RE: which is better

i have a hypertech. it's done everything i've wanted it to and it was super easy to put on. nothing at all against diablo havent heard anything but good things about them. but from experience hypertech is also worth the money.

RE: which is better

and is there a difference between the handheld and a burned chip for the puter other than not having to go to my mech to do a change?

That's my question also. Do you need a special chip for a "dyno tune" or is it done with a hand held?

RE: which is better

pinging is caused by ignition of the gas/air mix in your cylinder before the spark of the spark plug. This causes temperature and pressure peaks that will melt your piston, crack your cylinder head, and drop one of your exhaust valves.
