Around the time I sold the Charger Hellcat I remember a group was putting out a body control module (for lack of a better term) and it supposedly made a great deal of difference in these cars with road course, handling, and even launching. Anyone running one of those? Experience?

If you are talking about DSC for the suspension module yes it makes a world of difference. I have the Diablo version and it works fine.

If you are talking about turning on drag mode with alfaobd for the drag strip it does change the display from track to drag, but I was unable to improve on my 60ft.

DSC is what I was referring to, but its good to know the drag mode information as well. If I may ask, you're saying you saw a great deal of improved performance at the track on launch? Did you see any difference on the street?

Was there a particular reason you went with the Diablo version?

I got the diablo version used off the other forum for $500 so it was well worth it.

It knocked .1 off the et easy. It launches the same every time.

Also just to have for street driving is amazing, this is how it should have come from Dodge. @DGatzby he has one and tracks his car. Maybe he will reply.

Headed over to the DiabloSport website and I did not see that listed in the parts availability?

Mag, get it directly from DSC if you got the extra cash. The DS unit is not programmable is its difference, and a few have “bricked” themselves in my case just because I used a trickle charger over a winter.

On the other hand, I really like the unit and would not ever be without it. The ride is better, and it does have a noticeable effect on handling and a couple of other items you would probably only notice on a course.

Just went to their site and looks like they are done with it. I would send them an email to verify they stopped selling it. They did stand behind the warranty issues. I do have the software to change the settings from diablosport if needed.

The DSC version has the ability to tune it. The Diablosport ones does not. I have it on my Trackhawk and we play with the settings to get it to work better. I had the Diablosport one on my Redeye and my previous charger. Its a fixed algorithm and it bricked a few months later and was getting an error message. It bricked in my charger as well. I would stick with the DCS version TBH.

Not surprised its no longer offered by them it sucked!
