Hypertech chip Ques

[wlaukaitis]

Hi folks!!

Does anyone have any specs or info on the Hypertech chips? It is what came with my car and I would like to know what it does. I am not sure how old it is..Thanks!!

Are there any engravings on the chip? If there is, you can call Hypertech and they should be able to answer any questions..

JMO but i bought my car last summer and it had a really old hypertech chip in it. i used to get a lot of stutter and stalling on startup and driveability due to the converter locking early was horrible. about 3 weeks ago i purchased a JL 93 street chip and cannot beleive the difference. car idles smooth, doesnt die anymore, and converter lockup, temp, and overall driveability is 100% better. if i were you id ditch that old piece of crap and get a JL or Reds chip ASAP, trust me youll thank me later

Look into Thrasher also. Great chip for the money

Be careful with the Thrasher- apparently Thrasher just sold their code and there are a bunch of ripoffs with unknown modifications (see Thrasher web site).

I hear good things about Turbotweak-

Turbotweak will be my next chip! Thrasher is working out pretty good, but turbotweak I hear is best street.

hypertech chips

i had same question to post but saw yours
i received a chip with my gn (in glove box)
its a hypertech 41 371
they have a web site and managed to locate the chip
mine is a street runner powerchip for 3.8 auto w/od fed emmission, for stock daily driver , it increases boost and raises lockup RPM , doesnot affect mileage or emisions

the 41 372 is a thermomaster power chip for use with 160 deg/180 deg powerstat , it works with the lower stat temp to prevent problems , besides doing same as streetrunner chip it also is changes fan kick in
