I have been searching and reading a ton of post on the hypertech (power module) chips.....seems to have mixed emotions among the forum....anyone with a GEN2 have an example of good or bad?

Hypertech chips = no good but Hypertech also makes a power programmer which plugs into the OBD port for other vehicles (Hemi' etc ..) that you can change paramters and have 4 different performance settings.

I have a Hypertech programmer for my truck and it has made a considerable difference in performance. I did contact Hypertech a while ago asking if they had a unit for my 93 and they do. If I get enough extra cash this summer I plan on buying and if not satisfied will return it.

Makes a slight difference in my 92mtx.When its out I can tell running through the rpms, everyone seems to have their own opinion, if you dont have any other mods I wouldnt bother yet.A nice catless y and cai and exhaust and the chip its a good recipe if you ask me.And mine came out of my 89 mtx and its been over a year and not a prob as of now.Maint is first and foremost then the mods.Just my o2.

One thing I learned a while back is that the butt dyno is VERY deceiving.

Just because it feels faster, doesn't mean it is... It can actually be slower, but change the powerband to feel faster. Ask me how I know....

I have one too that I pulled off an ECU at the JY. When I first got it I put it in just for fun. It increased my rev limiter and felt faster, but I had no clue what it was programmed for, so I pulled it out.

I have one that I found in my 89. I installed in on the 94 and did a few test runs and recorded a video for it. There was definitely a difference. More tq below 3000rpms, and going through 6-7krpm was cut down by almost a full second. It also removed my rev limiter and my secondaries open up a little bit sooner (3200ish rpms)

I have some time please share.

My 214whp SHO lost to a stock SHO.

:evilgrin:

My car was healthy, though. And your car could've probably been a LOT faster if we'd been as good with the TwEECer then as we are now.
I don't know if you remember, but the sucker felt much faster (>5k RPM) than it was.
