Default Hypertech 3 questions

I decided to get the H3 until I get my supercharger. This way I can play with things until I get a real setup the way I want. I was hoping some people that have this could let me know about what is the best setup for this unit.

How high can you set the shift point safely without harming the motor at all, and what should the rev limiter be set at? I know that 5200rpm stock, seems like a real short shift for this motor? Also how much torque management do I need for this vehicle?

Thanks for any info.

If you are serious about all the mods your planning on running,you would do best to go ahead and purchase LS1 Edit.That's just my opinion though.

Not sure how high you can safely go with stock internals but you can't do anything about torque management with HPP3.

Doesn't seem like anyone knows about how to tune these. I am used to working on carburated motors, that I can adjust for the performance of the motor. The fine tuning of these fuel injections I would rather leave to the experts. The Radix charger I want, already comes with programming that you gotta keep if you want their warrenty to stay in existance. I am looking at least 7 months before I will buy the supercharger, to fully break in the motor first. I figure what is $300 bucks for a programmer though, this way I can change my tire size, rear gear, top speed limiter, and whatnot. So my questions would also be, what can this stock internal motor handle as for bolt on power. My Tundra has a 7lb charger and is making about 385hp with all the other goodies. I can custom tune that for more power, but Toyota says that the tranny can barely handle that, and they don't make the parts for it like the chevy has. I have built a 302 that made 450 at the crank with supercharging, and I went 60,000 miles on the block with stock internals, and no problems. I am wondering what this 5.3 can do?

Might get a Diablo programmer instead, don't know for sure.
