Gas Vehicles
Higher compression ratio engines and engines with superchargers or turbo
chargers were designed to use only premium octane, so only one Power
Tuning program for premium octane is provided. But, if your car or truck
came from the factory capable of using more economical regular octane,
then two optimized tuning programs are provided: one for premium,
and the other for regular. In most cases, Hypertech’s exclusive Power
Tuning for regular octane provides excellent power gains, almost as much
power as premium octane. If you are using premium octane, and you want
all out, maximum power, then select premium octane Power Tuning.
E-85/Flex Fuel Vehicles
We recommend premium octane tuning for vehicles using E-85 fuel. The
improved engine tuning will increase the part-throttle efficiency and
wide-open throttle performance compared to the factory tuning.
Diesel Vehicles
Three stages of Power Tuning are available. Even the highest power
level Stage 3, maintains safe EGTs while towing the maximum weight
specified by the vehicle manufacturer. No other tuner offers this level
of power for towing. Hypertech’s low EGTs, proper transmission shifting
and superior tuning that doesn’t require de-fueling, giving the Max
Energy Power Programmer the performance advantage. |

Raise Your Top Speed Limiter to Match the Speed Rating of
Your Tires!
When you feel the need for speed, Hypertech's advanced Power
Programmer III lets you electronically adjust your vehicle's
top speed limiter to match the speed rating of
factory-approved high-performance tires. The maximum speed
of many modern vehicles is governed by the onboard computer.
The stock computer is programmed to shut down the engine
when the vehicle exceeds the speed rating of the original
equipment tires. But if you have installed tires with a
higher speed rating for off-highway competition in
sanctioned events, your vehicle may be able to achieve a
faster top speed. A tire's maximum safe speed under perfect
conditions is marked on its sidewall. The codes for popular
high-performance tires are: T = 118 mph, U = 124 mph, H =
130 mph, V = 149 mph, Z = 149+ mph.
The Power Programmer III gives you the power to adjust the
computer's top speed limiter to match these speed ratings
(depending on application). Hypertech urges you to drive
responsibly and obey all posted speed limits when driving on
public highways.

Adjust Cooling Fan On/Off
Temperatures!
With the Power Programmer, you can
electronically adjust the "on/off"
temperatures of your vehicle's
electric cooling fans. When used
with a Hypertech PowerStat,
low-temperature thermostat, this
produces a cooler, denser intake
charge that allows the engine to
make more power. A cooler engine is
also less likely to detonate under
heavy loads. That means better
performance for you and longer life
for your engine.

Economy When You Want It And Power When You Need
It!
Hypertech Dual Fuel Feature Delivers Premium
Performance on Regular Gas!
Hypertech is easing the pain of rising prices at
the gas pump. Hypertech has developed exclusive
"Dual Fuel" tuning calibrations that deliver
virtually the same power increases with regular
gas as they do with premium. Hypertech's Power
Programmer is the only device that offers this
powerful Dual Fuel feature.
"The truth is that most trucks make exactly the
same power on tuning optimized for regular as
they do with optimized premium," explained Mark
Heffington, the founder and president of
Hypertech. "For these vehicles, there is never a
reason to use more expensive premium unleaded."
While some competitors claim to have tuning for
regular gas, their calibrations for regular gas
typically make no more power than the stock
tuning. In contrast, Hypertech's optimized power
tuning for regular gas produces virtually the
same power gains as the premium gasoline tuning.
For example, Hypertech Power Tuning for a 2003
Hummer H2 with a 6.0-liter V-8 engine adds 17
horsepower over stock with regular gas and 22
horsepower with premium.
Owners of trucks and SUVs are concerned with the
cost of operating their vehicles. That's why
Hypertech engineers use computer-controlled
chassis dynamometers to develop fuel curves and
ignition timing calibrations to maximize
performance and fuel economy with regular fuel.
"Hypertech Power Tuning for regular grade fuel
is substantially more powerful than stock tuning
with either regular or premium fuel," Heffington
noted. "Simply stated, this means increased
power for less money. It's a win-win situation
because truck and SUV drivers get more power for
towing and save an average of 25 cents per
gallon at the pump."
Those savings can add up. If a truck owner buys
50 gallons of gas a week for a year and saves 25
cents per gallon with regular unleaded, the
annual savings is 0 dollars. At that rate, the
Power Programmer quickly pays for itself.
Hypertech builds, tests, certifies and sells
on-highway power-enhancing products that are
safe, legal and optimized for the best possible
performance. Unlike reprogramming devices that
are sold for "off-highway" use only, Hypertech's
Power Programmer is street legal in all 50
states, with certification received or pending
from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
This assures owners of Hypertech products that
they will meet certification requirements when
undergoing emissions tests administered by state
or local agencies.

Improve Your Transmission At The Push Of A Button With
Hypertech's Self-Contained Automotive Computer!
You already know that the Hypertech Power Programmer III
maximizes your vehicle's performance with dyno-developed and
road-tested Power Tuning programs. But did you know that the
same technology lets you adjust your electronically
controlled automatic transmission at the push of a button?
With the Power Programmer III, you can electronically
increase automatic transmission line pressure for firmer
shifts while reducing clutch slippage and transmission oil
temperatures. That means longer transmission life!
You can also adjust automatic transmission shift points for
maximum performance for quicker acceleration and better 1/4
mile times, as well as adjust the part-throttle shifting to
work properly with non-stock tire sizes and/or non-stock
rearend gear ratios.
Here's how it works.
The vehicle computer calculates your vehicle's speed based
on the stock tire size and rearend gear ratio. If you've
installed taller or shorter tires, or changed the rearend
gear ratio, the vehicle computer doesn't know how fast your
vehicle is really going. It may signal the transmission to
upshift too soon, or to hold a gear too long. With the Power
Programmer III, you have the power to customize the shift
points in every gear.
In the past, modifying an automatic transmission was
time-consuming, messy, and the results weren't always what
you expected. Now you can do all this electronically with
the Power Programmer III, quickly and without getting dirty,
with precise and predictable results. Just plug the Power
Programmer III into your vehicle's underdash diagnostic
port, answer a few simple "yes/no" questions, and the Power
Programmer III does the rest. And best of all, you can
change your options or restore the stock tuning whenever you
want. Improve your vehicle's automatic transmission
performance plus a whole lot more, at the push of a button,
with the Hypertech Power Programmer III. It's like a
complete speed shop that you can hold in your hand!
|
Recalibrate Your Speedometer, Odometer, and Part-Throttle
Shifting at the Push of a Button with Hypertech!
If you've installed non-stock tire sizes for more grip on
the road, taller tires for more traction on the strip, or a
different rear gear ratio, you must reprogram your vehicle
computer for correct speedometer and odometer readings, as
well as correct part-throttle shifting. That's because the
electronic "brains" in late-model vehicles are programmed to
work properly only with the factory-installed tire size and
rear gear ratio. The Hypertech Power Programmer III lets you
reprogram your vehicles's computer for non-stock tire sizes
and/or rear gear ratios at the push of a button!
Here's How It Works!
The vehicle computer calculates your vehicle's speed based
on the diameter of the stock tires. If you've installed
taller or shorter tires, or changed the rear axle ratio, the
vehicle computer doesn't know how fast your vehicle is
really going. As a result, the automatic transmission may
not shift correctly and the speedometer/odometer readings
will not be accurate (as required by law). The Hypertech
Power Programmer III lets you select different tire sizes
and rear gear ratios, then stores that information in your
vehicle computer. And that's just the beginning!
Modifying your vehicle has never been easier. Just plug the
Power Programmer III into your vehicles's underdash
diagnostic port, answer a few simple "yes/no" questions, and
the Power Programmer III does the rest. You'll get
Hypertech's exclusive Power Tuning that maximizes your
vehicles's performance and brings out the best in popular
performance modifications like low-restriction air cleaners
and/or cat-back exhaust systems. And best of all, you can
change your options or restore the stock tuning whenever you
want.

The Key To Faster Acceleration Is To Get More Horsepower
From Your Engine! Get More RPM With Hypertech!
The key to faster acceleration from your vehicle is to use
more of your engine's horsepower. Hypertech's advanced Power
Programmer III lets you electronically adjust your engine's
rpm limiter to improve performance and driving fun!
The onboard computer controls the maximum engine rpm in
today's vehicles. The stock computer is programmed to shut
down the engine when it reaches the redline. But if you have
modified your vehicle to increase its high-speed
performance, more rpm means more power. That's why you need
the Power Programmer III to reprogram the vehicle computer.
When you shift gears with the stock rpm limit, the engine
falls back to below the peak of its horsepower curve. When
you extend the engine's rpm range with the Power Programmer
III, your engine has more power available after gear
changes. By adjusting the maximum rpm to keep the engine in
the "sweet spot" of its power curve, you can increase the
average horsepower that accelerates the vehicle.
Adjusting the engine rpm limiter is just one of the
functions of the Hypertech Power Programmer III. You can
change your options or restore the stock programming
whenever you want. At the push of a button you can take your
vehicle's performance to the limit with the Hypertech Power
Programmer III!

Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003 Server,
Windows XP, Windows Vista 32-bit and Windows
Vista 64-bit.
Disk Space - 13 MB (Tuner Update Application,
280 MB (.Net Framework 2.0, if not installed)
|
Important Note:
During programming, there must be no additional load and
changes in current draw on the battery. So disconnect any
accessories (such as cell phone, iPod, radar detector, or
any other device) plugged into the cigarette lighter or
other 12 volt outlets before starting the installation
process. All electrical accessories such as the radio,
windows, a/c, heater, wipers, lights, etc. must be turned
"off". Keep all doors closed so that interior lights will be
"off" and no alarms will be sounding. If your vehicle is
equipped with OnStar, satellite radio, remote starter, or
aftermarket speakers/amplifiers, you must locate and remove
the fuses to disable those devices before programming. |

How Do We Tune?
Power Tuning is a procedure that Hypertech
invented and developed to improve the
performance and efficiency of
computer-controlled vehicles. An internal
combustion engine needs air, fuel, and spark the
familiar "Combustion Triangle" illustrated here.
Hypertech Power Tuning optimizes these three
elements to produce maximum performance. An
engine's power output is directly proportional
to the amount of air and fuel that it can burn.
Hypertech Power Tuning maximizes engine
performance by burning the air/fuel mixture as
efficiently as possible, thereby extracting
maximum power. Power Tuning replaces the stock
calibrations in the onboard computers used in
late-model cars and trucks. These complex
programs control important engine functions such
as spark timing and fuel delivery. The only way
to modify fuel delivery and spark timing to
increase power is to optimize the tuning
information supplied to the computer. This is
exactly what Hypertech Power Tuning does.
It is a slow, demanding, expensive process, but
it is the only way to optimize engine tuning.
Only Hypertech has the personnel, the custom
equipment, and the dedication to do it...for all
tuning products.
The Art and Science of Power Tuning
The team of engineers and technicians at our R&D
center in Memphis uses two computerized chassis
dynamometers to develop the most powerful tuning
programs possible. First they experimentally
adjust the spark timing to obtain the highest
torque and power readings at a given engine rpm.
Then they adjust the air/fuel ratio to obtain
the highest possible power and torque readings
that an optimized air/fuel mixture can produce.
After the spark timing and air/fuel ratio for
that particular engine speed have been
optimized, the rpm is increased to the next
point and the entire procedure is repeated
again. The process continues, point by point, up
to the engine's maximum speed. This technique is
called experimental, point-by-point curve
fitting. There is no more effective way to power
tune an engine.
Hypertech Power Tuning calibrations are
extensively road tested under "real world"
driving conditions to verify their performance.
The result: Power gains you can feel and
dependability you can trust! The results can be
very impressive. For example, our Max Energy
Power Programmer for Dodge Cummins 5.9L HO
Diesels produced a gain of 285 ft./lbs. torque
and 174 horsepower without opening the hood!
How Power Tuning Works
The factories tune for average drivers who might
buy low-octane gasoline and lug the engine. Our
calibrations are engineered for drivers who care
about performance and use premium-grade fuel.
Gains of 10 to 20 horsepower with 3 to 7 tenths
of a second improvement in acceleration times
from 0 to 70 mph are typical - some improvements
are even greater. However, some applications can
enjoy tuning specifically for regular fuel. You
can check on these applications by clicking on
Dodge, Ford, or GM to view our feature
comparison charts.
Hypertech Power Tuning makes trucks and sport
utility vehicles come alive, too. These drivers
will have more power for climbing hills, hauling
heavy loads, and accelerating onto freeways.
Power Tuning is an exact science. Much of the
equipment we use was designed and built by
Hypertech engineers specifically for software
engineering and high-performance engine tuning.
We don't do "generic" tuning at Hypertech - we
power tune to optimize performance for specific
applications. Our advanced technology allows us
to store a huge amount of information in a
package that fits in the palm of your hand.
Hypertech's Max Energy Power Programmer contains
numerous Power Tuning programs. When you connect
the Max Energy Power Programmer to a vehicle,
its "smart" program instantly recognizes the
vehicle's powertrain by reading its Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN). The VIN contains
specific information on the engine,
transmission, and drivetrain, which the Power
Programmer decodes before it downloads the Power
Tuning program that is precisely tailored to
that particular powertrain.
Increasing horsepower and torque is as simple as
pushing a button with Hypertech's Max Energy
Power Programmer. You simply plug the Max Energy
Power Programmer into the underdash diagnostic
connector, answer a series of "Yes/No"
questions, and the Power Programmer does the
rest. Hypertech's Max Energy Power Programmer
also allows you to return to the original
factory-installed engine calibrations in just a
few minutes. Hypertech Power Tuning is
emission-legal in all 50 states and does not
void the vehicle's factory warranty. Hypertech
Power Tuning puts fun and excitement into
driving. It gives performance enthusiasts the
extra power they want for high-performance
driving, pulling, or towing.

"...the icing on the cake...I averaged over 18.1 mpg...!"
"I have to tell you about my
experience with your Power Programmer III on my 2004 F150
2wd Super Crew with a 5.4 3-valve. After reading the
instructions, I did the installation as the Programmer
instructed, and in about 15 minutes it was all done. And
wow! Even with the 87-octane setting the truck had better
low speed throttle response along with an improved top end
acceleration. But the biggest difference was in the way the
transmission shifted at wide open throttle. It bang shifted
through all the gears with no lag, and yet around town it
acted like a stocker. The icing on the cake was when I took
the truck on vacation for over 3600 miles and I averaged
over 18.1 mpg at an average speed of 74.4 mph. When the
truck was stock I took a 2400 mile trip and it only got 16.4
mpg at about the same average speed. That's over a mile and
a half per gallon better! What a great product! Easy to
install and you get the gains in performance as advertised.
A great bang for the buck!"
Jim Losee, an extremely satisfied customer!

"I'm impressed! I'm at a loss for words at the gains I got!"
"I just want to tell you how great I think your product is.
I have a 2003 Ford F250 4X4 4 Door 7.3 Liter Turbo Diesel. I
bought your Hypertech Power Programmer, part #41029 from my
friends parts store in Garden City, Michigan, and I put the
Stage 3 engine program in, also the firmer shifts. It is as
different as night and day. I really like that you just
touch the gas and you get results. Before, just to take off
normally, I had to mash the gas pedal down about half way to
get it moving. But now, just a touch of the gas and you're
gone. I am impressed. I was gonna buy Superchips but wanted
to give the Power Programmer a try. I am at a loss for words
from the gains I got. I put a spankin' on my buddies lighter
Hemi Dodge Truck that went 15.0s in the 1/4 mile. I just
want to relay my good experience.
I will tell everyone about your product. I am taking some
friends for a ride in it later to show them the before and
after. I put it back to stock to show a buddy just how much
it helped. My buddy thought I had put propane in the truck
it pulled so hard and just kept pulling and gaining speed.
In my opinion, you can't get any better for the money than
buying your product. I can't see anything else that compares
for the performance and money. I have a '99 GT Mustang that
I am going to purchase one of these for. I am sold on it
now. If it helped my diesel out, I can't even imagine what
it's gonna do for my Mustang GT. Well, thanks for the great
product!"

Lenco Racing Transmission Has Proof of Power!
"Our '99 Ford Power Stroke T/D tows our heavy 43 foot
service trailer more than 30,000 miles every year on the
NHRA/IHRA race circuit. We wanted more power and decided to
use a Hypertech Power Programmer because of its tuning and
features. It was a simple plug-in installation and the power
gain was unbelieveable! We got better fuel mileage too, but
the best feature for us was the improved driveability.
Pulling up long grades, gear shifts were firmer and faster.
I would recommend the Power Programmer to all Ford diesel
owners!"

"...4 more miles per gallon city driving! Safer than the
competitors. It's a No Brainer!"
"When I purchased my 2005 F250 turbodiesel, it was the first
diesel vehicle I had ever owned. I had always heard about
the tremendous torque and horsepower increases that could be
attained by adding a chip, but had also heard horror stories
of what could possibly happen.
After extensive reasearch and reading testimonials on other
performance chips, I decided to go with Hypertech. Not only
did it promise more horsepower and torque than many of the
competitors, but was much safer to use! It was a no brainer.
The chip, along with the exhaust and intake I've added had
turned my truck into a monster. It will flat out accelerate
most cars on the road, and gives me 4 extra mpg (city
driving) while doing so!!! I'm so happy with the Hypertech I
wish I could kiss the person who designed it! Thanks
Hypertech!
P.S. You guys owe me another set of tires...I've already
smoked most of the tread off the ones I have now!

"This Thing Rocks!"
"I recently purchased and installed your new Power Tuning
Module for my 2003 Ford 6.0 Power Stroke Diesel. I just want
to Thank You and your engineers and assemblers for creating
such a high quality product. This Thing Rocks! Incredible
horsepower and torque right off the line and throughout the
entire rpm range. I am very satisfied and would highly
recommend this product to any Ford 6.0 owners. And the added
bonus of being tow safe and 50-state legal makes this 2nd to
none. Good Job Hypertech!"
