Increasing horsepower and torque is as simple as pushing a button with Hypertech Power Programmer III Tuner ! Simply plug the Power Programmer into the underdash diagnostic plug, answer a series of "Yes/No" questions, and the Power Programmer does the rest. The Power Programmer is much more than a tuning chip. It is a self-contained automotive tuning computer!

When you connect the Power Programmer to your vehicle, its "smart" program instantly recognizes your vehicle's powertrain by reading the 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 your car or truck.

The Power Programmer lets you choose Hypertech's Power Tuning program for regular 87 octane or premium 93 octane gasoline. Both options improve performance without detonation. After the tuning program is selected, the Programmer automatically installs the program and allows you to access and reprogram the vehicle's computer to function properly with aftermarket components such as non-stock tire sizes and rear-end gear ratios.

The Power Programmer is incredibly powerful, but it is also incredibly easy to use. Reprogramming does not require any tools or knowledge of cars or even computers. Plus, you can return to OEM (stock) programming in just minutes.

(depending on year, make and model)

Hypertech Power Programmer III - Power Tuning

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’s 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!

Hypertech Power Programmer III Tuner 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. For selected vehicles, Hypertech 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 — 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 Power Programmer III - Three-Stage Power Tuning

Hypertech now has two new part numbers for the Ford Power Stroke 7.3L diesel (part #41040 for 2001-2003 and part #41039 for 1999-2000). There are two additional new diesel releases: Part number #30021 is for the 2001-2004 GM 6.6L Duramax, and #50009 is for the 1998 1/2-2002 Dodge Cummins. To all of these, Hypertech has added three stages of power tuning, each designed to match a range of driving and towing needs. Of these, Stage Three is the strongest. For Ford Powerstroke 7.3L diesel, this Hypertech Power Programmer's stage provides an additional 100 horsepower and 164 ft.-lbs. of torque, with plus 90 horsepower and 150 ft.-lbs. of torque for GM Duramax!

Why does Hypertech Power Programmer III have 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 Power Programmer'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 which is available in the Hypertech Power Programmer?

Hypertech Power Programmer's transmission shift firmness should be used when non-stock tuning is programmed 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 Power Programmer III - Dual Fuel Tuning

Hypertech Power Programmer III Tuner 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 III 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 gas", explained Mark Heffington, the founder and president of Hypertech. "For these vehicles, there is never a reason to use more expensive premium unleaded gas."

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 gas.

"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 Hypertech 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 Power Programmer III - Engine Rev Limiter

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 Hypertech 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 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 Power Programmer III - Cooling Fan On/Off Temperatures

Hypertech Power Programmer III Tuner permits use of low-temperature thermostat for cooler, denser intake charge and lower engine operating temperature. A cooler engine is less likely to detonate under heavy loads. That means better performance for you and longer life for your engine.

Hypertech Power Programmer III - Transmission Shift Points/Firmness

You already know that the Hypertech Power Programmer III Tuner 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 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!

With Hypertech Power Programmer III, 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 rear end gear ratios.

Here’s how it works: The vehicle computer calculates your vehicle’s speed based on the stock tire size and rear end gear ratio. If you’ve installed taller or shorter tires, or changed the rear end 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 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 weren’t always what you expected. Now you can do all this electronically with 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 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 Power Programmer III - Top-Speed Limiter

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.

Hypertech Power Programmer III Tuner 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 Power Programmer III - Speedometer/Odometer Correction

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 end 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 end 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.

Hypertech Power Programmer III - Back To Stock

The onboard computer is the electronic “brain” that controls the engine, transmission, and many other systems in late-model vehicles. When you install Hypertech Power Tuning, it’s like giving your vehicle a brain transplant.

Hypertech Power Programmer III Tuner is a self-contained automotive computer that simply plugs into the diagnostic port of your vehicle. Just answer a few “yes/no” questions and the Hypertech Power Programmer III automatically installs our exclusive Power Tuning program, point-by-point optimized air/fuel ratio and ignition timing for maximum power throughout the engine’s rpm range. Plus many other features that improve driveability and performance depending on make, model and year.

And, you can easily restore the stock tuning because your original factory program is stored in the Hypertech Power Programmer III. When you take your vehicle in for service at a dealership, simply reinstall the stock tuning. You’ll get the benefits of any updates in the factory calibration — and you’ll be able to reinstall the Hypertech Power Tuning. Hypertech Power Programmer III has a fail-safe feature that recognizes a new service calibration. If you sell your vehicle or want to try Power Tuning in a friend’s vehicle, simply swap the calibrations. Hypertech Power Programmer III contains many different vehicle applications, but it can only be used on one vehicle at a time.
