Posted on Diablosport forums in the Dodge Gas Engine area:
P050B Ignition timing retard value insufficient for 5 seconds or more
during 10 seconds of P050A monitoring duration at cold start
(2 trip detection logic)
possible problem areas
• Throttle body assembly
• Air induction system
• PCV hose connections
• VVT system (rule this out on the 3.8)
• Air cleaner filter element
• ECM

Hope you can figure it out! Mine threw a code the other day but can't remember what it was, I just cleared it and it hasn't returned... It was on start up too... Thinking it might be the same, if it happens again ill post it.

Happy customer
I am happy with the purchase and install. I wish the fuel economy was a little better, but If you want power increases you gots to increase the fuel to the engine. i mainly bought the supercharger to help with towing my sled to the mountains. When I lifted and put her on 35's I was basically driving in 5 gear and dropping to 4th to climb the mountains with my sled. If I tried to pull 2 sled I was in 4th gear all the time. Now with the charger installed I put her in 6th and maybe have to drop to 5th on bigger pulls. The difference in fuel prices really only adds about $10 more a tank running 91 octane vs. 87 octane.

Tuning is improving. Based on my experience with Sprintex, this is the route I'd go.
Any year 3.8 with the manual 6 speed: Duablo tuner (trinity or intune).
07-10 Autos go with the Hypertech at this time.
just my 2 cents.
