Hey all, im new at the whole computer/chip/programmer thing. Is the $335 Hypertech 3 for the 02 LS1 worth the money for what I will get out of it...also im going to run true duals and !CATS, will the programmer enable me to delete the o2 sensors so the ses light wont illuminate...
id like some pros and cons
THANKS!!!

its a waste of money. either get a lifetime tune package at a local shop, or if you have a laptop buy HPTuners or EFILive. much better investments.

If you don't have a laptop, but just want to be able to tune basic stuff like fan settings, shift points, rev limiter, etc. then a cheap used HPP3 would do fine. I see them get bought and sold for as low as $100-150, maybe even lower for local sales.

If you plan to do a lot of mods and want to tune on your own, then just get a laptop and some good tuning/scanning software. I used autotap for scaning and LS1 Edit for tuning on my WS6 starting back in '02. For my Z28 I didn't plan anything serious so an HPP was just fine. Don't pay full price for one though.

JUNK, would not waste the money. Like cyphur_traq said, get a tune or an editing program. Whether U have to go across country to get a tune done or not, it is still worth it. Best place for me is a 5 hour drive, but I will do it anytime I need a good, trusted TUNE.
