Yes, dont bother with the hypertech.......not worth the money. IF you want to program the PCM send it out to Ion at madz28.com or Ed Wright. Much better programming for less money......

... a Hypertech can be usefull for some things.... (when you change gear ratios, raise rev limiter, fans can be turned on @ 180*, thermostat open @ 180*) If you pick one for cheap it is an OK buy, but if you want to gain some ponies might want to consider getting a mail order tune, or better yet a custom dyno tune.
