TUNING VALUE

[ThunderMug95]

Theres a lot of truth to that. I’d 100% trade the Vararam for a 6.4 manifold/injectors. Thats a no brainer!
I need to check my IAT with the Vararam and see where that stands against a stock airbox and a CAI that sits on the fenderwell.

The beauty of the 6.4 intake is it's longer intake runners that create torque under the curve Dave. A 6.4 intake and a set of long tubes with a tune,will make you think you're driving a whole differant truck.The torque increase under 3500 rpm will put a big **** eating grin on your face.If you can keep your boot out of it,they'll also give you a nice gain in milege,probably not enough of gain to pay for themselves unless you run them out past a 100,000 miles though.

Oh do I need to win even a small bit of the 649...LOL

Looking at many many threads I beg to ask. Is the purchase of a new PCM plus a Diablo tune and install really worth all the cost and effort?
It seems first off the expense is considerable for what is gained.
THe problems encountered are many and reported as time consuming and frustrating.

There are many questions left on the table if you make the jump.
What about the consumer who does not want all the dials and read outs..just give me an honest assessment of the value to my basically stock trucks performance.

Can I get feedback pro and con on these questions..
Appreciate any input...no disrespect intended to Diablo or Tuners..just want to do my homework before making a costly decision...thank you

Having dealt with both Diablo and Holley (before they merged) - but I'd go someplace else. I've had my old dodge tuned for over 15 years and both perform well...but when you need support NEITHER of these companies are very responsive. I can't even get Holley to verify what was supposed to be shipped in one of their exhaust system boxes, and when I had issues with Diablo they said "too bad you bought it from one of our dealers so we can't interfere"...so good luck!

Unreal!...thanks

Don't waste your money on a Diablo Dave,the good local tuners are all HP tuners now.Spring for HP. CCMR in Edmonton supposedly can unlock your PCM now.I haven't tried out their unlock,but i know a few guys who are using their unlocked PCM's and say they're as good as anybodies unlocked pcm.

I'm using HP tuners with my PCM unlocked through their service. Haven't had any issues. Got a custom tune locally, night and day difference.

Dave i'd use their unlocking service,but i don't know if i'd use their dyno tuning services.They don't have a very good rep on the Jeep or Car pages.I've known Chris at CCMR for quite awhile,and like him,and i've had my truck on his portable dyno a couple times at carshows to help get the ball rolling for him,but i won't let him touch the tune.He knows Zelinsky tunes my truck,and has admitted he wouldn't be able to get more out of it,so he doesn't touch the tune ,we just use my truck to get the ball rolling at carshows and get guys interested in getting dyno numbers.

Before I do any tuning/dyno i will be calling you Rick for direction. Performance Plus here in Saskatoon has a good rep for tuning I hear.

Theres a fancy speed shop here in Richmond, VA, National Speed, that does a lot of Hemi dyno tuning on blown motors. Interesting…
Buddy of mine does test and tune nights at the strip, I may join him one night. Its a curiosity.
