Default Hypertech Programmers? Anyone?

Hey guys whats going on..well this is my 1st post..I'm a proud owner of the '95 C4 LT-1 and '04 C5..I had the C4 since March '07 and now decided to add some mods to it..had C5 since '06..between these 2 vettes I pick my Admiral Blue
C4 over the white C5 anytime..so my wife gets to drive the C5 mostly...What kind of easy bolt-on mods would you do or have done? On my C4 so far all I have is just the Muffler Eliminators with LT-1 Style look tips..I like the sound when stepping on it...but when letting off the gas pedal the sound of the gurgling sucks..its an Auto I'll just have to get used to it I guess..Has anyone added or have the Hypertech Programmer on C4?..I'm wondering if you notice any power gains and is it worth it?...

Default Not

Not on my vette but I did use Hypertech on my Tahoe Z71. The power gains were zero. I mainly bought it to solve the indecisive trans shifting.

I can say I used SCT on my Marauder and it feels like a different car. From kitten to beast.

Maybe look at Predator I've heard good things about them.

There is no free lunch as far as performance goes. Read the Tech FAQ especially Nathan Plemmons LT1 performance link. Here it is.
