Default Need advice

I have two questions I can use some help on.

1. I'd like to install headers on my '99. Thinking of used TPIS. What years fit, and how do I tell the difference?
2. How does Hypertech reprogrammer work? Is it a one time thing as you download performance data and simutaneously upload stock settings? If after downloading performance settings, can you somehow reset the Hypertech and reprogram another car? Doesn't seem reasonable since there'd be only one sold new. If buying used, how can I tell what's in there?

Much thanks to anyone that can help.

It only programs one car and they are junk.

Default need advice "ditto"

I wish I could have asked so clearly as mcocchiola did, he asked exactly what I need to know also, John is their a recommendation you would make on a instrument you have knowledge on or used to do all these things, like re-programing the rev limiter for one?

Thanks
Dipper

You are better with a dyno tune if you are near someone who is good. The Vette Doctors offer a mail order tune which is not perfect as them putting it on a dyno but it will help you greatly. You need to tell them any mods you have.
