Reflashing the ECU?
I've been kind of interested in an '09 SE but I hate electronic nannies... I noticed there's a neutral rev chip that kicks in at 3,500 RPM and that drives me nuts... also I think there's a speed limiter.
Is there any way to reflash that out of the ECU? It may just be the difference between buying the Challenger or something else....

RE: Reflashing the ECU?
I have software from HP Tuners for tuning GM cars (and it easily takes care of the issues you mentioned). HP Tuners is working on the code to be able to tune/reflash Mopar ECUs. They say they are getting pretty close to releasing the Mopar version. HP Tuners is a complex program that requires the use of a laptop to tune the car. This is professional stuff...not for your average weekend warrior!

I have a similar system I use to tune my '67 Mustang's FI system. You can control everything from rev limiter to injector duration and timing. Neat stuff.

RE: Reflashing the ECU?
Does the SE redline at 6500 rpm? That sounds high. I went with the Predator for my SRT and I can always return to the factory tune when I have to take it in for service.
