I do not have that feeling about my dealer who has bolted on two replacement superchargers and replaced a block, an oil cooling system and exhaust. It runs much better now and am looking forward to that man upgrading mine. He can handle a pulley, thermostat and software upgrade.
DGatzby's "Project Hellcat Upgrade" spittoon-equipped/cigar-smoking/whiskey-drinking Bed and Breakfast soon to open in upper Midwest, near trusted Dodge dealership. Discounts for those willing to shovel snow.

Ha, good idea, but without wicked snow tires we are going to be disappointed at any performance gains until sometime in March! I want to read about all our fellow drag racers who upgrade and tell us how good it is soon.

Dodge is good, but introducing these upgrades when about 30% or more of us have parked the cars for the winter has some of us scratching our heads. It may be a cold dark winter worse than the 2014-2015 winter when we were in VON hell waiting on Hellcat allocations to come true.

Maybe they put this out going into winter so we can obsess over wanting it? You know, cancel unimportant things like 30 year wedding anniversary vacations to Hawaii so we can buy the tune in spring.

These spikey snow tires look pretty cool.

Get some. My buddy who lives up by Brainerd has a huge lake for you to try some top speed runs.

Yeah I just spoke to a friend at my local dealer and they just decided to officially join the program which is super cool, but I think realistically we should be ready to wait until this spring before we are getting this stuff done to our cars. I’m going to try to be the first to have it locally.

I will get either the Stage 2 or 3 depending on what the Stage 3 involves. As soon as Stage 3 is announced, I will make an appointment for my car to get one of the two upgrades

You pioneers go out and let us know how it shifts at WOT. Either they fix the hiccup, or not. For a few of us; that will determine if we want the Mopar tuner or another aftermarket tuner. Because for me, in just two more seasons the five years of warranty will be over anyway. At that point, if they don’t fix it, it may not even remain in my garage anyway. If they fix it, then it can be around for a long time. Glad I don’t and cannot be a pioneer on this, as my car is hibernating until spring.

Are any of the traditional HEMI tuners able to tune out the hiccup? I’m pretty sure @Hemituner was involved in this. I don’t remember where I read that, and I may have my wires crossed… but if he was involved, the hiccup should be gone.

Will do! Once I get the goodies installed, I'll give you all a complete rundown!

It's easy to tune out. I could do it in 30 seconds.

I can say for sure the 2021 Super Stock has no hiccups! But like you Dave my 19 Redeye sure did.

Yes, the aftermarket can do it, and it may be only a TCM change. It is most certainly in the TM part of their program.

Add Stage 2 to a SS and your 907.. :)
Pretty sure it doesnt work like that lol. I'm guessing it overwrites/replaces the factory tune which would mean all RE/SS would be the same afterwards. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I read somewhere there is a TSB for it too. Not sure but I'm going to do more research.
