I'm which of the handheld programmers is best? As much as I'd love to get a nelson tune It doesn't seem practical for my application. I intend on changing rims (and dia's) between summer and winter and sending the pcm away sounds like unnecessary downtime to me. I live in cental Canada making shipping even more of a PITA. So who has the best handheld? Jet,Granetelli,Hypertech,Crane, any others? who has the biggest real world hp gains and trans adjustability? Is there anything out there more advanced than the handhelds? Something that'll give me even more bang for the buck. Thanks

If I were getting a handheld it would be a hypertech, but then again I would never buy one. They just don't compare, and the money would be much better spent on a real tune...

there is really no downtime except the time it takes to put one in. You just order a new one and as soon as you get your update, you send back the one you had. Right now i have 2 sitting around that i need to send back :crazy:

From what I have heard the SPE proflash is the one to go with if you want a handheld.

It is the only one I am aware of that gets rid of some of the torque management.

If you get the predator, they can also make custom tunes for you. I would think it would be the next best thing. The only downside is that it writes to your pcm, so you can't sell it if you eventually go to a custom tune.

The whipple programmer is supposed to get rid of some TQM too but i havn't heard anything about it in a long time, i also think they are a bit more pricey than a hypertech

I should mention, I thought I saw somewhere that had a the SPE proflash for like $300 or so. I would advise against a hypertech, mine is going on ebay. It was worthless issed:

The programmer that Whipple sells is actually just an SPE Proflash. Talk to Sky at wickedspeed, he has a deal for $300 shipped. Web site: www.wickedspeed.com
