I am wanting to get a programmer for my 09 Ram but I'm not sure which one I should go with. I was leaning towards the superchip flashpaq but after further research I really like the CTS2. I like how it has a digital display. Other than just looks, is the CTS2 any better? Im not necessarily looking for fuel efficiency but instead performance upgrade. Also if there is any other brand you recommend let me know.

Trinity with custom tune is what I would do. The canned tunes are not worth it. I have tried hypertech and super chips.

Why do you like the trinity better? I do like the dashboard monitor and thats why I was going to go for the CTS2.

Most of the top tuners use Diablo. If you want to run a custom tune it's easier to use the Diablo.

Okay that makes sense. Im not going to go too into tuning it manually but id like to have that ability if I ever did want to. I still do like the CTS2, has anyone heard anything bad about them or are the diablo ones just better for performance?

I think the custom tune is only a little bit more when you buy right from people that do the tunes like Hemifever so it seems like a no brainer to me. Canned tunes don't do it for me.
