Hypertech Tuner

Have been gone for a few weeks, but just checked back and noticed that hypertech now has a tuner for the 6.0. Just wondering if anyone had an opinion on it and how it might compare to the Predator (or Superchip but I have been leaning towards the Predator). Any response would be great. And if I missed this discussion, sorry....but I did do a search before posting.

Even though it is marketed as a tuner, it is really a fuel box that plugs in rather than loads a program...

I don't know the HP or TQ rating, or the specs of the unit even, but I had a Hypertech PPIII in my old 2003 5.4 liter and when I upgraded to the 1715 SCMT, there was no comparison. IMO the hypertech stuff is shoddy and cheap, and really doesn't make much power (at least on the gas engine end, I don't know about the diesels).

If you plan on going with gauges, you should consider the Edge/Attitude setup. Built-in gauges, and it makes more power than the Predator or SCMT either one. The Edge is the way to go IMO.

I know a guy that has 1 in a 7.3 litre and likes it well enough - paid about 3 bills for it. Makes decent power.


But if you can swing it, my opinion is to run the Edge/Attitude combo also.
