Default Should I add Power Programming?

Currently I only use my Hypertech for changing my speedo for the 4.10's
Does adding the Power Programming make any difference? I have read different views, some people say they lost HP. Anyone have experience with HPP3?

I've never tested mine on a dyno, but I've track tested it. My car is always consistent, and I lost 1 tenth every time I try adding the programming, even with 94 octane gas. Every car is different though, check it on a dyno or at the track to see if it helps or hurts ya. Try RFG tuning first, and if that works better, then try non-rfg.

I had mine one the dyno and gained 5 HP and 6 TQ when I took it out. I use it for the fans only. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

When I bought mine it was to change the speedo for the gear change only,but when I added the programming I lost .2 secs with it on the track with the stock gears.I haven't had a chance to try it with the new gears though. But try it my friend acually did gain .1 sec with it on his car.So I think it is hit or miss depending on the car.
