Default Which performance chip is best?

I have a 2004.5, it just turned 70,000, so I now want to put a performance chip unit on it. I am leaning towards the Edge, but also hear Banks and Bully Dog makes nice units. I will also install a K & N cold air intake on at the same time, and 5" exhaust in the spring. I use my truck for pulling around my Mopar muscle cars and snowmobiles in the winter.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you

I can only speak for the BullyDog - it is INCREDIBLE!

I run the Edge with Attitude, it has the most safety features to protect your ride, how ever Bully Dog gives you more power, I did alot of research before putting mine in. I reccomend the Edge, I have heard Banks is a great one also, but the Bully Dog is just to hard on your engine from the info I was able to come up with. either way you will be glad you did it, the power is crazy!

I second the EDGE Attitude/Juice. Not the most power, but feel the safest!

That 580 is on top of the ~600? = 1180?

I never realized how much torque that really is till now.


WOW

yup, if the stock clutch or atuo could handle it, and you have a pusher pump just to supply the fuel one would top out just shy of 500horse and 1150 torque at the wheels.

Smarty is the only one that I know of that does not leave a trace. Check it out at Mads Electronics.
