Anyone gone faster with stock PROM rather than a Hypertech??

I am thinking for my next mod I should swap back in the stock PROM. Hypertechs seem to be expensive run rich sticks. I can do without on of those..Has anyone noticed any gains by putting their old PROM back int?

Should I move this to TPI? The PROM board is smart enough to never have used Hypertech..So I don't think that's a good idea..

Yarnboy: actually, post this question on the prom board. You will find a more definite answer with proof to back it up. I am also for sure though that they will tell you to ditch it.
