there are lots of better options out there....

If your going to buy a handheld, get something that can be custom programmed.

Diablosport predator has a ton of features for a handheld programmer. Adjust timing, fuel trims, shift points, rev limiter, part throttle shifts, clear codes and other stuff. I've been using it for a while now. Installed some long tube headers a while back and at first the engine light came on. Used the predator to clear the code and fix the problem with the help of diablosport.com. Haven't seen that light on since and the car runs great. You can also get diablosport to custom tune your predator.

Well I had HPP3 way back in the day like in late 02 after I bought my car new. Well I did a little test. Stock my car put down 334 346, With the hpp3 power tune the same day like right after the first run i put down 338 344. But with hooker long tubes ,180 tstat air lid, and slowmaster 80 series on a slighty warmer day the car put down 348 360. The pnly thing i like about the HPP3 Is the little changes you can do. Other than that If I know about the predator I would have bought that.
