welcome to the online world, sounds like an awesome truck....
1) forget the spacer, its useless
2) superchips is the company who makes a flashpaq tuner (#3815) for the hemi. so it is a tuner, no actual chip
3)the Powerwire is on www.airram.com, check it out there

 

First off, Welcome to DodgeTalk!!

Now, the Superchips tuner is probably the best bang for buck mod you can buy for these trucks. It will show noticable power increases and firmer shifts as well. I highly recommend this mod. After that, I would get a set of Longtube headers to compliment your air intake and straight pipe...Pacesetters are the best bang for buck in this category. And both the Superchips, Pacesetter Longtubes, and Powerwire can be bought from www.airram.com. He offers some of the best pricing and service around. Good luck with the new truck and just let us know if you need anything else!!

 

Just curious...

What sets the rumble bee apart from other 1500s? It is mostly just looks?

Just looks. It has a complete body kit, hood scoop, and some interior additions as well.

 

Welcome

You are going to definitely want to get the Superchips flashpaq tuner. It increases your performance and works well with other Mods.

Good luck and Happy Modding

just like the daytona's but we got this kooooolll exhaust that is getting of my truck its not loud at all!

 

Thanks for the warm invite and information.

As for upgrades...Superchip programer first and then...throttle body spacer or a power wire? I appreciate the word on the headers, but I would just end up putting a quiet exhaust on to muffler the sound. I like a little rumble, but my days of screaming down the highway are long gone. I'm looking for mods that I can easily do and undo and headers isn't in that catagory for me right now.

I was also looking at dropping the rear about 2" so it'll sit more even. I'm afraid if I do the 4/2" drop I would lose what little ride the truck currently has. I'm not into bone shaking ride...I'm getting old!!! lol

Have a great day and Merry Christmas!

Oh...how do I set up a gallery so I can also share my pictures?

 

I believe I read some where that if you have the superchips the powerwire doesn't really do anything..Like the others have said the throttle body spacer won't do anything for you at all its just a good paperwieght...You can get a 2-4 drop done and if you set it up right you won't notice anything but a better ride you'll have tons of people recommend you talk to slammed1 about a drop he's a great guy to work with and knows his stuff.. The main reason I want to say don't get drop shackles is because there are alot of people on here who thought they would be happy with just 2" drop shackles me included then after awhile I couldn't handle it any more and did the 2-4 drop.. BTW my daytona is #1133 were pretty close to the same number.

 

Superchips, long tube headers... and a 6.1 cam

 

Welcome to DT!

 

I don't think headers and 6.1 cam fall under his 'easy mods' but I do highly recommend the Superchips flashpaq as others have

 

lol.. its worth a try, we are known for helping others spend money...

 

this is true...I need to stay away from this site (but can't) :SHK:

 

Thanks for all the responses and input. I installed the K&N air filter this morning (couldn't wait for the weekend) and even though I have only owned the truck for a few days, I noticed a difference in throttle response. I haven't noticed a change in sound though under throttle (it sounded fine before).

Not to beat a dead horse...but I would like more input on the throttle body spacer (links supporting or disproving). I showed the truck to a friend of mine yesterday and the first thing he said was "you got to install a TBS." I asked him why and he mentioned power and MPG. He said he had one on his old Dodge truck and he swears by it. Now I don't mean to step on any toes, but, my theory is; if it does not work, I think we would tend to trick ourselves into thinking it did so we can justify the expense and not feel we wasted our money.

Any way...I called one of the local speed shops and asked about the SuperChip programmer. The guy said he sells them, but recommended another brand (Techsomething). He said it was a better unit. I asked him if there were any programmers on the market that allowed "on the fly" programming like some of the BMWs and MB offers. He said there is a new product coming out next month that will run around $625. Has anyone heard of this yet?

Later,

Marty

Oh yeah...I still would like directions on setting up a gallery so I can share some pictures. I would also like to select an avitar...

 

Superchips will really wake it up. There are others like Hypertech (probably the one the guy was talking about) and a soon to be released Bully Dog unit. You'll start all kind of arguements if you ask which one is the best.

As for the TSB, save your money. There are a lot of threads on here about the fact that they do nothing on a port injected engine. They only worked on older throttle body injection engines because the air AND FUEL had a longer straighter path to follow. On our trucks, the fuel isn't added until the air enters the cylinder.

 

Throttle Body - Piece of Junk

I would highly recommend Superchips.
I ran a 15.3 last Saturday with only a flowmaster muffler and a Fram Boost Cold AIrIntake.
I ran a 14.80 with Superchips programmed to 91 tune.

 

Thanks for the opinions. TexasAxMan...thanks for explaining why the TBS is not a mod worth doing. It makes sense now....so much to learn, so little brain power left! lol
