Chipping a newer Charger 6.1?

[Arnie Cunningham]

Hey all,

Are there any threads on here about performance chip upgrades for a newer Charger with the 6.1?  I used the search but came up empty.  A friend asked about this and I had to honestly say I don't know as the newest car I own is a 1981 lol.

Anyone have any good experiences or links to sources?

Thanks,
Brennan R. Cook

I can't recall there being any serious discussion on here about it.  Rolling Thunder may have some ideas (or some of the others that have played around with the newer stuff) but your best bet is likely going to be off one of the LX forums.

Chips are not worth it...   all they do is skew the sensor inputs and alter little things...

Best bet would be get a Diablo Predator and play with it...   it allows rpm limiter, timing, fuel, and other things to be altered -  it will also save your stock settings - if it needs a smog check restore the old program and then just plug back in your performance stuff

The Star Scan is the factory computer maching and it has extended abilities like security features, reprogramming the PCM via VIN numbers and things like that - adjusting headlights and brake bleeding...      I recently acquired access to one so I am going to start playing with my PCM pretty quick...     see if I cant brake 475hp with my hemi

Agree - I went with the Diablo as well....you can try their site.

Thanks for the prompt replies.
I will forward the information.
475 would be a nice round number.
