Default Hypertech or Predator?

I'm sure this has been covered b4 but there are newer models out now....which is best for the C5 and is this what I need to do shift point changes for a rear dif swap? I found one for $319, is that a good price for Hypertech?

Shoot Id sell you mine it works fine... Pm me and ill send you my paypal.. I want 125 for it.... plus shipping

Mine is the hypertech... I cant use it now that I get it dyno tuned...

Its going to have to be reprogramed since it was used on my car...Google it up... I think they do it for like 40 bucks... It basically uncodes my car from the unit.. still alot cheaper than 319....

Is 319 for a Hypertech Max Energy or a Econ? The Econ won't have the tuning features you need.
