Honestly it's not worth messing with. Get some real programming such as pcmforless.com or madz28.com. Those hand-held programmers aren't worth a damn.

If you got it free, sell it to someone and put that towards a good mail-order tune.

there arent too many things to can do with a hypertech. even less with a six speed. main things if i remember correctly would be changing the top speed limiter,fan settings if you had a 160 stat, and tire size.
