I have had the Hypertech for a year now. It corrected for my tires and gears, but since I did everything at the same time, so too hard to tell what it did. I am still upset to see that Hypertech has made no move to change tire pressure sensors!

I'm also beta testing the Hypertech, I guess I'll chime in since I have the 6spd model. I'm also running 3.73 gears. (stock)
My jeep is stock height wise. It has a Volant CAI and now the Hypertech 87 octane tune.
Completely stock the 3.8 was gutless going up and down the small hills I take getting to work. I would have to either downshift to 5th, or get a running start to maintain speed at 60mph.
With the Volant I noticed a slight power increase, as well as a minor fuel mileage increase.
With the Volant and the Hypertech I'm quite happy. The jeep has more "punch" at 55-60mph than it did before. No longer needing to shift out of 6th to go up hills or to pass people on flat ground, in my opinion it has definitely made the 3.8 more throttle responsive.
However, I don't think it's actually added anymore horsepower. I can feel a slight torque increase, and I haven't gotten the jeep up over 4k RPM's yet, but I do feel as though the Jeep runs better.
My jeep has roughly 1500 miles on it.
