Anyone try the Hypertech tuner?

They sell a handheld unit for the 2.4 Claims that it will add 10hp and about 10Ft lbs. Plus you can change shift points and the firmness of shifts. All for $380. Anyone try one of these?

I believe he asked 'if anyone tried one', not 'what do you think I should use'.

Hey turbo can you link me to where you found the hypertech. I've been looking at different tuning options for mine and am interested in reading up on the hypertech as well.

I would be interested in seeing reponses as well. I had a Hypertech on my S-10...definitely worth the money. I'm holding back on a real tune because I'm still under warranty and I need to be able to revert back to my stock tune at any time. I would like a Trifecta tune, but I'm not paying the crazy amount to keep a cable around plus the tune...I think it comes out to over $550 if you buy your own cable. I'm just not sure a Trifecta tune would be $200 better than something like the Hypertech. I can get a HP Tune locally for $300, but again there's really not a good option for going back to stock.
