SCT Tunes

I just got my 04 Durango this month, I'm new to the hemi world I've owned a Cummins all my life
I'm planning on putting throttle body, CAI, headers, true dual the exhaust, and put a tuner on her nothing to special you know
I just had few questions on something's
First is I want to get an SCT Tuner but idk can you download tunes online or from another member here or would I have to purchase the tuning program?
Also throttle body are there any specific brands that do well with the 04? I can't find anything really
And also CAI I've heard either K&N or Vortex is the way to go, is that true?
Last thing is the headers, are the I think it's JBA shorties, are those the only headers that will fit on the D?

Thanks for any input, just trying to get a little extra from the down tuned stock hemi


2004 Hemi Durango, Thrush dual exhaust the rest is all stock

There is a member on here, hemifever, that does custom SCT and Diablosport tunes. Send him a message for more information.

As far as a throttle body, I am running a 85mm ported throttle body from Moes-Performance, a supporting sponsor on here.

For the intake anything will get the job done. Volant seems to be top of the line. I run an Airaid system. I've also ran the K&N FIPK.

JBA or gibson for headers, but I've been told that gibson headers are junk. Can't go wrong with JBA headers. I run their stainless non-coated version.

Congrats on getting a D. You've pretty much listed the basic mod list and D4L gave you all the answer.
For the intake I'd suggest the Volant as for our application its the best *overall* for looks/performance/sound.
As far as SCT you can find someone able to tune with it at almost every dyno shop, though Hemifever tunes are well liked and have the backing of the people
The only headers worth getting are the JBA's
The best bang for your buck on a throttle body would be from Moes Performance, and Matt can help you get your hands on all the parts your looking for at a great price.

SCT works great on the '04 models. Just getting the throttle more responsive makes my 87 tune feel much better than stock.
