hypertech chips...

I've heard that the Hypertech Thermomaster chip works great on 4th gens, but not on 3rd gens. True?

I had a stage II that I bought used for 45 bucks and tell ya the truth, I would rather go thru www.tbichips.com or someone else and pay 30 bucks for one that gets rid of the governer and much more then what the thermomaster does for 121 bucks. Just my 2 cents.

junk

hey guys

My roomate has a 2.8 maro and he paid clos eto 300 bucks for his hypertech chip. and it made 7 less hp than the stock chip. when comparing the code the only thing they done was turn the fan on @ 165 degrees and changed the idle setting in gear and put in just a tad more timing past 5500

The hypertech doesnt really do much for 4th gens either. The only thing mine is good for is changing shift points and lowering fan setting, thats pretty much it. I would forget the hypertech and get a custom chip.
