Default HPP3 question

I just installed HPP3 last night and installed the power tune. I didn't get any knocking. If it doesn't knock can I still lose power or should it help the power. I can't really feel any difference in SOTP. I am just trying to figure out if I should leave the power tuning on or take it off. What are you guys experiences with HPP3 and the power tuning?

Only way to tell really is take it to the track and see if you pickup some mph ... I didn't have any luck w/the HPP3 tuning (actually lost power) ... but it really depends on the car...

If you can hit a track, try a few passes w/the tuning, then let the car cool and try a few passes w/out the tuning...

Thanks, I am going to the track tonight. I will let you know what the verdict is.

I went to the track last night and the HPP3 knocked off .2 seconds on my 1/8 mile times and add 1.25 mph. I didn't think it would be that good. I am happy with it now.

After installing the HPPIII I was able to notice a slight difference in the SOTP feel. This was basically from throttle response and the different sound my engine was making.
