Default 2009 Challenger with Whipple

We dont tune alot of dodges but we had a one of customers friends give us a call with a 09 Challenger with a 5.7 with a whipple on it. He was happy with the power but wasnt happy with the start up and drivability so he brought it to us. It originally had the handheld tune that came with the whipple kit then another shop re-tuned it before we got it. After we re-tuned it it started and drove like stock until you got on the gas and it came alive. As an added bonus we ended up picking up some hp and tq.

449/478 SAE. I want to say it was running 6-8lbs I dont remember. If I think about it I'll look it up on the dyno computer and double check since I was logging boost.

peaks at 5500rpm? Sounds like a 1960s BB.

I was actually letting off, the torque converter was locking right around 5600 so I was trying to keep it from locking.
