Hypertech lll for a 1998
Are these programmers any good or should I spring for Ls1 Edit? I think they have 3 programs built in. Need some input before I go shopping.
Thanks, Larry

Larry, your profile is blank, so I don't know if you have the manual or A4.
I have a Predator handheld and it's been quite a useful tool. But most of the gains with handhelds will be with A4 equipped C5's.
Also, if your engine is moderately/heavily modded, you need more than what a handheld can offer.

I agree with the above. If you want a hand held then get something other than a hypertech. The hypertech I had scrambled my pcm twice

street tune. Alot of tuners will do that for you. Better than a handheld tune and more precise for your car and not as expensive as a dynotune.

Get a real tuner like ls1edit, hptuners or efilive. There is plenty of help available on their forums.
