Not really. You want a Superchips for a mostly stock based engine and a Diablosport for a modified engine. They are the only 2 programmers I would reccomend. They have the most user adjustability and options.
There's a reason why those sell so cheap...


Check out the stickied threads at the top of the page for Superchip/Diablo info.

Rip off----.. Hypertech is vehicle specific.. you need to enter the VIN and lock the vehicle... they only work on 1 vehicle. I have a Hypertech and it is worless. Mine doesn't do crap, no trans mods, no speedo adjustment, no tire changes, Worst money i have ever spend... Plus they do not update anything.

ALL tuners are locked to 1 vehicle while using the tune. Once you remove the tune, the vin gets unlocked and then you can use the tuner on another vehicle. Every tuner has this feature!

I won't touch a Hypertech after my buddy fried all his Vette computers with one.

Oh, so you believe a tuner company should sell a tuner for $300 and let 100 guys pony up a buck a piece and share it?

No tuner by any company will allow you to use their product on multiple vehicles at the same time.

Depends on if you think $150 is a good deal for a paperweight. I agree with all the intelligent posts and say Superchips unless you are gonna do heads and/or a cam then it's a Diablo...
