Went to Shane's (MOPAR) last night to pick up my predator that I had ordered the weekend before. I sent it to his house because I was having delivery problems at my new apartment here recently.

After a long struggle to get just the calibration update, because of computer problems and then not being able to get the internet to hook up, finally got to install the tune. I used the CAI 91 Perf can to and modified it. I modified the Rim & Tire Size, Shift Firmness, and Speed Limiter. I dont know much about the HEMI motors so I didnt mess with anything else. Installed the tune and went out driving. I had one of my roommates with me that isnt really into cars and doesnt know much about them besides what they are and the basic upkeep. We started to head out of our complex onto the main road. I was slowly rolling into the median and then stomped it! It freaking barked 2nd and 3rd and my roommate was like, "WOOOOHOOO, HOLY SH*T I don't know about cars but I know your car has changed!" LMAO He drives a Honda Accord, because it gets good gas mileage and it used to be his mom's. After last night though I have him wanting a HEMI now. LOL

I was sold on the Predator when I had my 3.5 but it has definitely opened my eyes in the 5.7. If anyone knows of any other little things I can change to up it some more please let me know.

Interesting... I'd like to hear some more details about it. Bully Dog sent me some new files to try out last night and I'm thinking it may be time to try something else...

I felt the same way when I got my first predator,then I felt it again when it got supercharged on top of that. Now for a blown 440!!!!

play with that for a while and then copy and save your stock tune save one for yourself and send the other off to one of the custum tune places and let them tweek the tune and send it back to you and run that one and then send them the data log files and the tune back and they will dial it in even more and that 5.7 HEMI will get up and run . i cant think of the company names right off hand i will find and post for you .its worth the little extra cash cause the canned tuned is alright but you get a pro custum tune and you will feel the difference ....

good luck

I'm still paranoid about hooking mine up. Had mine for several months and just got the program downloaded, so it is supposed to work on my car NOW. With all those initial problems, figured IF it messed the car, I'd really be screwed. I'm NOT computer savy! Congrats on getting your's hooked UP ~ someday for me!!!

R U sure, Mark??? LOL
Other problem I had is which car to use in on; the SRT or R/T; drive the R/T way more!
