Hypertech's programmer comes with a program already installed so when u put it on ur car it all depends how ur car reacts to it. I lost 2 tenths with the programer and my friend gained 3 tenths. Its a hit and miss cause all cars are different. U can still get some use out of it. U can program for different gears and tires, move rev limeter and speed limiter, change cooling fan temps and such. U can do all of that with out actually having the hypertech program installed in ur car.

I wouldn't spend any money on one....if you can use it for free then go ahead and try it out I guess. If you plan on modding more in the future I'd think about just getting some tuning software.

i like having the fan come on at a lower temp to keep the heat at a lower level....shifting and shift points were nicer too.....but its no good for an m6
