Is the difference really that noticeable with only like one or two mods or even stock when running the tuner?

Im hopin that the extra power might save me some mpgs in long run. however the 2 sets of rear tires in 14000 miles was a pain in the wallet. I just want to eat some raptors and this will put me over the edge i hope.

Yes its worth it. 93 hemifever tune, K N drop in, 180 t stat. Noticeable difference. Two months, 6000 miles, I need new tires. Tune was first thing I bought for my truck. With the crappy 3.55 gears, I get around 14.7 mpg on my daily 90 mile commute to work. Hemi foot.....

I would add a 180* t-stat and catch can, and you should be golden for Raptor embarrassing :favorites13:

Right up the road from you. B.R. originally. Live by Bass Pro right now. Flown in a few helicopters out of Houma into the Gulf....

Got a bunch of Louisiana Boy in here.
Im in Prairieville...There's actually a lot of people from Louisiana on here.


With regards to the tune. The canned tunes are OK. Not really worth it but the custom tunes are where it's at.

Just finished loading my updated 93 oct Hemi Fever tune. Had to reflash to stock after 3 attempts. Did not adjust fan settings or throttle boost, shift parameters. Of course, it just started drizzling rain....

Doesnt give you performance but help keeps it up, catches the oil that would normally be blown back into the intake where in time in builds up and starts to rob performance

I installed the Hemi Fever 91 a couple of weeks ago. There is a little difference, but not a lot. However, I have the miserable 3.55 gears. Ain't nothing gunna help with those sunzabitches. There's only one thing that will make my truck even reasonably satisfying, and that's put in 4.10s. The truck should have the gears installed by the end of the week. Then, CAI, HF 91 and 4.10s. It ought to scoot. I'll post an update as soon as the gears are in.

Oh, I had very little trouble getting the tune installed and I am not very good with computers. I have an old computer, and live alone. So if I can do it......
