Mopar tuning in the metro?

I talked to Bart at hitech. Didn't leave feeling all warm and fuzzy. Tried D&B. I need to call Diablo tomorrow. I plugged my intune in to see what I could find out, and it notified me that it already has a preexisting tune by Diablo in it. But I know nothing about it. It want's to install a calibration update, and I don't know if that will change anything on the tune.

So, after some digging, it appears I am about as tuned as I'm going to get. I got ahold of the original builder of the engine. When the engine was built he used Arrington pistons, camshaft, and heads, and the magnuson blower, then sent it out to New York to have it tuned, before hitting New Jersey for its new owner. Dyno sheet to come, but Dan thought it put down 508 Rwhp, through a t-case and 35" tires. Seems part of the feeling I was getting is from the Magnuson one way valve they use, the supercharger hits a little more aggressively. I have learned to drive to prevent this, and that in itself is much better. I couldn't be much happier with my new "Daily driver" jeep.

That sucks that it dictates how you drive it, I'd try to fix that

[96zjlimited]

I would like to, but its not that easy. Its a motor swap, in a Can bus vehicle, while keeping all the original Jeep functions operating. BOR has it on lock down pretty good. What I've learned is, if I don't lug it, it respond well. If I lug it, the magnuson hits like a brick wall. If I run it through the R's, its smooth as can be. I think a regear to 4.88's is in my future.

There is a guy on here with a charger and some work done to it, pretty sure he got it tuned, I'd have to think there is a solution. But 4.88s sound good too and it might make all the difference.
With a big motor and blower though, I'd think use the grunt would be the best part though..

[96zjlimited]

Its nice, but with 35's, running at 70 mph, I am under 2k rpms. It wouldn't hurt to spin a little more.

[mnstang]

Agreed, that some tall gearing

[96zjlimited]

I honestly couldn't be happier, for a 5500lb+ jeep, it moves the fuck out. Its no race car, but one hell of a sleeper.

[mnstang]

I bet, 500hp is no joke.

Nothing wrong with a real sleeper with all the comforts.

[96zjlimited]

I'm surprised at the comforts provided, heated leather, power everything, nav, rear view camera, 11 mpg. All creature comforts. If I get sick of the mileage I'll drive the A8, until then, this thing is a blast.

little known fact, the comp coupe viper in race trim is slower then the jeep in factory street form at the time attack and auto x events. If you haven't been to a SRT Experience, I suggest going sometime.

[CAMSS30]

I'd try MAP, I would bet they did the tuning on the blown SRT8 Grand Cherokee that's in town.

[96zjlimited]

It sounds like its about as tuned as its going to get, and the ecm is on lockdown. It is what it is.

[Outrun]

11 mpg...lol.

oh wait, I get less than that and I drive a car. Nevermind. Carry on.
