It looks pretty good, I don't know if it's 800 good though. It would be nice to turn the fans on all the time in some situations

DEFINATLY not worth it. That is the biggest rip off. I can get a stand alone editor for my car for half that price and it can do 50x more than that little thing.

Considering what that chip actually does, it really should be about half that price.

The most I've seen for a power programmer was about $500, and thats still a lot. The ones that tweak diesels for 50-100HP gains are only about $400, so what makes this one so special?? Obviously the performance gains aren't even close.

Hopefully they'll drop the price within a couple months. I doubt they'll sell many at that price.

considering if it really works it's worth the money since there is no other product out there to do this right now.


just my opinion.

ok I did some more searching, hypertech doesn't have anything on their site about this and the other places I found said it was "COMING SOON".

Seems like vaporware at this point.

Even though this product doesn't exist for our cars yet the Hypertech Power Pac is pretty damn sweet.

Especially in trucks. Besides programming it is also like a G-Tech Meter but much, much better.

It was at SEMA and I belive it won several awards allready.

And why is anyone here saying it's to expensive, $600 for a half ass Cat-Back is expensive.

I am not sure what that is supposed to mean, but it's off topic and I have yet to see a thread for any part where someone doesn't say it's too expensive.

Quite a few people comment on the price above.

And I ws saying that because this would be a better value vs a Cat-Back for $600.
