programmer took a dump.
When I bought my truck, it came with an "OLD" Hypertech power programmer 3. It took a dump on me this weekend when I tried to change settings and locked me in the stage 1 setting. I have reset the computer to back to factory settings and will be ordering the DP Turner this week.
This isnt a debate on which turner is best. Based on what I have read, this seems to be one of the favorites with most and I like what I have read.
My question is to the ones that run the DP. I ran the Hypertech in the stage 3 (100 hp) setting mostly, how much of a difference will I notice in the new turner vs. the old one? The new tuner will have the high idle (1100 rpm), stock, 80 hp tow, 80 hp econ and 120 race settings. At least that is my plan.

bit the bullet and ordered the dp tuner today. cant wait to see the differences.
i went with the no start, 1100 high idle, stock, 80 tow, 80 econ and the 120 race. it will be nice to get some power back.

^^ what they said... DP 80e will smoke the HT or SC programmer's highest setting. I thought my truck was bad *** with the SC Cortex programmer, now with my DP tunes... no comparison!!
Oh and that 120 race tune... be prepared to smile ear to ear

WRONG!!!!! you will probably see a significant drop in mpg's, at least for the first couple of weeks till you can learn to keep your foot off the skinny pedal
I really didn't see any increase, but also did not notice any bad decrease in mileage.

you got me on the spelling... my fingers sometimes suffer from touretts and it gets me in trouble. especially when i am driving 
as far as the mileage, i dont expect much the first few weeks either newihgfvnwegrb, sorry dang fingers again... i guess if i can see alot of power without a decrease in mpg then it is all good!
