E-mailed Hypertech today and they have no plans on making a programmer for the H-3.
Bummer!
As underpowered as these things are you would think that there would be some performance parts availible.

Funny, I don't think the H3 with 4.56 gears is really underpowered. I've driven a new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and the H3 gets it better then the Unlimited.
That isn't to say a little more omph wouldn't be nice, but its not a V8...or a vette. They are geared towards offroad, and there its has PLENTY of power.
The Vortec 3500 is a common motor across the GM truck lines, hopefully we'll see some real power parts or a well engineered turbo or supercharger kit.

I really thought Hypertech would come through also. That's too bad.

I agree, enjoy the H3 for what it is. Why mess around with the engine just to get reduced reliability and gas mileage? If you gotta spend money, go for a winch, sway bar disconnects, tires, and then lockers!
After that, just add to the fleet and enjoy the best of both worlds. Put "some aside" and pick up a nice new Solstice GXP, BMW M Roadster, CTS V, M3, any sport bike, or whatever else fulfills your asphalt needs!

If you really want big power out of the V3500, you'll have to look at something like the SuperCharger kit that MagnaCharger is working on:
www.magnacharger.com
It also looks like UniChip is working on a solution for the V3500, but I don't know if its Colorado/Canyon specific or if it will work for the H3 also.

It'd sure be fun to have ~300'ish HP on the H3, but at what cost to your wallet and to your warranty.
