Was wanting to put a power chip in my 97 dodge ram 1500 with a 360 and was wanting to get some input on which was the best.

Might want to post this up in the "trucks" section. Seems to me when I was looking for upgrades back when I owned my 95 the pickings were slim....and expensive. Not to mention the gains were slim at best.

I agree; VERY slim....not really worth it IMO. I remember 4x4 magazine did a bunch of hop ups on a TJ with a 4.0; chip, aftermarket exhaust, K&N, etc. etc.......net result 1 - 2 hp!! They finally put a supercharger on it and that gave 'em 100hp.

You can "chip" a diesel and get big power, but not a modern day gasser.

Pick up an SCT tuner from this guy:

A majority of Dakota guys on the forums I'm on are using SCT and swear by it.

I'm using an SCT tuner on my PT cruiser turbo and picked up 20hp on the dyno. That ain't bad for a plug in tune on a 2.4 motor.

easy to pick up power on a turbo motor.....a 360; not so much.

I had a Hypertech for my '01 Ram. Useless. Hated it. In the 87 octane 'performance tune', I had to run 89 or it would ping.
My brother bought a SuperChips for his '01or '02 4.7 Dakota and loves it. Almost as much as the shift kit I put in for him.
