for example +15hp vs +23hp. So I definitely wouldn't let the HP be your deciding factor. I like Superchips because of the transmission tuning. Hands down, its the best you can buy in a tuner. Plus, if you get the custom transmission tuning, you can decrease the torque management which will make shifting nice and firm. If the monitor is your selling point though, the Bully Dog or Diablo would be the way to go.

The best part of my Superchips was how it woke up the transmission in my 05 Dakota. It took away the sloppy granny shifting and moved the shift points so I wasn't in 4th by the time I hit 25mph. The power addition was nice, but I can't say it was anything that I ever noticed.

From my own experience I highly Recommend HEMIFEVER tuning with a DiabloSport T1000


On the Dyno I saw gains of 25-35hp between 3300-4600rpm and
dropped my quarter mile from a 14.953 @ 91.7mph to a 14.34 @ 95.5mph
0-60 went from a 6.4sec to a 5.84sec
Plus you get the diablosport to have the flashy readouts
Best of both world in my opinion..

Anyone know if hemi fever can do tunes with elevation in mind? I went to their site and see no contact info. Maybe it's just my phone not showing it but I donno. I am a new ram owner meaning new to dodge and it is a new truck (leftover 14). Also anyone have any warranty issues after install and return to stock? Thanks

I was wondering that myself. I can barely spin tire off the line and was wondering if that had something to do with it. Also my window sticker said no slip axle instead of limited slip.

Thats because of traction control, i heard u can press and hold the button for like 8 seconds and it temporarily disengages it untill your tires spin up to 30mph

I can turn it off and it will stay off until I turn it back on or shut off the truck. The light will be on the dash when it's off. On and off it doesn't spin. I have had it chirp going into 2nd with it on and off but it does have some loose stuff there. It will spin on dirt no problem and TC kicks in when it's spinning for a second and will kick in quicker when the back end starts kicking out.

A lot of people say the ABS light comes on when TC is disengaged but I've never had that happen.
