Comments:
Programming was kind of slow and painful, about an hour total to change programming. Eats away at your valuable track time when all you really want to do it change on settings.

Good if you only need to change gears or tire height but otherwise completely useless. My car ran slower with the HPP Power tuning but it did work well for getting the gears right.

Comments:
Piece of cake to install. Kinda pricey at $350. Car idles great, sounds nice, runs smooth, no detonation. Definate SOTP gain. Low end seems the same, but car definately has a noticable boost in power from 2500RPM up. Car seems more "peaky", not as flat accelerating as stock. Overall good buy. (also added the 160 degree powerstat at same time.)

Comments:
Not too bad of a programmer, not worth full price. Noticeable firmness in shifting and top end power. Greast because you can higher Rev limiter and adjust fan temps. Going to switch to Micro tuner Superchips.
