Best Tuner without Unlocked PCM?

[blackopsram]

Looking for something that will give a bump in horsepower and throttle response without having to get an unlocked PCM. I'm not expecting Hellcat power here, but something that will, with the help of an intake and exhaust, wake up the truck a bit. I'm looking at the Pulsar which seems good, but always good to have other options. Thanks.

How about the Hypertech React? It's a plug-in throttle optimizer with different settings. I don't have any plans to try one but wonder if anyone here has?

If I understand the "pedal commander" and other plug-and-play pedal devices correctly, all they do is just fool the computer into thinking you're slamming the gas instead of just easing into it. For example, normal take off is about 30% throttle. The pedal commander, et al., basically tell the computer 50% throttle, making you think there's a response/HP gain when in-fact, it's only fooling the computer. That's how a dealer explained it to me when I was talking about them with my Charger. As far as the Pulsar, I'm unsure. I just wouldn't waste my money on something that plugs in-line with my gas pedal.

they are junk

I have a pulsar and there is a noticeable difference compared to a stock truck even my mechanic couldn't believe the difference

I had a chip that did the same thing in my Trans-am. It cost $30 not $400

Pulsar will be by far your best option

Another satisfied Pulsar customer here. No issues since I put it on a month or so after I got the truck and I keep it in Performance mode because it's just more fun than stock. There's actually a video link somewhere on this forum of a couple who had their '19 Ram dynoed before and after installing the Pulsar, and the results showed a modest gain in HP. I think it was around 30 HP or so.

I'd like to get one but have it programmed to improve the gas milage.

There’s a setting for that, but you have to take it to the dealer. They’ll buy it and you can get a Nissan Leaf

Realistically though, are you trying to force MDS on all the time or something? I have low mpg, because I drive short distances and sit at lots of lights. Give it 30 min on the highway at 80 and it goes up from 10-11mpg to 15-16.
