I got a programmer on the way. I have to get ride of my chip because im going to go with n.o.s. soon and need a way to retard my timing. I got a hypertech. Any suggestions on what i should set stuff at on it. Ive never used one of these so im just looking for any help really.

Why didnt you get a SCT or Diablo tuner?

As far as the timing goes I think like Nitrous Express has info on how much to retard the timing.

If it isn't too late, cancel the Hypertech and get an SCT Excalibrator 2 or a Diablosport Predator. You'll get next to no suport with the Hypertech and from what I recal, they don't have near the adjustable parameters as the other two.

I don't even think you can use the Hypertech to adjust the timing. Sell it and buy a Xcal2 . You need to retard the timing 2 degrees for every 50 shot. You'll also need NGK TR6 spark plugs.

I didnt think you could adjust the timing with the hypertech but I couldn't remember.

I would cancel/sell the hyper and get a XCal2. MPH sells them and so does Brenspeed both are great and have real good mail order tunes. Im sure they could send you a good tune for the nitrous setup if you want.

Yea I have a suggestion. Cancel/return that hypertech and get an SCT. Hypertech is garbage. I bought one for my last car (96 blazer) and it didn't do a damn thing. I've never met anyone who had good things to say about hypertech.
