Though not a custom I bought a HyperTech Stage II for an '87 Vette on e-bay for $50 and installed it...NADA (same trap speed as with OEM CalPac).

Hypertech is the worst chip you can buy. If you have major mods, like new intake, engine work and all that, then you still shouldnt have paid more than like $300 or so. I do think you got jipped, unless they charged dyno time or somthin in with that.

just for reference, my chip tuner had my car for a bunch of days, had the pass side seat full of data-logging equipment and dialed the new motor in awesome. That was $750.00.
Hypertech=crap
BTW, anyone wanna buy my old HT chip? :lol:
