It will still work on same year car ('98 LS1), only if you set the formula back to stock before getting rid of the car. The way Hypertech stops people from using one programmer on everyone and their mom's car is like this- once you program your car with the Hypertech, it retains the original program from the factory. The only way you can reprogram another car is to swap programs first. Then you'll be able to use it again, but only with a same year car you bought it for.

Just save some money and get Predator or LS1 Edit. HPP# is too limited once you mod your car H/C, headers etc...

Predator is a handheld programmer made by Diablo and LS1Edit is a very powerful, laptop based software made by Carputing. Sponsors (---->) carry the Predator but I can't remember if any of them carry edit or if you have to get it directly from carputing or not. Good luck.

If you buy a new predator its gonna run you about 420, but sell your hypertech its pretty much junk except for the shift points and rev limiter. Predator will be very beneficial when you want to do more mods. Plus with Predator you can do real time diagnostics. Its a very nice product and I highly recommend it. Good Luck
