I've heard that BullyDog programmers is the best for mopar but I want to keep looking around, would like some HP and Torque gains but I know it won't be like major upgrades. Any suggestions on what programmer to run?

I run a DiabloSport I2 with a Hemifever custom tune. I am very happy with it.

I ran a similar set up, using a DiabloSport Predator and a BAC custom tune on my 2007 5.7L MegaCab. I very much liked that tune as well.

Lastly, I run a DiabloSport Predator with a PRE custom tune done on the dyno on my 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8.

While the individuals who did the tuning vary, the common element has been the DiabloSport programmers. I like the versatility, programming options and results they produce.

X2 on the Diablo. I've had a DS Intune for a few years and have been happy with it.

Superchips tend to be had for $150-$200, and are simple, if you don't want a custom tune that is. I'm happy with my SC 3865.

Diablo definitely. My buddy had a bullydog on his 2008 ram, started running like ****, took it to a garage, they uninstalled the bullydog and it has ran fine since..

If you aren't modifying much or going with a custom tune, then Superchips. More mods/custom tune, Diablo.

I had the DS inTune on my new 5.0 with a custom tune, I liked it a lot. I've been stuck with the old FlashPaq on my Ram, about all it's good for is changing the tire size and bumping up the speed limiter.

On an 05 you should've been able to have all kinds of fun with the trans tuning (unless you didn't buy it).

I agree with everyone sporting diablo, I'm going to get a custom tune for mine soon. I just hope hemi fever can do a 91 octane tune because I live in crappy gas California.

Yep, he can. Just let him know what you plan on running. He can tweak further once you load his initial tune and do a data log. And again if you add other performance mods, etc....all for the price you pay up front.

I owe him a data log to adjust shift points, that's the only thing wonky right now...

I forgot to add that a have a predator, can I data log with that old tuner? I'd really like to take advantage of my bolt on's, tweak the tranny and disable my mds.
