i have an '00 ss with the 3800 v6 im looking into programmers and wondering which is better(the pros and cons) of the DHP software or the HPtuners VCM suite

 

well the software you obviously have to have a lap top and the programmer is just plug and play, thats the biggest difference cost wise, but if you already have a lap top then i would imagine that the software one would be more bennificial for you with more things to play around with

 

I haven't had much experiance with HP Tuners yet, but I haven't heard anything negative about them. I have personally had 3 bad experiances with DHP and no resolution... much less a decent answer. This seems to be the common theme. They don't seem to answer anyones email. Through their forums are good.

I also like the HP Tuners price structure and the fact I can use it on more than 1 or 2 vehicles. With the HP Tuners you get get about 4 seperate vehicles on it for $500 instead of just 2 with the DHP and you are done... no upgrades, buy yourself a new one.

The HP Tuners you can hook up tons of vehicles on and that is my plan. Not this check, but next one I'm ordering mine and unlocking all 2004 Monte's with a 3800. Not sure what I'll do with the other ones.

 

only problem is you cant use the HP one they are only able to work on 01 and up other wise i would already have one

 

thanks for the info where is the best place to get pulleys online.....2000_BLACK_SS have you done any programming to your car and if so what did you use

 

you'd figure those tuners would work on the 2000 seeing as though its the same car, i wonder if they just left 2000 out of the description by accident, have you actually tried one??

 

As for pulleys i have no idea becasue i dont have a SC but i think 3800performance.com wbodystore.com zzperformance.com would have some
Right know i have not done any programming to my car becasue i am saving for the supercharger kit off of the wbodystore.com site

WIZ KID
i emailed them a while back and they said it has something to do with the vin number and the letter that is at the start cant really remember it was about 3 months ago

also if you just go to http://www.hypertech-inc.com/gmfeaturechart.html site on there it even says for 2001 and up

 

They should support the 2000 and I beleive they have for awhile now.

supported vehicles right from their site:



97-05
Chevrolet Monte Carlo 3.1, 3.4, 3.8

I missed your email post. I would check with them again. I noticed they just released a whole new supported vehicle list earlier this month.

 

I will just go eat my foot i was thinking the hypertech ones i dont know why though my bad
