FYI, the dyno results they sent were in an Excel file. I printed it to .pdf to post it.
Dunno why they didn't send "real" dyno results.
I'll probably order one since I can always eBay it if I don't think it's worth it. I'm not going to pay for dyno time, though (unless everyone wants to chip in ;) ...I'll just see how it "feels".
I was hoping for a few more options with this programmer. Superchips confirmed that there was one (they called it "light performance") program included and that none of the parameters were adjustable. I guess that's to keep you from destroying your engine...
Also, you can put the stock program back with the programmer.

Yup...but a little harder to use (no simple "plug, click, and go").
The Dyno graph looks like a PowerPoint Presentation rather than from an
actual dyno file. It's, more than likely, accurate for their test
vehicle. Hopefully, they'll "CYA" and post it as "up to" specs. If
they're correct...not bad at all for just a simple programmer.

Which part of 18+% HP and torque improvement all by itself would you be
ojecting to? Do you know if any other parts in that price range that
will offer that kind of pickup?
$16.25/HP looks pretty good to me for a V6
