I ran baseline runs with the diablo canned 93 tune vs his baseline custom 93 tune last night and I must say if you thought on settling for diablos tunes I would suggest going with Hemifever and get one custom.

Here's his feedback on the the two separate logs canned vs custom....

Being that you did this on two separate days, the numbers will be skew'd a little. But with the can tune it took 7.3 seconds to do 35 to 75 mph and 12 seconds flat to do 35 mph to 90 mph. With my tune, it took 5.9 seconds from 35 to 75 mph and 9.5 seconds from 35 mph to 90 mph.

A HUGE difference but there were different factors. On the RT that I did last night the runs were the same road and back to back. My tune was .6 quicker in 60 to 100 mph

Looking at the two logs though, you should feel a big difference in power and driveability

Last night the log I ended up sending him was on a bumpy uneven road (cops out like crazy last night on my normal run routes) and with my truck running over 45mins looking for spots to run at around in my area not ideal to get a baseline on his custom tune but still showed some good results.

He made some changes to my tune and resent one this morning so I'm sure when I make a couple of runs to day it will even better than the last. Hemifever works quick as long as you get your logs into him (I've working all week during the day and sending him logs at 9-10pm at night) I'm sure he can evaluate it and resend a new tune or two in a day. He also does tuning to the transmission which is a night and day difference compared to stock and even better than diablo's tunes. The up shifting and down shifting is no longer lazy as stock was....it just grabs the gears and goes.

I will update as I get more logs and retunes in but If I had a tuner 09-11 rams I would suggest getting in contact with Hemifever because his custom tunes are tailored made for you vehicle vs one size fits all like the canned diablo tuned offers.

I just cut a 0-60 in 5.7 secs with his revised tuned he just sent me with 22's....pretty impressive for a CrewCab. Today I'm gonna be swapping out my mopar cai with a vararam intake and swapping my fastman tb (84mm) with ones of Matts (moe's performance) 87mm throttle body.....will report back the results.

UPDATE....


Here are some screen shots from my datalogging.....I started at 25.459 secs and ended at 31.16 secs= 0-60mph in 5.701 secs, Sean from Hemifever is getting this thing moving. Just FYI diablo's baseline ran 6.2 secs and Hemifever's first baseline tune ran a 6.0 flat....now 5.7secs on his first revised tuned, he know's what he's doing for sure.

No but I think I might just have my truck where I want it....gonna start a project on a mustang 5.0 in the spring/summer.

Another update.....
My fastest 0-60 run of the day was 5.579 secs and same log 0-95 run in 13.415 secs all done in 86 degree weather....I think I easily have 13 sec truck at the track LOL

I know the Vararam and 87mm TB pull was at 74 degrees but I also had a Full tank of gas vs 1/4 I had it earlier today.....All I can say is wowthe Vararam and 87mm TB start to pull away after 75mph !!

Most likely I'm gonna do a centrifugal set up (Paxton) seems to be most bang for the buck (6k with 1000id injectors,CAI, and a BAP) relativity cheap compared to a positive displacement sc (6k just for the kit) and turbo setup (8k).... the kicker with the Paxton kit I can take it to 1000hp (when I decide to make it a purely drag car) and most people are putting down low 600rwhp at 8-10psi with the stock pulley and running mid to high 10s but with a converter low tens in the 1/4. I just saw a twin turbo set up put down high 500s with only 5.5# of boost so I guess when that time comes I'll decide either the Paxton SC or a twin Turbo setup but won't start boosting it hard until I get bottom end forged.
