Hennessey has a new computer (actually a complete new MOPAR computer
with custom programming) for the Durango 5.9 (which I should have in my
hot little hands soon) which is tuned to take advantage of premium fuel,
and the improved flow from the headers and intake in his "stage I" kit.
He just re-flashes the computer if you'd like to add a blower later
(stage II - 350hp), or blower and heads (stage III - 400 hp). Nice kit,
and is much cleaner than the Jet "barnacle" approach. It looks just like
the MOPAR computer to the DRB II, and you actually use the DRB to code
in the vehicle serial number and mileage. I have one for the Viper, and
it gets rid of a bunch of other stuff like the stupid 1-4 skip shift,
seatbelt warning buzzer, as well as fattening up the fuel curve for the
intake and header mods...
Wonder if he'd be interested in doing one for the Dak?

trevor,
Dream on... Mopar has made NO commitment to ever having a new HP engine
management computer for the 97-98 OBDII systems. As for the 99s... The
code/system for the 97-98 models is VERY different from 96 and earlier.
In
adddition, according to knowledgable sources, It would require burning
your
vehicle ID in the computer along with other salient data when changing
over
. "Interceptor" modules like the JET (only one out on the market so
far)
are probably the only way to change things for a while until other
aftermarket groups step up to the plate. Im still hoping Mopar comes
out
with a new comp, but I think the chances are slim.
