Yea... I'm sure I'd be really popular over there. Do you think they'll renounce their Dodge loyalty and all buy GM?

LOL ... you didn't provide any exclusions or anything.

I will say when I was all bolt ons, I could spin the tires halfway through first and around a turn if I was lucky enough and slowed down enough. That was even with the TT3000 too, so all the intake/exhaust guys who say traction is a major issue are doing something wrong. Either get some tires, or stop lying one or the other.

I would go over to DTW, but I am banned from the site.

And Y2k you are exactly right the transmission felt terrible in it. Everytime it would shift it seemed like it would slow down. I am going to tell my brother about the trans flash so hopefully it will help his truck out. You can tell there is a lot of TQ management in those trucks.

on dry pavement she will brake them loose. in the rain it is totally insane. the reason my truck was so slow this weekend my TC is gone it gets worse every time i drive it. The tranny is shifting and acting like a piece of crap. plus after i changed my plugs i didnt completely retune with the diablo.

While I still think the T/H mode in my Silverado was better, this new program really helped how the truck feels when driving now. It has better pedal response, shifts a little better and doesn't seem to bog down while trying to downshift. Seems to make the truck peppier so I'm thinking it also tweeked the PCM for performance too, they're just not saying that.

Question, What is the "TMR" mod every HEMI owner talks about? I've heard 5 tenths in reduction on the E.T., and the mod is free?
