Just bought myself HT unit few days ago and so waiting for it to come in the mail for my Stock 09' G37; was it worth it fo those who previously also had HT's. Thanks

Yes, definitely worth it IMHO. Throttle response and mid range is noticeable, I put the car back to stock after driving it with the Hypertech just to see and man the original car's throttle response is pretty bad.

I think the only thing that matters in terms of ecu support isn't the model of the car - when you plug in the unit it will download the map info from the ecu and see if it can be flashed. If it can't, you will have to upload the map config to Hypertech and call them to see how long it will take them to release an updated tune. This happened to me and they kicked out a tune that supports my ecu in 1 week, couldn't be happier.

Never know you might get lucky and your ecu is already supported since a lot of the 09 guys have tunes.

In one of the other (many) HT threads... someone had a vert... when you get the HT, just plug it into your computer, download the update application, and update it. You should be good....

P.S. Yes, this thing is totally worth it!

I actually used the speed limiter for when I valet'd the car a few weeks ago... sent it to 25MPH... Not one word from the guy. lol

I got mine in today and did an update online then did the programming.
What a difference. I can get the power I need for those mountain runs and when "overtaking". I now have a much bigger grin on my face while driving

That was fast, glad everything worked out for you! I'd say we have another HT convert.

Has anyone actually compared 0-60 times before and after installing or are these strictly butt dyno comparisons?

I know there's a guy that claimed a 0.2 increase from an iphone app dynolicious. I'll get mine shipped on 01/15 via JEB, I'll run some number from Gtech and PCMSCAN.
