I popped back over to see if anyone here was talking about the 6.2 supercharged engine that is now confirmed for special edition 2013 Challengers, and saw a few posts about tuning possibilities for the Challenger. There is no handheld tuner available for the Challenger yet. You can send your ECU for a custom tune. If you mod something else, you have to send it in again. I'm guessing you pay again as well. This has only been available for about three months so only a couple handfuls of people have had it done. I don't know of dyno results posted anywhere. The Dodge community believes that the computer is locked to keep warranty claims down and/or Dodge has dealer installed 'stage kits' planned for the 392- like they did with the SRT4. Only conjecture at this point on the stage kits.
When I modified my Camaro I regretted the decision after the initial thrill was gone. I wish I would have maximized the car's potential bone stock before tearing into it.

I also am following the pcm tuning over on the other forum and IMO it's not worth it yet. To give away your warranty to gain a tenth or two is just not worth it. Now if tuning would allow you to cam, sc, or tc then the benefit would be there for some. For now I plan to run my car as hard as possible stock. Maybe make a run at SRT8's times above
