Installation is easy, it just takes some time to adjust them.
A hypertech is anything but a tune, most people loose power with the tune. I got mine from brian at pcmforless.com. My vote goes for a mail order tune from pcmforless.com or Ion, both seem pretty equal.

Well he could get a tune because the only reason he is gonna have money is if he sells his hypertech. When he sells it he has to remove the program from his car or else the person he sells it too won't be able to program their car. I think a mail order tune would be a lot better then the hypertech. But i think the next best thing you could do with $200 is get some RR's or some SFC's like Red96 said.

Well i went out today, and got spanked by a modded Cobra. My buddy just added Nitrous to his GTP and we went out later. We came up next to a LS1, that was moderetly modded. Exhaust the corisca or something that is good, slp headers, 4.10 gear, this and that. I mean this car is mid to low 12s and is faaaasst. Anyways, my friends v6 kept up, lost by about a fender. Their doors were lined up, so i am thinking,..... nitrous maybe?

With LT1's you gotta make sure you up the fuel pressure when you press the Go button because if you don't you risk blowing some **** up.

Aside from that, I would probably save it and get another 150 for some shorty headers, that'll make a noticable differance and give you better gas mileage as well.

If not, then go with a mail order tune. Mine comes in on satursday and i can't wait

$200 bucks will for sure not be enough to cover the price of a n2o kit,a throttle body would just be a waste to seeing how your car isnt too modded and theyare priced well over 200 also(bbk one goesfor 3??). I would say save the money till you have enough for a pair of good headers.
