Question Hypertech Programmer

Has Anyone Used A Hypertech Programmer On A Ex V10? I Have A Gibson Exhaust And K&n Fipk, Will The Programmer Make A Difference In Power Or Is It A Waste Of Money?

With 16,300 miles, you'll see a continually enhanced performance and pickup with the Hypertech.

There are some insightful user reviews on our Hypertech Power Programmer product page here:

I do use the hypertech on my 04 v10. After I did the 4" lift and changed the tires it was nice to be able to true the speedo again. Also, on longer trips I can set to towing mode which is nice when I take the boat. I have the same mods as you (exhaust/intake). Was the power gains huge....probably not, but a little more torque and great for the towing. There are some other settings, but I beleive premium fuel is needed for those (like the towing mode). So my beast drinks ripple most of the time and only gets the champagne on longer trips.

I'd check with DP-tuner if they have something for the V10 instead of a Hyperjunk. I'd go with superchips before I get a hyperjunk

I'd go with a custom tuned Superchips XCalibrator2... I have one tuned by Troyer Performance and I love it. The best performance mod I have done by far...
