So looking for some extra horses and I kinda have my heart set on a Jet system. My question was what would you all reccomend between a module or a programmer. I would spring for the stage II if I got the module.
Thanks for the input.

So not like any of ya'll care, but I orderd the module and it should be in mid-next week. And I'll post my "review" that no one will even look at... *sigh*

I'll probably look! :P
I got the hypertech programmer... But I'm seriously considering a professional tune if I can find a place in town to do it... I HATE with a passion, even! That damned RPM "safety" feature of where the RPM's don't drop when I take my truck out of gear, unless I have the clutch pressed in...
The only thing that worries me is if I take it to the dealer and they re-flash it, lol.

I wasn't really looking for going as far as a new pcm, I just wanted to be able to plug it in and go and WHEN something went wrong I could just yank it out real quick and have it back to stock. That was whats worried me most about a re-flash.

Then the hypertech style will work good for you... takes like 5 - 10 minutes to switch from programmed to stock, and back again.

Well the module came in yesterday and I had it in about 20 minutes after it arrived. Install was a snap, and I am pleasantly suprised about the difference in performance. Had a happy little bark from the tires when I gunned it on a freshly paved road, which has never happened to me at this altitude (7,000ft). Great gains for the price ($220 plus shipping). the best part is that when you pop the hood there is zero sign of it.

Was this just a chip module or something you plug into the OBD port and can change tire size and all that jazz? If it was a plug in programmer what kind of gains (mpg, HP, ft-lbs) did you gain if you can measure that. Also where did you buy it from because if it can change the tire size and give me a boost in performance and gas mileage i might have to buy me one of these. Thanks

HP Tuners isn't really new, per say...
Too bad it doesn't support the '05 Blazer, or I'd have a Hypertech PPIII for sale, lol.

The new verision of HPT supports the 98-00......I'm sure they will come out with it for the 01-05's.
If I sent someone the HPT program and the stock tune off of the blazer can someone look at it.....someone that knows alittle bit about tuning the blazer..

Just yesterday I bought an unlocked Hypertech PPIII #30012 for the Blazer. Getting it from an individual for a price I couldn't resist. I figure if I don't like the results, I won't be out that much $$.

What does unlocked mean in this case? I know that once you program with one of those to a specific vehicle it becomes vin locked. Is this still the case if you were to program your vehicle with it?

When a PCM has been programmed with one of these tuners, the tuner will lock itself to that VIN. Once the PCM is reset to stock, it will unlock and be ready for programming on any vehicle on the application list.
Ron, programming a PCM is a pretty involved deal and great care must be taken. There are a few tutorials online on where to start, but take baby steps on your tuning and keep a close eye out for detonation (knock sensor active count).

The HPT is good up until the 2004 year... Not sure what changed between '04 and '05, but according the the email I got, it won't work for the '05 year...
Maybe I should find a stock '04 PCM and swap it in, lol
