Diablo Support for 09 Challenger SRT

Huh? WTF are you talking about? The Jeep uses the same NAG1 W5A580 tranny as the LX SRT8s. The Ram uses the 545RFE. Totally different. One is a Mercedes AMG unit, the other isn't.

Done on our end.
We have a 09 5.7 in the shop right now (monster, gonna make the 6.1 guys mad when they see the power these things make), should have all the 09 stuff done next week.

You know when i dyno my car it was very good much higher then the other 5.7 chargers. it pulled 323 rwh Mikel your making me very happy sound like we have a beast on ower hands, thanks for the update !

Yeah it picked up 3 tenths in the quarter, 13.1 to 12.8 this weekend. The 09 RT that is.

I never looked under or that close at a GC SRT8,, I thought they went with the RFE tranny. If not my mistake. Why cant the GC code be cracked then if it is the wa580? The 580 only uses one main bell housing and the big diff for the main case is the rear for 4wd. The clutch packs are the same but just more of them for the v6-v8. Valve bodies are all the same. How the software differs thats done at the assy plant may be the reasoning I would suppose.

My 09 Challenger SRT has gone into a blue funk and won't come out of the garage. Says she can't operate at top efficiency without a Predator tune. Hope you guy's are close to completion ?

Mike, Johan, I'm hearing vicious rumors the a 09 Challenger R/T with a predator tune is coming close to what a stock Challenger SRT can do in the 1/4 mile. What say ye gentlemen ?
If true then it is most important to give us SRT'ers a tune to dispel this injustice.

Thanks for the good work you guy's do.

Man, no joke, the 09 5.7 is a whole new monster.
The new SRT8s also seem to be up on power a bit, but they also don't lean out with CAIs so they dont gain power there like the older cars did.

Is this still as planned? I hope it's sooner, I have 3 automatic 2009 Challenger SRT8 cars that are dead in the water holding on Diablo Predator support.

Just want to keep this up near the top so you won't forget us! LOL!

Rozwell1 · Post by **Rozwell1** » Tue Jan 13, 2009 11:12 pm

Yes keeping this up at the top! I check it for update often 09 R/T.

I must agree, I check every day; twice! B4 & post workday! I want to be the first to plug in and burn out. (leave me to my delusions)...

I bet if a thousand people called to return the tuner they would release the update for our 09 Challenger's RT and SRT's..
They did say mid January 09. I'll give them till the end of the month. When they do release it the server may crash from all the downloading.

I only want then to release it when its right! i would think that ill spend more time trying to setup a tune or blowing out my ecm if they rush it.
But i still want it and hope this month is the pay off, keep up the good work.
