Default Hypertech Update

I've had the Max Energy programming on my Jeep for almost 5K miles.
I've been mostly happy with it, particularly with the corrected speedo.
Well for the second time I updated it via the internet last night and re-installed the programming.
The first time I updated it was right before I installed it and read here where at least one member had updated it recently and experienced better performance.

Well let me tell you, at least on the Premium setting this thing is way better.

WAY TO GO HYPERTECH!

Sounds good to me. I guess the 3.8 is livable, huh...

IMHO _ couldn't hurt right! You could also check on the version and see if its changed.

No they won't. It will make no difference at all if you reset it to stock. If you don't the problem would not be the dealership knowing you reprogrammed, it would be the slight chance that they flash an update and it isn't compatible with what the hypertech settings are, then you have a computer problem.

If you return it to stock and they flash the computer then re-install the programmer again everything will be fine though right?
