Procharger is dragging their feet on 2012 tuning even though they're gonna use Diablo as the tuning device. I talked to them a while back and they said their 09-10 kits won't fit an 11-12 truck.
WTF? What, if anything, changed? If nothing I need that to be a concrete factual answer because if Sean can tune it himself I'm not waiting anymore.
I have to re-pipe it to fit my 6.1 intake manifold anyway so I don't care about the piping....plus I'm swapping to long tubes so I'll need some tune refinement anyway.

SO....did anything under the hood change on a 5.7 ?

I know this isn't a definitive answer but so far from everyone I've talked to about parts, other than the throttle body ('13) all years are interchangeable. So maybe they haven't created a baseline tune for those years. I'd talk to Sean directly and see if there's something he could do to get you started.

I emailed Sean tonight. If he can tune it...it's on.

I thought it was mainly computer changes in the PCM?

Likely, with the recent advent of tuning for '11s and '12s. I could see there being perameters Sean wouldn't have access to which would be up to Procharger to create... Not trying to rain on your parade.
I'd LOVE to see this happen!

You and me both...I'm dying for some boost over here.
Sean said he wasn't sure so I guess I'm still stuck waiting.

So obviously it will fit, its a matter of tuning, so couldn't you take it to a reputable shop that works with the Diablo tuner and let them install and tune it ?

If hemifever is unsure of tuning it I doubt they're would be any others out there willing to dive into it

Yeah I suppose you're right, Sean knows his stuff that's for sure. I guess I was just thinking with something like this it may be an easier feat to tune a vehicle that the shop has possession of so the tuner is seeing what's going on with the truck as its happening, but I'm far from an expert in this area.

You can, I have been watching Gearz on Speed TV with Stacey David. He put a Procharger on a 2012 Ram Express. If you check out this link it will take you to the site. Gearz Episodes: Drag

scroll down a little and on the right side you will see the episode segment, he starts talking about it on the first video about 3 min in. He goes into the set up and what you need to do. Hope this helps.
