Tunercats is the software most often used.

Yup, I got the engine (I thought) right before everyone started having problems with him.

Everyone likes to dog the hpp lol, but i remember the day after I got my 373's in my old 97 A4....I put there programming on hit the gas and my friend(had a full bolt on 93) an I looked at each other w/ our mouths wide open. It was a huge sotp gain. Torque or whatever the car felt faster for sure, seems like I used a little more gas though after install. I never had a problem w/ mine either :)

Hypertech and other handhelds like that work great for gear/tire size changes and things like that. But if you want to actually tune the engine, get a real solution.....

Yea I originally got it for the gears, back then there wasnt as many tuners around as there is today. For a bolt on car I thought the tuning/160 therm setting was fine, shift points were kinda cool also.
