They don't change any PIDs.... and they don't yield 15-20 hp... (I think they pull this number out of their asses. but regardless... most cars will not see this gain)

Their tune is a joke... it ups the timing and leans the fuel out at WOT... that's pretty much it... (which is why the powetune causes some cars sto start pinging)

i'm not sure how ford programming is stock.. but i'm sure they're taking a best case situation and advertising that...

if you search the bin repository I believe there are a few tunes from a Hypercrap

depends on the car... if you want to base the HP gains on 1/4 mile times... I lost 1/10th when I installed the HPP3 programming way back in 2000 ... so my net gain was -10hp

their power programming is a canned tune that for the most part will only yield max results on a 100% car (start changing MAF, lid, etc... and it can hurt you) ... but even some `100% stock cars have lost power because the tune leans them out too much or adds too much timing....

I'm sure on most cars it does add power but I doubt the average gain would be more than 5-7hp ... it's like K&N advertising their filters gain 10hp ... or a MAF advertising 35hp , etc...


For the most part I hang out near the Schaumburg area... but now that it's getting colder... car will probably go to sleep very soon and i'll become much more of a hermit heh
