I have read mixed reviews on adding a tranny cooler so I could use a bit of help... Also, what other mods would i need to do to possibly be able to go to an even smaller pulley? Thanks for the help guys.

when you say scan, i am assuming you are talking about using an autotap or some other diagnostic tool? Also, I am not too familiar with KR so what kind of numbers will i be looking for? What is good and bad?
Also, jmp417:
I also found that an extra wire has to be installed to the harness on pin 21 and grounded for the performance shift. Did you just run the wire straight to ground or did you put it on a switch so it would shift like factory when you wanted it to? Any help would be great as I am just getting into this and I am messing with a brand new tranny (mine blew up last week...

Sorry Deathrat. :(
Let'* just hope they get Zoomer will work with DHP to get it right and it works its intended magic.

I know you want it now & I can't do that for you. Catch you next time maybe.

3) The PP3 only changes the wide-open throttle program! It changes NO part-throttle settings at all.
Just letting you know. I might wait to see if Superchips comes out with a hand-held...

The response I got from Hypertech'* OWN Technical Support is as follows:
Alan
We have not been given any technical details on this part number and not sure when at this time it will be released. Check with us later for updates. Thanks and we appreciate your patience.

Good morning. I'm interested in knowing more about the Hypertech power Programmer Stage III P/N: 30014. I've got a few customers awaiting the actual release of this item. What I'm getting asked is what are the actual parameters for this unit in regards to: WOT; Temperature that the fan comes on; How much firmer are the Trans shifts; What is different between the Shift points; What is the top speed rated at; What is the rev limiter set at.
I offer your actual product here on my Store: http://www.bonnevilleattitude.com/st...roducts_id=712
Any answers you can provide would be deeply appreciated, as it would increase this product'* performance abilities & therefore create more sales for both you & me. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, Alan Ralston

I believe this is correct. The Performance mode button just makes the car shift normally. With the performance turned off then the car shifts at lower rpm for fuel econ. The 00+ models are always in "normal" mode hence the no performance button.
