so it looks like at times there is roughly an increase of 50 HP and TQ to the ground with a simple programmer??? seems too good to be true but I guess possible with this beast of an engine. wonder if gas mileage will take a dive?

why not, the 08 has 345 HP and all of a sudden we have 390 the next year? What did Dodge do?

My guess would be that they took out some of the de-tuning that they do to save the transmissions.

One of the many problems that I see with these after market tunes, is the possibility of taking out the tranny. I suspect that dodge will be attempting to detect these type of tuning changes, especially for those of us with the lifetime powertrain warranty.

Default Lifetime Warranty

Has Diablo mentioned if this leaves a footprint on the Hemi PCM? I too would be worried about losing my warranty. I would love to have that extra HP. The thread mentions the traction control being reduced 50%, what about the torgue management?

I had read somewhere that anytime there is a flash a code comes up which I read could be erased before you go to the dealer. I mentioned this to Diablo and they were not surprised and would look in to it.

My mistake on the TC it should have been the TM.

There is a code that comes up every time I flash with my Hypertech. It does not illuminate the CEL. It can be erased. I was a beta tester for the Hypertech and did not notice the code until they asked me to flash an update. When I plugged up to flash, it read the code and I had to clear it before continuing. After I flashed the update, it was there again and I cleared it. When I flashed back to stock for a trip to the dealer, it was there again, and I cleared it. The dealer flashed my pcm as part of the service (rapid response), and did not say anything about me having done anything to the PCM. When I got back home and flashed back to the Hypertech tuning the code came up again, and, again, I cleared it.

What is the typical difference in features between the two?
