Default Hypertech Performance Module on 96 LT1

For anybody that attached the Hypertech Performance Module (HPM)on a 96, automatic, LT1. It appears that when the HPM is on the car, some of the digital mileage or distance remaining, or mileage computations are not correct. Take the HPM off and I think it goes back to being correct. Not a bad thing, just a little annoying. Has anybody else noticed this or is it me?

No real problems. It just seems that the mileage computations are not working properly. The HPM really makes a lot of difference in the performance. The RPM switch sort of scares me a little. RPM is raised about 400 PRM in low gear and a little less through the other gears before shifting.

That stuff doesnt work. Gordon Kilbrew said that stuff is snake-oil.
Your Corvette will run worse, run rich, could burn out your catalytic converters and will make your gas mileage worse.. Also your Corvette will probably run slower. Leave it stock!!!!!
