People with Dodge Dakota R/Ts from 5-6years are still waiting for their tuner. And still only thing they can get is a flash from B&G. Just like us.

The problem is the way they market chips/programmers is everyone wants to plug them in and get 35 instant Horsepower. And I honestly think they aren't going to be able to do anything like that safely with a 6.1.

So if they bring one to market and it is too aggressive in search of power. People will ping their 6.1 to death and then bitch at the programmer company.

Or they make something to just tune things, like the tranny, torque management, rev limit, ESP, fans etc.... All which would be great to have.

But then people will strap the car to the dyno and do some runs and not gain PEAK HP or Torque. Even though the car is much improved driving down the road becuase of the other changes.

But then in a lot of people minds "This programer gave me zero horsepower..it sucks"

So I can see the situation these companies are in with the 6.1. Lets hope someone steps up to the plate.
