Just received my hypertech and tried to install but received the dreaded "you must upgrade" error, so I tried to upgrade and received the "your version not supported" error. So, now, I wait patiently...for someone from hypertech to let me know there is an update available. On the bright side, it makes a nice paperweight.

Mine took 3 days to get a calibration update, then lag weekend I had the dealer do the "engine tick" ecu reprogram fix and now I need ANOTHER calibration for that. A
oh well, it's more than worth it!

One thing making me hesitate... there haven't been any "official" updates to this thing on their website in close to a year...
Software Downloads - Hypertech
If they have newer "firmware" available, I don't see why they can't put it up in the support section...

Just got mine in the mail. Did not have to wait for Hypertech to calibrate for 2 days. Basically it had me plug in to the computer and update to recent software and that's it. (fyi, I have an 08 G37S)
Throttle lag is now gone so acceleration is now smoother and more how it should have come from the factory.
In regards to power performance increase. I feels a little more powerful. Not a crazy difference but you know there's an additional umph in there.
One side note. When I purchased this unit I was under the impression that you can increase the rev limiter + or - 500rpm. I noticed that It only allows -500 rpm adjustment, so you can only reduce and not increase. I just went over the website and noticed that it only allows for -500 rpm decrease.
Question.. Can this be run in conjunction with the Blitz TC?

I wouldn't want to mess with the rev limiter on the VVEL. It's too new and most likely unsafe.
As for compatibility with the Blitz TC... not sure... I don't see why not though? But don't come after me if you blow something up! lol
Do you already have a Blitz TC?

just got back. ill try and post the graphs but the dyno was acting funny.
Baseline was 220hp and 197lbs/tq to the wheels...keep in mind Auto Tranny and AWD
After hypertech: 227hp and 202lbs/tq to the wheels
+7hp +5 lbs torque
Baseline:
86(hp loss to the wheels) divided by 306 = 28% in drivetrain loss.
71(tq loss to the wheels) divided by 268 = 26.5% in drivetrain loss
thats about right for an AWD Automatic, correct?
