Off to some poor planning, the Hypertech "power Programmer" has been repeatedly documented to slow cars down and costs nearly 3 times as much as custom programming that would make the car faster.

Emissions inspection a concern?

Congratulations, you are in the running for 'The post most likely to be ignored due to it's horrifying/hilarious lack of detail'.

In order to ensure that your questions/concerns are addressed in the most expeditious fashion by the wide range of knowledge found here, please provide the following beyond '94 trans am'.

Transmission type, mileage, existing modifications by you or any PO, any known issues with the vehicle and powertrain.

What are your goals/plans with the vehicle, track or DD or both? What is your budget? Have you scoured the forum and found perhaps a vehicle whose modding history you would like to emulate? Have you read the stickies?
