Default HyperTech for a 2003 HD?? Y or N?

2003 Silverado 2500 HD, exhaust and a UPD intake. Factory 4.10's.

Will the Hypertech give me anymore power? Is it a worthwhile modification?

Get a Wester's or Nelson's tuned PCM, they'll make way more difference then the hypertech. if you use the truck to tow your car, Wester's can make you a program to improve it's towing ability (Nelsons probably does too, but I don't know for sure). Tbryne motorsports is holding a group buy on right now for the Wester's, good until the 20th of Feb. Link for Wester's is in my sig

L82 is your Nelson tune a mail order or driven tune?
