what positive effects have you noticed after all of this driving? Are any benefits worth the cost? Would you do it again?

Just read through this thread and just to make sure i didnt misread, do the people that are having the problems with hill descents and stalling have an automatic trans or 6 speed?

Mine is a 6 speed. I got the ETC light on a very steep downhill on my 3rd wheeling trip after having it on for over 6 months.

Default update

With 4,200 miles on the Viper TB stock i found a good deal on a K&N Drop in filter. so now is a good of time as any to see if this will effect anything.

i have been driving it around so far with the K&N drop in installed. and no issues at all so far with hill ascents or decents, as well as offroading and highway use.

Default Viper TB and Towing

I didn't see anyone talk about this mod for a tow vehicle. I am about to pull the trigger on a 19' travel trailer and looking for all the power I can find (on the cheap) to help me pull this thing. I have the CAI and exhaust already. Wondering if the TB would help me a bit more, even if it's just for MPG since I know it will be horrible with my brick pulling an even bigger brick.

I think that towing would run into the same issues as I saw for uphill with the stalling. Then again I do not know, it I s just my logic and 2 cents.

As for super chip, it rocks!
