:lsuck: Bad link but good news!
I figured it might do that, tried it before I posted & it wotked but I'll just put the main link in
HP tuners is a better option. I'm from the drag racing engine swap scene. It is not that hard to make the changes and allows access to much more. I just picked up the pro version but have tuned other cars in the past. I just lowered the torque management and am working on improving fuel economy now.
Looks like they'll be about $370
The increases of 16hp and 22TQ on regular grade gas are pretty significant and the adjustable shift points will be very beneficial for those that have larger tires.
Here's the features:
Adjustable Features
Looks like this part number is used by a bunch of GM vehicles, but the ones currently on ebay say they are not compatible with the H3.

Thanks for the heads up JGBB04. I have been waiting for someone to come out with one for the 3.5/3.7L I5's. I will have to pick one up in a couple of weeks.

So buying one so I can get some more power and the right tire size...I wonder how it will do compared to the PCM4less tune. I'm sure this one can't maximize off of the air doc and exhaust

I wonder what differences are for the 3.7...isn't it just a bore'd out 3.5? I thought you would be able to run em for both motors

I received mine this week (2008 3.7l Auto) but out of the box it only works with US built vehicles. I am currently working with Hypertech to see if we can add the VIN for RHD H3 (built in South Africa) so I can get mine to initialize (Currently says this programmer is not for this vehicle because of the VIN difference).
Has anyone in the USA fitted theirs yet and able to comment ???

Here is a screenshot of the Hypertech connected to the PC and the screen which allows you to select which vehicle the programmer is for.
Once selected it goes online and downloads the latest core for the programmer & tune for your vehicle.

Great News.......... The Hypertech Engineers (& Jim on their helpdesk) have come through.
They sent me an email saying they created an update on their programmer to accept my VIN.
I updated the programmer via the Internet and behold the Hypertech connected to my H3.
It was really funny seeing it read my computer and the DIC going through all the warnings codes & controls.
The Hypertech helpdesk even said that it may not work on the first attempt but the programmer would collect the information needed while connected.
Again, they were spot on, the programmer pulled the information required and told me to reconnect to my PC where it uploaded its info back to Hypertech with my email address.
Site said that I should expect to receive an automated email response within 3 working days to tell me when I can reconnect for the update.
Anyhow I emailed Jim @ Hypertech helpdesk to let him know, his reply follows:

We got it which I copy below. The computer had two calibrations that we must add. You’ll receive an email soon. Thanks again.

Does this programmer just "tune" or does it/can it stay attached like a BullyDog?

It is just a programmer. It is designed to be removed after but can be reconnected to either retune or return to stock for service/warranty. It is also updateable from the Internet for both the core and the specific vehicle program. So it makes a lot more sense if you are going to change tyres, diffs, change transmission shift points etc. and still retain the ability to return it to stock before taking it to the dealer.
I run a Scanguage II for the monitoring.

Have you noticed a difference post install? I really like this option to allow for "many" custom tunes to my weekly taste, the initial price is hefty compared to PCM so it pays in the long run(additional shipping each flash.. no disrespect to PCM as I have not used them... YET 
) and also since my warranty dealership is not to "mod friendly" when it comes to claims. So the return so stock function really saves me the "you altered this so your warranty is VOID" BS. Is this the same unit you're talking about?

When I had my 06 I had Alvin at PCM for less tune me a PCM I bought outright and kept my OEM tuned one for swapping out. I figured since they had that tuning figured out why should I screw it up trying to learn and went on with my life and had more gas money.
