I like the slight chirp of 2nd gear, but in actuality it is hard on the drive train. A lot of people will make it chirp and then either drop the pressure just a bit or add a little torque management.
Either way you should get a Corevette 1-2 servo, Shift kit, and Billet 3-4 servo for your transmission.

If you want a device to show for it and you have a laptop. Just Buy EFI live or HPTuners and learn to tune yourself. I purchased EFILive from a friend and love it. If you take your time and don't overwhelm yourself it's absolutely great to have.
It goes above and beyond what you can do with a handheld.
I recommend EFI Live v2.

which one has the cool effect seein at the track? a guy playin with his hypertech or a guy whipping out his laptop makin changes on it?

efi live and hp tuners do the same thing. find which one ya want. some places you can still get the efi live v1 with an lc1 wideband fairly cheap. but if your going to go that route get ready to spend months on the forums reading how to tune. or yo could just have some one tune it for you.

You would get more satisfaction playing with yourself than playing with a hypertech
