i have a jet performance stage 2 chip in my 4.7 quad cab dakota 4x4. it makes a huge difference when i tow mopar muscle cars on my trailer. you can feel the difference even when im not towing. im not sure i can recommend one though because im questioning if it is screwing up my computer or o2 sensors. see my other recent post. .

a real hemi by purists standards is the 426 from the 60-70s and yes i mean todays hemi is not a real hemi in that sense. hemispherical head designs have been around for a while but only one worked like the 426. yeah nothing came close to the old 426. i was a classic street rodder back in the late 60s/early 70s. i used to watch gene snow when he was getting started back in the old days when funny cars were 3 feet off the ground and had big injectors sticking up out of the hood and the spectators stood down there with their toes on the edge of the track. the class was a/fx meaning a/factory experimental. typical top funny car speeds were in the 160s to 170s. the advent of the hemi pretty much ruined the whole scene. the classic backyard hot rod was obsolete overnight even if it was a 427 and all the tender loving care put into them was just wasted against the big-money hemi cars especially if they were sponsored. in the early/middle 70s gene snow put together a new hemi dodge. he built it from the ground up. he took a factory stock 426 blueprinted it and dropped in a cam and headers. thats it. nothing else. then he took it out on a test run and set a new a/fx record almost 190mph. and the rest is history... ron m. .

even though the stock comp. it pretty good.... will there still be an increase in performance with something aftermarket or do they just claim there is... .

what is the best computer performance chip to get for the hemi jet superchips not sure of what other brands are out there. factory ones are pretty good since that if you have an offbrand chip in your obd pcm now some areas will flunk your emissions right off jump street.... oh..thats right...you are still trying to act like you have a real hemi... if you had a real hemi i could tell you how to get an additional 400hp with few mods...but speed costs. .

so in saying i do not have a real hemi are you refurring to the original hemis in the 50-70s id bet thats what he was referring to. anyway you might be better off if you take a minute and figure out what your expectations are regarding the performance of the truck. in other words speed costs how fast do you want to go a chip will give you a bit a cat back hardly anything a aftermarket air filter nothing. they all may sound like a bunch of hp but unless your into sonic drags it would be a waste of money imho. you want serious speed your going to have to crack that puppy open. roy .
