Default Thoughts on this..

Tuning is not yet available for 2013's, but I saw this in the Challenger Talk forum..

What do you all think?

Looks like it senses current values & then tricks sensors to adjust all the parameters for increased timing, fuel, spark, shift firmness, throttle etc..

I think you should buy it.

If it works, we'll sell our Corvettes & buy a Challenger & you'll be the man for your discovery.

Its all over the Charger forum..
The Mopar 11 guys are loving it since there is no tuning.

Seems to work well they.

I know for the Vette, these harnessess & certain hand helds don't do much..

Actually what I've been reading the C7 ecu self adjusts to what ever mod you install.

Interesting. Where are you reading that?

Seems they would need to come with a wideband for that to be effective...do they?
