    That's it, I hope it makes sense. Basically the Hypertech programmer "supposidly" will boost up the 3.7L +35 hp and also be able to re-calibrate for bigger tires and gear changes. I will be calling Hypertech tomorrow and speaking to their tech support again to make sure that it'll work with the '06 models. On their web site it says "2007-2010" 3.7L. I hope to be able to get dyno runs before and after to see if it actually did anything. So stay tuned and post up your input, concerns, or what not.

    Ok, I spoke to Hypertech this morning for confirmation. Well, it will NOT work on the '06 3.7L. :nono: The one they are releasing soon will be for the '07-'10 3.7L models, WTF? Why leave the '06s out of the loop. They said that after the '07 release, they will eventually do one for the '06 models. Bunch of crap, I had my hopes up.

    On a good note.....Their speedo calibrator does work for the '06-'10 models and will correct tire sizes up to 44"s and gear swaps up tp 3.70. Plus it's cheaper but does not add hp or torque.

    That stinks bro there must be something different in 06 for them to leave that year out. I would imagine if they could of bundled that year in they would of because there profit margins will drop making a stand alone for just one year which makes me think they probably won't ever do it.

    Thats what im thinking, why waste time and money for a one year only product. Back to the drawing board.

    I opted to trade in the 2006 4.7 for the 2010 5.7 and have no regrets, bigger payment but what the hell. You cant wipe the smile off your face the first time you stomp on the gas. I do spend less on gas in the 2010..............
