Cool. Do I need to contact Sean with Hemifever or does he track the tuners? If contact is needed, do you have the information for him by chance? I drive mine daily but only average 12-15 miles a day. I'm taking a trip to Texas from Virginia(1650 miles) this summer and this tuner will probably convince me to take the PW vs. my wife's Audi.

Sean will send you an email. I suppose when you place the order with Moe's they in turn place it with Hemifever...

I tried calling to place an order but all I get is a voicemail and their machine is full. I ended up just ordering the I-1000 w/ hemitune online...$439. How long did the shipping take to receive yours?

Cool. I guess Sean gets notified as soon as the tuner gets ordered. I received an e-mail from him/the company within an hour of my order. Looking forward to plugging it in and the new and improved performance.

You may have convinced me to get Sean to get me a tune also. I've got the Trinity and I love it but with just the normal Diablo tunes it does have that lag you are talking about up to 3500-4000, then it pulls hard to redline. If his tune fixes that it would be astounding what this truck would run like. I could have bought it off his site with his tune for the same asking price for just the tuner from anywhere else, but I didn't look there until after I bought it. But I'll just buy the tune from him I guess. Thanks for this little side talk guys! lol

I'm sure you can call him and he'll fix you up.

Wow! I learn something cool on every thread! I still have 33" tires but I think that getting a tuner for road trip economy would be a great idea. I haven't felt like I didn't have enough power...once you rev up the hemi the tires turn...traction or not. I have the 'old' weaker version too.

I looked online and found this price ($389) for the I-1000 tuner, is this the one you guys are talking about? I have 61k on my rig and would like to improve the economy on the road...this sounds like the way to go.

Edit: I see now :doh: ...the hemitune is an extra $50 but it is worth it over the standard that comes with the tuner. :idea:

That's the correct one and I got it from Moe's. I wish I had done it sooner. I put 56k miles on a set of 35's and the tuner would've paid for itself 10 fold by now.

Just received my tuner yesterday evening. It's a noticeable difference already. Question to those who have one as well: Which tunes came pre-loaded? I paid for the Hemifever tune but didn't see it on there. There are 5: Diablo Tuner, 91 OCT, 87 OCT, MPG BOOSTER, and Modify Stock..in that order. Did anyone get the same or am I missing the hemifever tune or just need to get with hemifever in order to get it? Thanks for any and all info.

You're good, Sean will load the Hemitune into yours and it will be added as "Custom tune"

He should send you an email confirming make, model, and year with instructions to go from there.
