Topic: Power As Easy As 1, 2, 3

[bluedevil]

 

   Performance is a topic that's constantly on the mind of virtually every truck and SUV owner. Some of us want more pulling power for towing and hauling while others are looking for more power for hill climbing and faster acceleration. But, regardless of why you want more power; you no longer need to be a certified mechanic to juice up your vehicle's horsepower. In fact, with the Hypertech Power Programmer III you never even have to open the hood...
In a matter of minutes you can custom tune your vehicle's computer for optimized performance. Basically, what this means is that the programmer re-teaches your engine how to use air, fuel and spark more efficiently. And, best of all, you don't need any automotive or computer knowledge to do so. Simply plug the tuner into your vehicle's under-dash diagnostic port, answer the programmer's series of yes/no questions and the computer does the rest. The first time you connect the programmer to your vehicle's under-dash diagnostic port, the tuner instantly recognizes your vehicle's powertrain by reading the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Your vehicle's VIN contains specific information that the Power Programmer decodes and stores before it downloads your custom-tailored tuning program. That way, you can easily put your vehicle back to stock.

How's It Work?
We know what you're thinking, "this sounds great, but how does it really work?" The answer is quite simple. Your engine's power output is directly proportional to the amount of air and fuel that it can burn. Your factory-tuned computer is modestly set for the "average" driver, who may not care much about vehicle performance. Hypertech's Power Programer, on the other hand, is designed to maximize engine performance by burning the air/fuel mixture as efficiently as possible. It does so by careful advancing the spark timing and fuel delivery to create more powerful combustion - thereby delivering maximum power.

Gains of up to 117 HP and 176 ft/lbs of torque are typical for most diesel-powered vehicles; and it's possible to gain up to 45 HP and 57 ft/lbs of torque for some gas-powered vehicles. Hypertech is also the only programmer on the market that offers true Dual Fuel technology for gas powered vehicles. That means you get virtually the same power gains whether you want to use regular 87 octane or premium 93 octane gas.

For many diesel powered vehicles, the Hypertech Power Programmer also features three-stage power tuning. This option allows you to select from three power setting for unloaded, medium or heavy loads. Under heavy load, diesels can build up excessive heat in the engine and transmission. With three-stage tuning, you can back off the power tuning to a safe level when hauling extra heavy loads to keep the engine running cool.

Power Programmers are also ideal to help boost the performance gains of other aftermarket performance accessories. For example, if you've added a high-performance air intake, the Programmer can provide even greater power gains because it allows your engine to use larger volumes of air more effectively. The same goes for vehicles with high-flow exhaust systems. When your engine combustion is advanced, a larger volume of exhaust gases need to be released and a high-flow exhaust system provides the non-restrictive exit needed for maximum power gains.

Other Features
In addition to the power tuning mode, the Hypertech Power Programmer III also has a number of other great features that can be of great use to the performance enthusiast. For example, the programmer extends the engine's RPM range for a wider power band and optimizes transmission shift points for firmer full-throttle gear changes resulting in faster acceleration. It also allows you to raise your vehicle's top-speed limiter to match the rating of factory-approved, high-performance tires.

Speaking of tires, did you know that adding big wheels and/or oversized tires can throw off your speedometer by up to 20 MPH? That's why Hypertech includes a special tuning mode that corrects your speedometer and odometer readings for non-stock tire sizes and/or non-stock rear end gear ratios. It's also important to note that accurate odometer readings are required by law.

Finally, the Power Programmer also has the ability to read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). This can be very helpful when troubleshooting and examining problems with your vehicle.

As you can see, this powerful hand-held tuner does a lot more than increase power. It optimizes your vehicle's performance and helps adapt your vehicle to a number of different driving conditions and styles. So, hit the trail, hit the track or head out on the highway and explore the capabilities of your newfound power.
