I ran a Hypertech for two years and liked it. It was easy and fun to play with.You may find that the hypp works better with your stock mass air sensor.Kind of a waste. Nelson does a good tune and can allow for the Granatelli. They cost about the same.Either way it will shift harder and faster at higher RPM and wont shut down at 100.
I run a Nelson tune now because of cam change,I don't think it's faster than it was with hyppIII. But I had been adjusting with that Hypertech for two years,Allen worked on it for a few minutes on a rainy day. It does however idle (with a good thump), and does not stall...That was worth the $$

Mine Too! I have had the HPPIII and the Predator. I just got done putting in one of Nelson's PCMs and there is a noticable differance over them both. Truck runs alot smoother! I hear it gets better after 200 miles or so. Can't wait to see track results.

do u think it is wise to put a nelson tune in as a first mod. i hear they up ur gas mileage by 2-3 mpg. that alone would pay for the tune after long enough.

sure is, beasue if you keep modding it like exhaust, headers, cai, whatever it might be he can tune for those things and send a new one to you for just the shipping charges. hell of a deal wish I had the money on hand.
