HPP3 Tunning Question I've seen a lot of post lately regarding the "cutom tunning" from the Hypertech...
I've read everything from you can 10rwhp, to you can losy 15+rwhp!
Does anyone have any actually proof, dyno or otherwise, about whether it is a good option or not?
Also, I have a 98, and I have heard that the tunning helps the car run a bit more lean, since them come a bit "rich" from the factory...any truth to that?
Thanks in Advance

Re: HPP3 Tunning Question I have a 98 SS, and with the HPP power tune, Auto tap showed 6 degrees of knock retard only at the wide open fuel map. (Fuel map 22). That can't be too good. I took off the 'power programming' and now I see no knock retard at all. I think maybe hypertech just tried too hard.
p.s. I have a MAFT, and I tried to richen the fuel mixture with the HPP, no luck.
