Message:
After installation of the Mopar PCM last week I drove about 600kms on the German Autobahn this weekend.
And guess what:
1. No speed limiter anymore - I drove my R/T up to the end of the speedometer (200kph = 125mph). No limiter and great handling!
2. No speed limit for cruize control anymore. When driving back in the night I was able to set the speedlimiter at 170kph (about 106mph) without any problems!
3. My fuel consumption at average speeds of 150-180 kph drop 2.2L/100km! Instead of 20.2L/100km I had 3 weeks ago on the German Autobahn I only needed 17.8L/100km (Sorry but I do not now what this is in Gallons/Mile).
This is the best performance part I ever bought. For people living in Europe it offers all you need and give you aditional HP - what do you want more? :-)

Do they charge you extra for having a engine over 2 liters? I know there is a fee or another that penalizes you for having a big engine in some countries in Europe.

You are right. In countries i.e. like Greece, France or Italy there is a special very expensive luxury tax for cars over 2L. Luckily not in Germany or Switzerland. :-)

From what I get out of it, his mpg increased at the speeds he listed. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, though.

Correct troy.
The mpg increased:
With the standard PCM I needed for 100 fast driven kilometers 20.2L fuel.
With the Mopar PCM I needed for 100 fast driven kilometers merely 17.8L fuel.
But if you tell me I wasn't good in my calculation you will be right. I didn't need 2.2L less fuel - it's 2.4L less ;-)

Sorry 4 the late answer.
I am running 98 octane but after the European Octan numbers. This should be around 95 U.S. octane!?

Tim,
Your fuel milage before the pcm was 11.645 Miles per gallon, now after the pcm change you get 13.215 Miles per gallon. That's not to bad for a 5.9 auto at 100 mph+. That is why I got the 4.7L with the 5 speed. I just got back from Chiemsee and went to the Eagles Nest while there in Berchestgaden, and came back via the LEGOLAND on A-8 up A-7 to A-3 and averaged running most times at 115 mph cruise speed, running up to 130+ mph regularly and averaged 17.142 Miles per gallon. I drove total of 960 miles and used 56 gallons of fuel, or 212 Liters.
I did have fun, we went to Salzburg and Fortress, Kehlstein Haus (Eagles Nest), Berchetsgaden, Herren Chiemsee Castle and Island and others.
Will see you in a couple days.
Later,
My VW Killer

Wow Lynn, I am impressed.
That a very good average consumption and this with a camping gear and your complete family!
I guess you saw a lot nice places on your trip. The places you mentioned definitely are very nice locations. I hope you and your family enjoyed the trip.
See you in a couple (unforunately) more days.
Tim
BTW thank you for the conversion of fuel consumption and Europe octane numbers.

It's a performance computer. Cost is usually $250-400. Installation is very easy. Takes about 10-20 minutes total.
