Default what programmer should I get

I am looking into getting a pogrammer like the hpp3 or superchips. I had a hpp3 on my other 99ta back in 1999 I am sure there are better out there now. What do you guys suggest? I also have a lap top do they have any thing you can use with a lap top thats not too complicated?

I wouldn't waste your money on a hpp3. I'm going with HP Tuners. It may be $500-$650 but you can do so much with it and there are forums and other tuners who can help you figure it out if you ever need help.

Personally I got tired of driving out to a shop to tweak my tune, its much more convenient to be able to do it all at home.

I have some SCT handhelds in stock, they hold 3 of my custom tunes for ANYTHING that you request. Plus you get free updates on them for life of the vehicle, so any mods are covered. That or if you want tuning software, we give you a free tune for your mods to help you learn, when you buy it thru me.
