Hypertech does remove WOT, but does not allow the 2 degree advance. (They call it 0-60 Throttle Restriction.) No 2 degree advance was why I sold my Hypertech and bought a BDGT. I can say that I had better gas mileage with the Hypertech, but a better launch with the BDGT. If you go with the BDGT, you'll have a nice display to view all your vitals, but of course then you have to find a place to stick it. Really, you can't go wrong with either. The Hypertech is a lot cheaper. The Hypertech staff does an exceptional job of answering questions. I bought my Hypertech from someone on a forum in April 2010 after buying my truck. They didn't have a tune out for the 2010 at that time. I emailed them and asked for it and had it within 1 week. Two months later I asked them to add the 2 degree advance, and they refused, so I sold it. They said that they didn't want to be responsible for ruining an engine by advancing the timing and they didn't recommend that anyone run that mod. I'd still have my Hypertech, if they had given me the 2 degree advance. I wanted the ability to add it and remove it at will, otherwise I could have gotten it done somewhere else.I think the main criticism of the Hypertech when it came out was that it didn't allow removal of the WOT restriction. I dunno if that has changed or not. If you intend to get headers or cams, get Uprev.
Here's a picture of my BDGT with the Blendmount. I like the Blendmount, but some say it is distracting.
