Default Does anyone use or have tried the - Hypertech Programmer III

Has anyone out there ever used this device. It reads pretty good. I was so interested that I decided to try it on my C4, about 4 years ago, I did not have mods on the C4 except for the Greenwood ground effects package, but I could from the start feel quite a difference in the transmission shifting smoother, with this change I also installed a 160 deg in lieu of the stock 180 deg thermostat. I still have the hypertec on my C4 after some 127,000 miles. By the way I have never had to add oil before changes........the only problem I had with that car.......was keeping my foot out of the gas tank.

But regarding my C5, has anyone used hypertec...................

I bought one a couple of years ago to adjust the fan-on temps and firm up the trans shifts. Works for me.

yes, i have a hypertech on my 97, and i use it to increase rev limiter, shift quicker, and turn fans on at 165 degrees with my 160 thermo they are worth the money. I would buy it again.

Did you go with the standard set-up or did you go with a customized set-up ?
