(BTW- I had NO idea I had any knock untill I got atap. Screw hyperPING )

Well maybe the HPPIII works for you and maybe you should stick with it. With your mods, maybe you don't need more.
Now, throw in a cam you may want to do, and better exhaust, maybe heads, and you've just out lived your "generic" program. It may run fine, but it will never reach it's full potential without the use of edit or hptuners, whether through you, or a tuner.
Not attacking here, honest. I'm glad somebody got something useful out of one. It didn't really do much for me.

Now this I can believe, because your **** runs! I have a cammed up 6.0L that sooner or later will find its way in my truck. (actually, I ordered the cam kit today) I do realize that sooner or later I will need to either get edit or a custom tune, and I know that Nelson's is the "favorite" for a reason....I just get tired of people talking **** when they haven't even "proven" anything themselves one way or another. Sometimes its like a big echo chamber in here! I hope to have a daily driver mid to low 13 second truck....and I know that probrobally isn't gonna be a reality with a HPPIII. But for guys who's first mod ever may be a Hypertech, I really don't think you can beat it at that point. If you buy it used....you really can't lose. Getting a custom tune as the first mod to me seems like a waste unless that is all you plan on modding. And thanks again BENKEY for the cam install link...I'm gonna need all the help I can get when that thing gets here!
