I wonder what the opinions of the Attorney General's office are on this type of Dave chappelle "gotcha-Bitch!" money snatch tactics?

I got my hands on a Cobalt SS/TC Bin file from yesterday. That thing is HUGE compared to other vehicles I have tuned. And my map scanner failed to find any patterns in the data.

Bummer. Was that the piece of software from the link you posted earlier?

You know what really irks me is when I read posts over in the dodge and ford sections and Chris, the owner of HPT is like " Oh yea were workin hard on your stuff" And they tell us- oh were to busy to touch your project- we already have your money.

I wish someone would give them a legal bloody nose for pulling **** like that.
I mean can you imagine if I sold you a turbo kit for full price and never sent the downpipe? told ya we were too busy and yet start releasing other products?
WTF? you' folks would be beating down my door!
And yet for over a year now HPT has gotten away with it by simply telling us to screw off.
How freakin awesome it must be to be them!

A plug and play LS3 swap is almost worth all the pain associated with just reporgramming the dang computer.

They've been doing that for the last year, completely avoiding the turbo kappas and working on something else. You'd figure someone over there would some compassion and decency and cut us some slack since they already baited us, but i guess the mighty dollar blinds them all.

Maybe they are being managed by John Hennessey.

Ahahahaha... I haven't heard of them stealing ECM's or body panels... yet.

I am interested in the possibility of legal recourse for you guys who have paid though. While I understand you all knew you were paying for an incomplete beta, you were also lead to believe that you would receive a feature complete set-up in a timely matter. A year plus is not timely.

While I would hate to threaten HPTuners because I know they do make good software (eventually), it may be necessary with our situation. You guys have paid money and are not getting a full product for it. They either need to refund you for the money you paid (and the credits of course) or finish what they said they would a year ago.

I read on a blog yesterday that it is now also being considered to replace the non-DI V6 in the Cadillac CTS.

Trucks make more $$$$ at least around here. The boys got money to pour down holes in the water!
