Oh, and I did run 14.30's on 20's and no programmer..

Did anyone ever figure out how to crack the ECU's, or are you guys runnin some sorta piggy back? Last I heard ( and keep in mind this was awhile ago ) you Dodge boys were havin one hell of a time with that.

I think the HEMI guys are gonna be in for a pleasant surprise come March/April. I have heard stories of tuning capabilities coming from a well known tuning outfit.

I just heard the same, but waiting patiently...........thats one reason I decided to just drive mine and forget about any more mods until something can be done a little better. We'll see, you know the aftermarket has promised us so much and with 75% of it being useless, I tend not to believe it until I see it.

What is funny is you can use the term muffler bearings and be lagit. There are bearings in the the "butt turbos" and most people use them as the muffler!

KRC Performance and B&G, Superchips w/HPTuners, are working on it... However it seems that the 03's ( mine ) are the very worst to try to hack due to the amount of security that Diamler Chrysler installed in the PC... there were ( if memory serves ) 33 different PCM's for that one application ( 03 Ram w/Hemi ) and in each of those PCM's there were 22 different lookup tables for fuel and timing of which any one could be used..... Now WTF is that???? Of what I have researched I may not even be able to pull out my separate PCM's ( engine and tranny ) and install a later model single PCM even with a reharness..... ( this was done on ColtSteele's truck with a simple swap of an 05 into an 04 truck... did not work ) I may wind up with a piggy back... not really what I want to do... I am waiting on HP Tuners software to see if it will work on an 03... If not I may dump the truck for a new Challenger when they come out..

I'm suprised that your 3000RPM TC alone, wasn't
enough to beat a stock QC5.7L Ram.
I have no traction with the stall . The generals cant hold the 5.3 fury
