Faster than me already.

jdustu, what would matching your best time be?

You guys are in 13's, heck, I'd be happy if I'm in 14's. It sure won't be 13.6.
Is anyone gonna be slower than me?

This thing is a dog out of the hole, so much torque management. I'd pry be happy if I matched my best time, wouldn't mind hitting a 13.6x though.
WOW that truck is fast stock!! I wanna be happy running a 13.....

yea the new dodge trucks are nice, just little end user support. If they had tuning they would be low 13 sec stock.

13.75 at 99.8 The weather was absolutely perfect(DA was pretty much 0), but Lapeer isn't exactly know as a fast track either. It was 13.7-13.9 all day.

That's why I'm SOOO tempted to get the superchips. Guys are reporting some huge improvements, even with the basic tune. I guess some more trans options in that tune are on the way. Guys have had all kinds of issues with the Diablo.

I'd love to see what the R/T would do on 17s with a tune.

Given what I know about GM's using a handneld tuner is not gonna be the best, while it might give you some type of gains its not gonna be as good as what ever livernois does to the dodge products it works on...but I dont really follow how the dodge tuning is coming along, I heard double encrypted and I was like too bad no tunes for you guys

From what I have read, handhelds are very basic like a 2' bump in timing...its a start but nowhere what a full tune would get you...Just getting some TM out would help your 60'

The superchips looks pretty promising, they add 25hp/40tq and adjust shift points while decreasing TM. But I don't think you can do a custom dyno tune. The Diablo has been problematic, but I could have Livernois tune it and be good....it would just cost more.

I actually talked to Rick about it,but like I said, I don't want to mess with the lifetime warranty right now lol.

I feel the warranty but I also feel Livernois would take good care of you, and not give you a dangerous tune.

The bug will bite...give it some time
