Well when I bought my headers, Summit was having a special where if you bought a Hypertech PPIII you get the 180 thermostat for free...

Installed my headers already and while I did that I also changed out my plugs and wires... Havent installed the thermostat....

So I am ready for tune... The only other mod Ive been thinking about is getting e-fans for now but I cant do that anytime soon.

Now after reading various posts here in this forum Im kind of scared to even use this tuner. You see, my truck is my daily driver and I cant afford to f*** it up.

I believe I can still send it back, they have a 90 day return policy. But are the Hypertech tuners really that bad? It seems everyone here goes with Nelsons tuning or Wait4Me tune...

I would just rather be safe then sorry.....

 

Yep, please return it if possible. I've already been down the Hypertech road like many others here, and we'll all tell you it sucks compared to some real tuning. A mail order tune isn't going to mess your truck up so don't even worry about that, just go order one ASAP.

Oh and if you can, return the Shorty headers as well. I'd take the money you get back from both(I'm guessing $500-$600?) and order a Wait4Me tune and PaceSetter LT headers for the same price you payed for both items. I'm just trying to give some friendly advice, but make your own decisions.

Shorty headers + Hypertech = 10-15 HP..
PaceSetter LT headers + Wait4Me = 45-50 HP..

Both combos run around $600, you decide..

 

from what i have been hearing a wait4me tune is just that u have to wait for good customer service,and a good tune my advice is just do all the bolt ons and then just go get a dyno tune

 

Mmm, Dyyynoo Tooon!
