Hypertech
Power Tuning
Power Tuning Made Simple
Power Tuning is defined as experimentally adjusting both fuel
flow and ignition timing relative to the airflow of an engine,
over the entire RPM range and at full throttle, in order to deliver
the most possible horsepower. Hypertech's Engineers use computerized
chassis dynos to develop optimized point-by-point, precise spark
and air/fuel ratio curves for your vehicle's engine and powertrain
producing more horsepower and torque without sacrificing reliability.
Hypertech engineers take a responsible approach to performance by matching
increases in engine power to the drivetrain's capabilities. In
the old days, tuning meant you had to change carburetor jets
and adjust distributor curves. It was tedious, dirty, and the
results weren't always what you expected. With the Hypertech
Power Programmer, you get predictable results without getting
greasy!
The Most Versitle Performance Product
You Can Own
The Hypertech Power Programmer is a self-contained automotive computer that
automatically installs the powerful Hypertech Power Tuning program,
maximizing performance and bringing out the best in popular 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. And with select vehicles (use links to
the feature charts below), the Power Programmer has "Dual Fuel" Power
Tuning for both regular and premium octane gasoline. Hypertech's
spark and fuel calibrations for regular gas dramatically improves
performance for everyday driving. When you want maximum power,
you can install premium octane Power Tuning the Hypertech Power Programmer
contains both programs when applicable. The cost savings with regular
vs. premium gas is substantial. The great news for vehicle owners
is that in engines with relatively low compression, the optimized
Power Tuning for regular gas is almost as good as premium. So you
can have it both ways the best possible performance on regular
or premium gas.

Hypertech Three-Stage
Power Tuning
Why the two added tuning options?
When operated under heavy loads and for long periods of time,
diesels can build up excessive heat in their engines and transmissions.
When that occurs, the check-engine light may come on, or flash
off and on, as a warning to either back off on the power level
or lighten the load. While you can't always lighten the load,
Hypertech's three-stage tuning lets you select the maximum
power tuning level that can be safely used under high load
conditions.
Why should you use the transmission
shift firmness option?
This should be used when non-stock tuning is in the vehicle.
At high boost levels and higher torque, the transmission needs
to have firmer shifts. This helps keep automatic transmission
clutch plates from slipping, especially important when towing
heavy loads.
With the new Hypertech Power Programmer and the 3 Stages of Power Tuning,
you'll have more control over driving and towing conditions than
ever before!

Hypertech Dual
Fuel Tuning
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 $650 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.

Hypertech Engine
Rev Limiter
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 Hypertech 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!

Hypertech - Adjust
Cooling Fan On/Off Temperatures
With the Hypertech 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.

Hypertech - Transmission
Shift Points / Firmness
Improve Your Transmission
At The Push Of A Button
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 Hypertech 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 Hypertech 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 herein’t always what you expected.
Now you can do all this electronically with the Hypertech Power Programmer
III, quickly and without getting dirty, with precise and predictable
results. Just plug the Hypertech Power Programmer III into your vehicle’s
underdash diagnostic port, answer a few simple “yes/no” questions,
and the Hypertech 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!

Hypertech Top
Speed Limiter
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 Hypertech 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.

Hypertech Speedometer/Odometer
Correction
Recalibrate Your Speedometer,
Odometer, And Part-Throttle Shifting On The Fly.
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
Hypertech Power Programmer III into your vehicles’s underdash diagnostic
port, answer a few simple “yes/no” questions, and
the Hypertech 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.
