Did you spin on takeoff where he hooked? I would expect you to pull decently as mentioned just due to the converter.
On another note ANY modded truck is cool IMO. However, if your plans are to mod, the HEMI platform with its tuning issues isnt the way to go. It seems like they are making great power with very few basic mods so if that is what you are after then that might be the best option..... or a Lightning
I wanted a fast fullsize SUV. Chevy was and is the only co offering that ability. If only I didnt have such a hard time parting with my money

The 03's are having trouble taking the rev limit flash but the other parts of th eflash are taking. The 04's are taking all parts of the flash just fine. Mine was flashed twice, once with a 6700 rev limiter and pulled timing. Now it's getting more timing pulled and the rev limiter brought down just a little. We are also installing a smt6 that allows full control of fuel and timing along with larger injectors and I already have a aeromotive billet efmu for higher boost. My truck will be ready for pickup in a few weeks so hopefully I'll have some fun videos to post.

There is rumor that there will be a hemi edit type program offered sometime soon.

You guys definitely need some tuning capability. I was in a 03 Hemi Ram RC before the SRT10 so I know Zactly where you are coming from. Superchips was a nice upgrade but nowhere near what's needed for Head, cam or forced induction tuning. Hope someone comes out with it soon for ya.

I really hope they can get the 03 flash to stick, but I am not going to get one until I hear several 03's saying they've got it working perfectly. Until then I'll live with my Superchips programmer and its whoopin .2 improvment it gave me.

Well actually my Superchips tune is a custom tune so it's a little bit better than the handheld tune. They had my truck for about 3 weeks in their shop tuning it for the cam and mods it had. Now that the turbo is on we had the pcm updated and are adding a smt6, an aeromotive efmu and larger injectors. We have great tuning control with this set up. I would only change if I could go to the new FAST xfi or Megasquirt.
