I agree! I've read the problem is with Daimler Chrysler themselves, they are not helping the aftermarket at all. They are keeping their tuning secrets to their PCM's locked up, the HPP and other guys are having to crack the codes. Which I think is bull, GM and FORD help the aftermarket, why not DC? The rumor is the DC has a performance PCM they will market when other companies start coming out with tuners.

Y2K - Do you know the schedules off hand for Sac and Infineon. I am about 20 min from Infinion and about an hour from Sac. I know Infineon used to be Wednesday nights in the summer, never ran at Sac. are they open year around?

Here's their websites, I beleive the both have Wednesday night fun drags, you can go to Sac on Saturdays for "test & tune" but it's more expensive. Infineon might be done now and Sac ends at the end of November.

Sad? I wanted to drive something different so I bought a Ram, I actually like it better than my Silverado. It handles better, brakes better and overall it's more of a pleasure to drive. I'm not saying that to start a pissing match, that's not my style, I'm just stating how I feel about both the trucks.

Hey F8L! I was hoping I would have seen you there. I wanted to check out the STS system of yours and see the look on all of the ricers faces when a big heavy truck turns 12's. The ricers out numbered the rest of the racers 3 to 1, I guess days of the V8 may be over. Maybe I'll see you there next time, take care!

Good times, you could start taking off some items like the sway bar and spare tire to help out your times some, and if your into hanging out at the track for long amounts of time let her cool down for a couple hours, it helps me out a lot, I see gains of .2-.3 running cold.

The dam pcm sucks, it does indeed hurt mods, more on the intake side of things then the exhaust side. There are rumors of mopar coming out with a new pcm for the hemi soon, but right now it's just a rumor.

Hey Toe, you got some respectable times there yourself.
I also HAAAAATE the stoooopid DC computer crap! It just killed me while building the motor for my brother that there is just about nothing out there for the 5.7L Hemi.
Oh well, hoping that the STS kit is coming in soon and will let me take back family bragging rights again. Peace.
