I outright asked him if this was the first 22 ECM he turned and he said no.
You don't have to be the one understanding and changing the calibrations though. HPTuners is only the software, then you buy the tune you want from Hemifever, Greene racing, i.e. reputable tuner guys, or bring everything to a dyno session and you can watch over their shoulder and learn a few minor things if you want. It also has the full diagnosis capability. There has never been anyone who regrets a quality aftermarket calibration, regardless of the peak horsepower increase. The throttle response, drivability, and trans tune is worth it's weight in gold.
After warranty, of course I'll do it, my fifth vehicle.
Yeah after warranty I'm going to be all over it.You don't have to be the one understanding and changing the calibrations though.

That said, it costs $ to unlock the PCM, buy the software, buy the tune, and lose your powertrain warranty, so I understand it isn't for everybody. It's not for me right now, my wife said so.
Thanks for the info.
Yes I opted for the TCM tune add on. I did install the 91 canned tune. It felt Ok, but after installing the HemiFever stuff I noticed a big difference .. I had experience with Shawn in the past. He provided a tune for my Challenger that I did autocross racing with. I was pretty impressed back then and he didnt disappoint this time.
That's great to hear.
Dez Racing in Seekonk MA would probably do a tune. Yes its nothing more than the S&B. I will probably do exhaust at some point. Probably the Borla Touring.
Just emailed them. I also found another place a little more local to me called Tailored Chassis Solutions, LLC and reached out to them, but it looks like they do more on smaller and complex engines (which doesn't mean they will not do a v8).
Do you already own a handheld tuner?
Depends where you live too. Could probably count on 2 hands how many TRX exist in my entire state and people don't tend to drive high powered cars around here, all SUVs, and cheap ones at that.
I actually do have a handheld tuner. The diablo tune I3 to be exact that I used for my 2019 Ram 1500. It has the stock 2019 ram 1500 tune in it because I sold the truck with the tune in it. lol
If it was an i3 platinum you can just buy an additional vin license if you didn't put the truck back to factory and sold it with the tune.
Mines the normal i3 looks like an SCT tuner that I bought from Moes performance back in 2019 for my previous ram. Would that work.
What's the part number on the back?
He gets TRXs from all over, even other countries. Has had people ship them to him, in car haulers, to tune. He offers packages up to 1100hp. the overseas ones, usually Russia sine he's Russian, they send him money he buys the truck, runes itz then ships it to them.Depends where you live too.
