Have you looked at the latest GM and Ford (and Import) programming
utilities lately (even covering the '03+ models)? Where can I download
the programming utility for a Dodge? Where can I call to alter settings
on my PCM with easily obtainable software (shareware in some cases)?

FAST and Accel are way above what Superchips can do with their
programmer...you of all people should know that. That's not a
comparison.

You're right, there's nothing wrong with SD...as long as you can tune it
properly, but Mass Air is much easier to tune for the daily driver with
bolt-ons (S/C, Injectors, Cam, Heads, Intake) than SD. Look at how many
tuning problems you've had with your setup.

Compare the tools available to the public (and not the $1000+
programmable systems) and you'll find huge differences in between DC and
the other Domestics. I guess DC/Dodge is too proud, or ignorant/blind,
or they need to work with their vehicle owners (like GM and Ford do).
Call up GM Motorsports (or FMS) and they'll talk your ears off...does
Mopar Performance do that? Nope - 1/2 the time they tell you "you can't
do that" and the other times they just read the catalogs over the phone.
Don't get me wrong...I love my Mopars, but the end-user tools available
aren't up to snuff with their competitions.

Where ya been, Bernd. Code was released last year. What do you think
Superchips is using to develop their new Dodge tuner?

Nothing wrong with speed density either. The popular FAST and Accel
stand alone systems do just fine and both are speed density based for
the Dodge.
