Default Hypertech computer reprogrammer

I have a 1998 c5 a4 has any one tried the hypertech programmer on their car that can tell me if this is worth the money and can I expect any could gain? Also has anyone ever seen a horepower claim by installing this in the car?

Dwayne, if your C5 is relatively stock, you might see a tenth at the 1/4 mile with the HPP3. Look around and you will see a LOT of people selling their used HPP3 because LS1-EDIT has become available.

Moving this thread to LS1 Computer Programming section

Most of the people who bought Hypertech's were just so that they could change things like gear ratio, rev limiter, etc - not for any real performance gain. In fact my car seemed to run worse with either the RFG or non-RFG tuning.

What was the air/fuel ratio on your dyno test
for the HPP3?
I just bought one for a gear and rev limiter
and I am going to test it on the Dyno when my
clutch gets broken in.
I just want a little heads up.
Thanks
