most people say they're not worth the money. i believe you'd be better off with a tune from Wait4Me or another reputable company. lots of guys on here have the W4M tunes and are happy with them.

with the tune there are more variables to play with. such as torque management, shift points, rev limiter, etc.

i think the Hyper has only a few options.

 

I'm running it on my 02, I've honestly never felt any difference in power with it. I do like the fact that I can change shift points and rev limiter and other changes like tire size and gear ratio if needed.

And hey by minor bolt ons on your 02 what do you mean? Headers and a CAI?

 

ok thanks and BlkBlzr01 Where do you get the W4M Tunes and how do u load them into your truck?? is it a programmer too or do u have to do it with a lap top or something??

 

it's not a portable programmer. they actually reprogram the stock computer. not sure how they do it, but you can give them a list of what you want done and they'll make it happen. you can either send your pcm in or they'll provide you one for an extra charge.

probably best to give them a call

 

the biggest thing I liked is you didnt have to give it a shit ton of gas everytime you were going up a hill...it would just cruise

 

Really could u post some pics of that truck on ur avatar im asuming thats the one u have the hypertech on it looks just like my truck? and is it 4x4? and what year?

 

I got one for my 02 off ebay for $20 bucks then had it reset for $60, so for $80 total bucks I had a perfectly working programmer....It didn't make a difference at all when I first installed it, but the more I drove it & about 500 miles later it started to pick up & now it has a little more low-mid range power....cause its somewhat harder to hook up...so I guess it has to program itself over time.

I called hypertech & the guy claimed that the programmers really help the 2002 models out a lot for some reason, but the 2000, 2001, 2003 didn't do as well. Go to www.hyptertech.com & see your vehicle horsepower gains.

Ok thats weird but good for you!! ha And do you hav the power programmer 3 or the max energy?

 

haha ya

 

So what does that help??

 

Thing you got to understand that these programmers were designed to be 'legal' and therefore not do too much which could void warranty when new. So they are mild. They also were designed to improve a stock vehicle. Adding mods which change the powerband and tuning needs (like full exhaust, headers, rocker arms, full intake, etc) the tuner will not be able to help you get the most from your mods.
Best is to have a local person who has a tuner program like HPTuners and a Dyno to do a on-dyno tune. That will show you a real-world difference and have a dyno sheet to prove it. But that cost $$$
Next Best is a tune of your PCM or a spare PCM from someone like Wait4Me, Blackbear, PCMForLess, etc. They are able to get you more gains, adapt for whatever your intent is (tow, perf, economy) and adapt for mods. Usually the best way is to buy a TunedPCM from them so you have yours as a spare in case the other one isnt right, goes bad or you have to get a re-tune. And uually re-tunes are Free or cost little if you do more mods.

 

^^^more wheel travel and tons of body roll...very fun on the street

 

Really?? You need to space the rear wheels out some to make it look a lil more even...still looks sweet tho..

 

old school american racing wheels

 

Thats cool...Are they slots or what? or is old school the style?

 

here yo go

 

They kinda look like extreme wheels...almost...ha good lookin wheel tho!!

 

thanks i been wanting to get them powdercoated just not sure if i wanna commit to it

 

What color...Black?? im wantin to get these eagle alloy 135 i cant decide between the black or the polished!!! ha

 

ya i wanna do black, I had black wheels on my old s10 and there just way easier to clean just whipe them offf instead of polishing them..but when you have a nice polished up wheels the truck looks awesome...I think those chrome ones would look better on your truck then those other ones, and heres my old s10 with the black wheels

 

Yea thats pretty sweet...thats what i was thinkin with the black ones...but those a polished aluminum so it shouldnt be that bad to keep clean...not as bad as chrome anyways!!

 

ya true still a bitch to polish up..nothing beats just wiping off black rims

 

Yeah True that!! Those black eagles still have a lil polished on them so I could have the best of both worlds! ha And its not really polished aluminium its kinda brushed...
