modern HEMI gen 3 tuners?????
Discussion
Anyone know if there are any Modern HEMI tuners in the UK for an 6.1L SRT8
I am returning to the UK sometime this year and will be buying another Jeep SRT8 and want to ship some parts with my household stuff.
Either a Supercharger or Cam/Heads & Headers, maybe even a 426ci short block, but need someone to install it all and dyno tune a Predator properly.
Does anyone know of anybody in the UK that does this kind of thing?
Thanks
Steve

You could talk to DC automotive in the US who are good with the Mopar ECU's and get a package deal.
In that way you should have a good solution.
I think SCT make a tune solution for it, you could roll your own with some effort. Just make sure you spend the time on the stock ECU and engine first to get to grips with it before you drop a blower on it.

US tuners and suppliers are not an issue I live in the US right now,
And Vortech superchargers come with a base tune included which is good enough to run day to day.
Ported heads and Cam changes require a bit more of a tune to get the engine running well and to avoid det issues and increase engine life.
What I need is a UK based dyno tuning company with experience in HEMI engines and Diablosport Predator ECU tuning adjustments.
I see there is a company called Paramount Performance based in Slough. ANyone had a ny experience with them or know anyone else.

The predator is not a tuning solution, it just does limited tweaks to the ECU based on a heavy filtered view.
The SCT Racer Pro version or whatever its called lets you do a lot more.
If you are doing the mods stateside before bringing the car to the UK Id definately get a good US tuner to do all the work first.
I doubt anyone here has the experience to match the US guys.
Anyway to directly answer your question, Im not sure who here does tunes etc for Hemi's with cams etc.

Thanks for the info and input. I am not tuning a US Jeep to bring over, I hope to bring over parts to install on a UK Jeep and tune.
I know a Predator is not a true engine management system, but I am not really looking for a full engine management system replacement, in fact, I don't think that one exists for the Jeep, it's ECU factory setup is shall we say, interesting, it certainly has it's quirks especially ready O2 sensors and fuelling.
But Predators have been used over here successfully on a number of High horsepower Jeeps and LX model Dodges running very low 11sec 1/4s. And I know of one Jeep SRT8 with all the mods I want that's run with a custom Predator tune for 118k miles on factory internals and still going strong.
I mean I can most likely get an emailed CMR tune for a Predator from a reputable US tuner to cover any mods, but would need a dyno tune to adjust air/fuel ratios and some timing just to fine tune for UK fuel, which I would imagine really and truely any decent UK dyno tuner could do.
I'm not trying to build a drag racer, a still want it usable on the road.

My understanding is the predator can be pre-programmed by a tuner and sent to the customer.
So if you have x cam and y blower, then a tuner will send you a predator with a suitable base tune.
In which case I understand what you are asking. But I still think you are better off buying a proven package and predator tune stateside.
Most kits come with a flash tuner for a baseline as well. Generally its very conservative and leaves a lot on the table.
Id be inclined to use the baseline from the blower kit manufacturer and then roll my own changes in over time.
I think RapidGB do Hemi stuff in the UK. You could contact them for a chat.

Given the choice of running my 300C SRT8 with or without a Predator is a no brainer, the canned Predator tune (I use the 93 CAI) makes it a completely different car all round, but in agreement with the OP, yes it would be nice to find someone who could use the Predator and create a custon tune.
Will keep an eye on this thread as I don't know of any tuners.
