Most people will probably tell you that Jet and Hcrap are not worth the money. Some will tell you that they lost power with one or the other pkg. I am one that did lose power with Hcrap.

If you insist on buying something of that nature anyway, check out the for sale section. You can probably find something for around 150$

Good luck. 8-)

YMMV

Fact is, that Hcrap actually uses less agressinve fuel and timing setups based on what I've seen comparing files with LT1 Edit. Don't know for certain about Jet, since they piggy back their system on the stock PCM. From what I've heard from others using it, they are no better than Hcrap.

BTW, based on my observations, there is not much that can be gained with the LT1 by PCM tuning. The best guys are getting about 10 HP and then only with a dyno tune using a wb o2 sensor. Anything else seems to be guess work.

Bottom line is that the stock settings are VERY aggressive.
