Sniper Tuning Package is Awesome
Hi All,
Last week I purchased a Sniper Tuning - Special Forces package for a friend. I already had a Hypertech programmer but am starting to look into mods that I would need the advanced features. Well, I deprogramed my 01 GT from the Hypertech, saved the stocker to the Sniper, did a standard wizard walk through tune on my PC with the software and loaded it up to the Stanger. Let me frickin tell you something, Hypertech sucks!!! My car was completely different and the feeling was so dramatic that it made my whole week. no knocks, no pings and at 120 it just screams for more. The addage of you get what you pay for always rings true, but this is a safe bet on where to put your money if you are looking for a tune.

I really wish i had gone with Sniper insted of diablosport. It seems like you can literally do anything with the sniper tuning software. OH well everything is 20/20 in hindsight.

I had a Diablo Chip briefly but could never get it to run right (CA has crumby gas). I had a Hypertech on my 98 before this 01, and hate to think I wasn't at the cars true potential all that time, any who here's a link for any intrest.

I agree, I purchased a Sniper last week after getting screwed by SCT and it is amazing how much better their product is.Plus you can tune 2 cars for the price of one.

I have yet to purchase the Sinper (lack of funds). I do intend to get one though. The only thing so far that I am not excited about is the fact that the Sniper doesn't have a 2 stage rev limiter. That would put it over the top for me. All well, what can you do.

Can someone explain to me about this whole sniper tuner? I am gonna get new gear soon and I've been leaning towards that set from AM for the SCT/gears/oil. I know the SCT has a screen and all you do is follow the onboard instructions, but how about the sniper?
Thanks,

Another sniper lover here.
It's very easy to use, interfaces with your computer (so I can use my nice, big, 1680x1050 screen instead of some duo-tone 3" pixely screen to edit my stuff), comes with free data-logging software, and allows you to store multiple tunes on the box dealy that you get with it.
It allows for timing adjustments, A/F adjustments, gear ratio changes, superchargers, fuel octane, and basically anything you'd ever want to do ever.
AND they release firmware and software updates too, so if something changes or new functionality is added, you get it.
User cliffyk walked me through my Sniper purchase and initial tune, and it was amazingly helpful. PM or e-mail him if you have ANY questions. He's the man when it comes to Sniper.
