Hypertech chip - YES or NO ???
I've seen Hypertech chip in Ecklers catalogue for $189.
This doesn't seem very much but I was wondering is it really worth
20 HP as they are saying.
If somebody have any experience with it please let me know if
You were satisfied or not.
I also saw thet there are Stage I and Stage II chip.
Is only diference between stages in fan turning on temp?
Thanks!

I picked up a used Stage on e-bay for $50 and no gain.
Since you have a SD system, you will benefit from a good chip after some air flow mods, like heads and cam and maybe even after extensive exhaust work.

Hypertech... NO, all it does is turn your fans on earlier
a custom burn after you change something like heads/cam/intake...YES

I put a Hypertech stage II in my 92 LT1, and like they say, no difference. It does turn on the fans earlier, but I've put a swith in on my 86 and 87 for $5 that worked just as good.

I purchased an Ed Wright fastchip and have noticed quite a difference. Just ask my wife! :yesnod: Not only did it turn the fans on sooner alllowing a 160 degree stat, it also opened up my rpm band between shifts! :D

:confused: I don't like to spend much time between shifts.
