Hypertech Power Programmer VS Powerloader
Hey...
Just needed to know what the difference is between the Hypertech Power Programmer and the Powerloader??
The only reason im really considering the Hypertech is because i dont feel like waiting 4 or more weeks for the Powerloader.
So what are the diffs between them, which would you reccomend and why, and also for people who own the Hypertech (or if you know) how do you program it? I know the Powerloader comes programmed to you and only takes a couple min to install but what about the hypertech since its not programmed specifically for your specs like the powerloader is than how complicated is it to program the Hypertech-easy or hard...what do you need to do?
Thanks for your time
By the way-I have a Haltech Tric and Borla XR1 right now and later will be getting a ls6 intake, SLP Mass Airflow sensor, Headers, and maybe some small things here and there.....so based on those mods is either one better to get?
Also in the future I may get a Torque Converter

Seems that most people here prefer the powerloader over Hypertech. Don't be afraid of ordering the Powerloader. I ordered mine a few weeks ago and received it in less the 2 weeks. Give the people at Exit28 a call.

The Hypertech is really easy to use and only takes a few minutes to upload. It basically goes through a series of questions that you answer before you upload. Very simple. The reason I like it is that it "trades" your stock program for your custom program and you can reinstall your stock program at any time.

Re: Hypertech Power Programmer VS Powerloader (USMUSCL)
My understanding is that the powerloader actually works on timing, fuel/air ratios etc. -- i have used both, if you want SOTP go powerloader. If you want convenience of being able to self program tire changes, shift points or gears then go hyper. But for actual rwhp go powerloader. I had 0 rwhp dyno result from hyper and dyno result of about 8-10 rwhp from powerloader. Both have their purpose.
