    The Tuning School. Pre 2008?

    Hello all, I?m a long time Mopar guy, but new to tuning. Would the Tuning School be worthwhile for pre 2008 Hemis? It looks like most of what they have is for later models.

    Not really , some principles are the same, but the older Hemis don't have a lot of the same tables. the older Hemis work more off of MAP then Aircharge , and Tq request are less ......stringent.

    Hello all you experienced tuners, I'm Mopar guy for a few years now did a view thing to my truck like cold air intake, clutch fun delete, V6 electric fun, shorty headers, new hot coils and plugs want do to a lot more in the near future. I'm going to get a tuner soon I just got a laptop with windows 10 ready to go. I'm new to tuning. Would the Tuning School be worthwhile for pre 2014 Hemi? Would a tune help me on my 5.7 Hemi?

    Yes a tune will help. More knowledge is never a bad thing. The tuning school courses will help, but they are more targeted towards the newer stuff. More so VVT vs non VVT (09+) but much of the basics will be the same

    Hi white1: Thanks, and I'm also wondering if a tune would help on all the new staff I did to my truck?
