Hello,

IÂ´m from Germany, and got a new Dodge RAM 1500 Quad CAB

SPORT 5.7L Year 2009.

Changes:
Manifold, Exhaust, AID Intake System, Throttle Body Spacer.

Who can send me a tune up file via Email.

The GAS here in germany is 96 or 98 Octan.

The dealers here in germany donÂ´t know about american cars.

So please help me.

Regards

Dieter

I dont see any reason you would need a custom tune?

One of the tunes already provided in the Predator will be fine.

Ummm, keep in mind that your octane number is not the same octane number as in the US?

Hello,

yes we can buy gas between 95, 98 and 100 Octan (ROZ).

Right, it's the R0N part. Your octane is not calculated the same. Your 95 is not equivalent to our 95.

Wikipedia wrote:Research Octane Number (RON)
The most common type of octane rating worldwide is the Research Octane Number (RON). RON is determined by running the fuel in a test engine with a variable compression ratio under controlled conditions, and comparing the results with those for mixtures of iso-octane and n-heptane.

Motor Octane Number (MON)
There is another type of octane rating, called Motor Octane Number (MON), or the aviation lean octane rating, which is a better measure of how the fuel behaves when under load as it is done at 900 rpm instead of the 600 rpm of the RON[2][3]. MON testing uses a similar test engine to that used in RON testing, but with a preheated fuel mixture, a higher engine speed, and variable ignition timing to further stress the fuel's knock resistance. Depending on the composition of the fuel, the MON of a modern gasoline will be about 8 to 10 points lower than the RON. Normally, fuel specifications require both a minimum RON and a minimum MON.[citation needed]

Anti-Knock Index (AKI)
In most countries, including all of those of Australia and Europe the "headline" octane rating shown on the pump is the RON, but in Canada, the United States and some other countries,[which?] the headline number is the average of the RON and the MON, called the Anti-Knock Index (AKI). It may also sometimes be called the Road Octane Number (RdON), Pump Octane Number (PON), or (R+M)/2.

Difference between RON and AKI
Because of the 8 to 10 point difference noted above, the octane rating shown in the United States is 4 to 5 points lower than the rating shown elsewhere in the world for the same fuel.

I agree with you, Quick

US 91 is german super 95, 93 US is german Super plus 98.
The most peoble here in germany doesn`t know something about the right Oktan numbers
