Hypertech Max Energy...The Best Handheld Performance Tuner On
The Market!
Max Energy Tuning extracts every bit of energy possible out of
every molecule of fuel giving you more miles at part-throttle and
more power at wide-open throttle. In order to increase engine
efficiency, horsepower and torque, our engineers first optimize the
spark and fuel curves point by point over the entire rpm band. With
the additional power and optimized transmission functions, drivers
use less fuel to accelerate and maintain cruising speeds without
the torque converter un-locking and transmission down-shifting to a
lower gear. The results are maximum power and fuel mileage.
Higher compression ratio engines and engines with superchargers
or turbo chargers were designed to use only premium octane, so only
one (1) 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 (2) optimized tuning programs
are provided: one for premium, and the other for regular. In most
cases, Hypertechs 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.
If youve installed tires that are larger or smaller than
original equipment tires, or if you have installed a ring and
pinion gear set with a different rear gear ratio, the Max Energy
allows you to re-program for correct speedometer and odometer
readings, as well as correct part-throttle shifting. The vehicles
computer calculates your vehicles speed based on the diameter of
the stock tires. If youve installed taller or shorter tires, or
changed the rear gear ratio, the vehicles computer doesnt know how
fast your vehicle is going. As a result, the automatic transmission
may not shift correctly and the speedometer readings will not be
accurate (as required by law).
Shift Firmness
Increase shift firmness to maximize performance or when towing,
to reduce clutch slippage and transmission oil temperatures. That
means longer transmission life. However, this feature must not be
used If you have installed an aftermarket shift kit.
Shift Points
The Max Energy allows you to raise or lower the shift points in
100 RPM increments for maximum performance, quicker acceleration,
and better 1/4-mile times. With the Max Energy Power Programmer,
you have the ability to customize the shift points for every gear.
Optimizing each shift point can definitely improve performance.
The Active Fuel Management (AFM) is GM's system for disabling
multiple cylinders while driving at light loads. Although this
system is very advanced, there is some minor sacrifice in the
driveability when the AFM is active, or during the transition to
4-cylinder and 8-cylinder modes.
Because of this, you may desire the ability to disable the AFM
system altogether. Hypertech has included the ability to disable
this system as an option in the Max Energy Power Programmer. Rather
than simply disabling the AFM system though, Hypertech developed
optimized engine tuning in both V4 and V8 modes to improve the
driveability of the vehicle. The improvements in power and
efficiency can be felt during normal driving and when the pedal
goes a bit further to tap into that incredible 8-cylinder power.
These improvements could be just what you are looking for as an
alternative.
In todays vehicles, the onboard computer controls maximum engine
rpm. The stock computer is programmed to shut down the engine when
it reaches its redline. But if you have modified your vehicle to
increase its high-speed performance, more rpm means more power.
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
engines rpm range with the Max Energy Power Programmer, 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.
The Max Energy allows you to adjust the on/off temperatures of
your vehicles electric cooling fans to match a lower temperature
thermostat, such as a Hypertech PowerStat. A low-temperature
thermostat produces a cooler, denser intake charge, is less likely
to detonate under heavy loads and allows the engine to make more
power.
If you get a check engine light or service needed message, the
Max Energy will allow you to read the code and gives you the
ability to clear the code and turn the check engine light off.
You can then make the necessary repairs to prevent the light from
coming back on.
The Max Energy Power Programmer comes with a USB cable and a CD
containing software to enable quick updates over the internet. If
your vehicle has a new calibration not available when your Max
Energy Power Programmer was manufactured, it is possible that you
will see a Cal not found message on the Max Energy screen. If
this occurs, you can simply update your Max Energy with the correct
new calibration via the internet. Simply connect the Max Energy
(using the provided USB cord) to your computer and go to www.hypertech.com. Then click on the
Support button to get update downloads. You can also get the update
downloads using the CD which also contains an installation video
and a printable version of the instruction manual
