HPP3 = $300 new
Custom tune is about the same, some less, some more but all worth 10x what the handheld can do for you. You can just go and shell out for HPT or EFI live and learn to tune on your own.

i regret buying a HPP3.

custom tunes weren't popular on this website when i bought it. after i bought the HPP, custom tunes became the hot topic.

the HPP3 was only good for raising shifts points and rev limiter

haha, some of these comments are kind of funny.... well, i had a hypertech in my old truck and i liked it, but after i got a custom tune, i wouldnt have it any other way....
by the way, i just got myself a new laptop so that i can get hptuners and tune myself....
