I know nothing or less about tuners to open with. My neighbor just bought a Diablo tuner and tuned his Pontiac g8, said he could add another vehicle for 150$, is this even an option for my 2013 hemi, if so what would I need?

Nothing but give him a $150 for the extra tuning license. Its easy & cheaper than buying another hand held programmer. I tuned my truck, the neighbors, my friends & soon to be my wife's Grand Cherokee like this

You might consider a cold air intake and a freer flowing exhaust to take advantage of the programming that is available through the programmer.

And...consider a custom tune. You'll have to borrow the programmer to log your truck's parameters, email those logs to a tuner like Hemifever or Jay Greene, they'll tweak the tune file and send it to you. You load it and log again. You'll do this two or three times.

Why do I recommend a custom tune? While the "canned tunes" available in the programmer are nice, the custom tunes are head and shoulders above the canned tunes. They really, really wake the truck up.

Thanks for advice, exhaust is on the list for this summer. Been stalking carven and magnaflow, don't want loud just better. Not really trying to race, but I figured why the hell not if I can get decent performance gains, and a little more power in my right foot.

If your doin an exhaust for performance,a cat back or just a muffler will give you no gains...Changeing the headers and adding cat back will..

My response was kind of a run on now that I 're read it, the canned tune was what I meant will be for little better performance,
The exhaust is more just for my ears. Hate how quiet stock is, but getting a lil off topic. Thanks
