Default HYPERTECH HELP....

I just got a Hypertech III for my 2006 5.3L Silverado. Does anyone know what the best settings for this is to get the maximum performance for my truck?? Any help would be great.
Thank you.

Its preety tough to give a general example on what to do. You have to play with it and figure out what works best for you. firm up the shifts and use their program. Becareful what you do with your rev. limits. dont go to crazy.

Thats a good start on the rev limits. I also use the hypertech and max out the shift firmness. beleive it or not, this will not hurt your tranny, in fact it will help longevity.I guess you could call hypertech, but they will probably tell you it is up to you to figure it out, but call. It can't hurt. Hoped this helped

I MAXED MINE TO 100%. BUT YOU SHOULD GO UP SLOWLY AND FIND WHAT YOU LIKE. DRIVE THE TRUCK AROUND A WHILE AND GO FROM THERE. THATS THE GREAT THING ABOUT THE PLUG-N-PLAY. ALSO, HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR REV. LIMITS? THE HYPERTECH IS GOOD DON'T GET ME WRONG, BUT YOU ARE NOT GONNA TURN YOUR TRUCK INTO A ROCKETSHIIP. IT IS A START THOUGH. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER MODS? GOOD LUCK AND KEEP ME POSTED. HOPE THIS HELPED
