Default performance chip???

I have a 2013 R/T Classic Challenger and was looking into purchasing a performance chip. Does anyone know which is the best for an R/T Challenger?

You would want a programmer. No chips for newer cars. Unfortunately, the 2011-up PCM's are encrypted and have not been cracked yet.

Yes, Diablo is currently able to tune the 2011 and 2012's now. Hopefully we'll find out an actual release date during SEMA. It will be released on the Trinity first.

I will be selling the Trinity for $599 and including additional custom tuning in that price.

Do they make a programmer besides the Trinity that will install the tune? My 2012 Yellow Jacket already has all the bells and whistles that the Trinity pretty much has for features, such as 1/4 mile time, 0-60, 60-0 etc. Don't really see the need to spend $600 to install the tune if I don't need to...

Eventually the Intune will be able to tune them but their initial rollout is on the Trinity.

AFAIK the intune will work on a 392, just dont expect the gains the RT's get as they are tuned for 91 octane from the .factory, the RT's wll run on 87 octane. With the 93cai tune, stat, exhaust and drop in k&n, I improved 1.2 seconds and 7mph in 1/8th in my 2010 plane jane RT Took alot of practice, 91 passes and I wore out the sorry RSA's rears in 9800 miles, replaceall with 255's . BFG comp2's.. Wasn't the drag racing , it was the fact that th.,ere is no room to drive around the water box at HMP, and it took two good spins to clean the water off before each pass. my average 60 ft was in the 1,99 to 2.05 second range with the Rsa;s, havent sorted out the Bfg's in 4 passes best was a 2.12 and worst a 2.20, but I did improve a wee bit with every pass., if it's any consolation Iwon all four handily against some decent competition, a new chevy p/u,97 Cobra, 2010-11 Camero ss and the setup race against a Mitsubishi EVO The Camaro misses a shift, The EVO fell asleep at the tree as I. won by 1.27, The closest race was against ther P/U as I go t holeshotted bad with .7 reaction and had to make up two carlengths and win by 2 carlengths.
