    You can tune all the engine options for the commander to control lots of stuff and programming the tune for running certain fuels is a part of that as well as the shift patterns in the trans and all kinds of stuff. The Hemi is not the only engine that is tunable and as I always like to rub it in it's not real Hemi anyway well, I think I'm funny LOL. There is no need to tune like the OP said just for a CAI but lots of guys are getting a lot better performance and MPG using programmers and everyone seems to love the way the trans runs afterwards.

    These guys know alot about 4.7 performance. I never had the opportunity to work on them. They can also tell you who to go to for custom tuning if you want to upgrade to H.O. cams or ported heads and such.

    And Sal, Hemi or not this is one of the "not quite Hemi" cars that I built. Unfortunately the owner of another shop totaled it before we upped the boost to the target of 15 psi. But the car was crazy.

    wasn't mine, it was a customers vehicle. And he did bring it to the track. Even with slicks he was spinning through the 1/8 mile and ran an 11.20 or 30...lots of traction issues and he was having trouble with the tranny shifting at times. So he brought it to the tranny builder and that guy parked it into 3 concrete poles.

    What does that get us if we do those upgrades?
