Each truck's response to PCM program changes is unique (hence the multiple calibration/hex codes per model year). Perfect settings on your truck may be a disaster for another truck.
I've yet to read a good review of HyperCrap's customer/technical support. Their canned tunes are 'okay', but nothing stellar. If it's not too late, send it back and get a custom tuning device.
Lots of threads in this forum as well as the programmer/tuner forum.

Now granted he is the only one that I know of with that type of review, but I'm sure where there is one there are others.

No complaints with my Hypertech. I've noticed a good butt dyno increase and the mileage has increased about .2 MPG with the same types of driving and colder weather. I haven't had to deal with customer service so I cannot attest to the previous comment. I got a great deal on mine, or I would have waited for a Gryphon or other "custom tune".
If you can get a good deal for the tuner, I would reccomend it, but if you are paying full price, hold out for a better one.
It is easy to use, though I did have to go online and update the programming before I installed it the first time because subsequent tuning had been released. I like the ease of use and the many options (trans shift points, re-gearing, bigger tire compensations,), and most of all, it makes its advertised HP and torque gains on regular gas!
