i ordered the diablo predator for my truck today but im starting to second guess it because the sc vivid may be a better option to wait for, so does anyone have any suggestions? down the road i will probably put some h.o. cams in and headers but nothing much more than that. will the superchips be ok for the h.o cam? i know alot of people use the sct with the 4.7 but its not available for 2007s.

Can you use superchips with a cam ? Or would I have to get custom tuned? If that's the case I guess I should stick with diablo

There are a few guys running small 4.7 cams with SC. What cams have you looked into for your truck? Last I have heard were the cores for those trucks were getting hard to come by. You could do the 08 intake and a set of H/O cams for some pep.

I've looked into the cams and I've seen the 08 intake I may do that down the road, I just wonder If a set of h.o cams would be good with the superchips or if I should give the diablo a try.

You can use the h/o & the 206 cams with SC. I haven't heard of any other cams run with SC. Nut you will see much more gain with a custom tune and these cams.

Ok that's good to know I guess I'll stick with the diablo and see how it works so later on I can get custom tuned

Does DSP offer full trans support? I have heard on more then one occasion the trans support of SC is worth its weight in gold.

It doesn't recognize it on windows vista. To get it to work you have to take it to best buy or something and have them find it manually.

Once you get it on a windows xp or windows 7 computer it's simple.

The Dakota RUNS HARD with 218/224 Crane regrinds and Superchips. It even runs on the 91 octane tuning without the PSC1. The PSC1 just helps correct the fueling.

Talk to Dave, Whitelightning on NADodge....He has CMR software and set up Jay's JMK47 TCM in his truck. All I can say is the CMR software for the 07 and 08 Rams has MUCH MORE potential than the current Superchips.
