The 2009 to 2010 transition was easy because they cloned the engine management system, and all we had to do was start adding the new CAL ID's. Our Mopar tuner has his plate REALLY full, but he's efficient, so don't panic yet.

Optimistically speaking, we SHOULD have support for the 2011's in the next 2-3 months.

It's going to be harder and harder for the aftermarket to modify tunes for aftermarket parts in the future. It may become impossible by 2013. What they did or are doing (Diablo) to eventually modify the controllers for 2011, which is taking 6 to 8 months total time may take over a year with 2012 drive train management controllers. By 2013 who knows how long it will take or maybe not possible at all, what ever time it takes it will be to long to support aftermarket sales of performance parts for these cars. In 2013 factory supercharged cars will be available for order and dealer installed after sales performance parts will be the norm. You'll pay more for Mopar Performance Parts mods but you'll be able to get them right away through the dealerships. Of course this is my guess on what the future holds for the performance car market.

There is some talk about Hurst Performance not being total out of the picture. I did read a post on Challenger Talk by Subzero05, who is a sales manager for the Hurst Shifter business. He hinted that there may be something in the works. I will post more info. when available.
