    Meaning nothing i guess. I can at least change shift firmness, get rev limiter, and some HP I would hope.

    My hypertech just craped out on me and gave me a code 80. So I call hypertech like the programmer said, and the tech guy didn't even have a code 80 listed on his sheet, and sence they don't make my modle any more he said they can't do anything. now I have to have a dealer reflash my computer so when I get efilive i can use it.
    Step 1. crus at it.
    Step 2. get a hammer.
    Step 3. torch it.

    I was happy to get my $100.00 bucks out of mine.
    A real tune is so far advanced than a handheld tuner. It is like night and day.
    When I got my real tune it felt like someone changed the entire engine and transmission.

    +500 You will regret that hand held when an identical truck with a real tune walks awayfrom you... you will love getting a live tune from Nelson Performance - Performance without Sacrificing Drivability

    Like we all said... Nelson gives +35 hp and about a full second off the 1/4 mile.. at least for me anyways. to geta full second off the 1/4 mile doing something else, I think a 100shot would give you a full second off.
