Love it. It's that simple. You should buy one.
The install is a no brainer and the results are sweet.
Nancy and Moony helped me shoot a tour of the process.

I have not yet shot all the differences in how the car drives. These will be in Moddin Art Volume Two released at MoFo in October.

So far I have only topped at 130, just to see it go past the stock limit. While it was fast enough, I 'magine I'll see 140... then 150...
MUCH better shifting response. I totoally love driving in auto stick now. It goes when you go.
Speakin of shifts, I'm shifting at 6250rpms now. Again, a huge difference. Cornering hard enough, a 3rd gear scratch isn't unheard of and coupled with ported heads, 4th and 5th gears act like 2nd and 3rd only faster. All tourqy and stuff.
It's handy. Reads your cels should you have em and it clears em too.
Also, because it saves settings, I can load a setting for different driving situations... one for drag racing, one for auto crossing, one for grocery-gettin. Pretty sweet.

Another awesome video Grinner. I almost feel like I am watching Spike's TV's Powerblock when I watch your videos. Excellent job.

This will be one of my next mods for sure. For the auto stick, are you saying then when you shift to second it will actually do it quicker than the 2 seconds or so lag from the factory?

instantaniously now.
Also will stay in 2nd till I change it if I set it up as so. Stock, it'll shift automaticly at like 5800rpms, even in autostick. In performance mode, it will stay in gear till changed. Good for auto crossing.
I notice it also shows 5th gear now. Use to go from 4th to Drive as far as the display.

I ordered mine today and hopefully it will be here along with my air supsension before the weekend. I'm going to have a laborous(sp?) Labor Day weekend

Any tire chirps into second gear?

I got mine today. I think it was the first time I was sad that my gas tank was pretty full. I want to run the 91 octane setting, but only have 89 in there right now. I have it set on the 87 economy mode. The shifts are much firmer. It still doesn't shift as fast as I would like it to in manumatic mode, but it is still a lot better than stock.

I also noticed that in manumatic mode, when you come to a stop it will automatically go back in to first. No more having to tap it over. Also, when you tap it down to get out of automatic mode, it automatically goes into first.

I currently have a 5.4 L Hemi 06 Magnum RT...will this tuner work for it, or on the 5.7L?

gsapelli · 08-30-2006, 02:45 PM

I am retarded...

Of course my hemi is a 5.7...i was thinking back to my old truck which was 5.4...

grinner · 08-30-2006, 04:11 PM

yeah, thats what this flashpaq is for.
second gear chirps galore when I turn esp off at the dash.
