I have recently installed a hypertech in my 89 sho, well I had purchased it from a friend, and I was wondering if anybody knows approxomiatly how many pony's I gain by installing it.

I know a few things about it, such as it opens my seconday injectors at about 3500 rpm instead of 4000, and it adjusts the air/fuel intake at higher rpms.

about the electric supercharger, I was thinking about beefing up my air intake with one, and was wondering if anybody has anything that they can tell me about it b4 I spend my cash. (in other words does it work well enough for me to buy?)

Hypertech chip maybe 5hp. LPM's usually help support other mods that give you more power like cams, different MAF's etc. Chips or LPM alone really don't give you much power by themselves although they can make the car feel faster with a better throttle response from the more agressive timing. You will need to run the higher octane gas to take advantage of the more aggresive timing.
Don't waste your money on the electric supercharger.
The one mod that will give you the most power for the buck is a high performance Y-pipe. I would save your money to do all the maintenance and get a y-pipe.

As for octane all I run is premium anyways.

Weh we talk about y-pipes I am going to purchase some soon, but I was curious about those too... cats, or no cats?

You don't have secondary injectors. There is only 1 fuel injector per cylinder. You do have secondary intake runners.

the electronic super charger is JUNK. Don't spend your dough on it. I also second a good aftermarket Y pipe. The best bang for the buck if you own a 5speed SHO.
