My first impression of the PCM is good. Seems to increase top end power
pretty decent.
I'm still trying to find out if the Dyno Jet will be available Next weekend.
The 4.7L Auto trans. uses a TCM as other folks have noted previously. I
talked to Mike Leach Co. about that a little. Right now they don't have the
capability to customize the TCM. What does this mean? From what I understood
the TCM controls the Auto shifting, unlike the previous Mopar PCM's.
So if you have an Auto trans behind your 4.7L, don't expect any shift point
upgrades from the HP PCM. I suspect its only a matter of time before Mike
Leach figures out how to upgrade the TCM, if anyone can do it they can. If
you guys with Auto keep inquiring to Mike Leach about the TCM you might get
him going on it!!

>>>I ordered up the limited slip rear from the dealer yesterday. I get to
keep
my 3.55 ring and pinion. the one tyre frier had to go. damp roads an
inlcline and a stoplight were killers. the thing would just spin the rear
right on the oil/water left behind. I figured
with the winters the NE can get (snowy rain) it would help. What snow tires
are people planning on using on the 15X8 wheel?
What are peoples impressions on the performance computer for the 4.7L? does
it do anything with the mooshy shifts? what else has mopar released? they
seem to be slow to update their catalogs and website.>>>>
