Description

Forget every other tuning gadget, gizmo or device. Now that Hypertech has released its much-awaited Hypertech Max Energy Programmer, there's no reason to load any other programming into your power plant.

Sure, Hypertech has made great programming units before. But, with the Hypertech Max Energy Programmer, they did it even better. Stock diesel rigs gain up to 176hp; gas can gain up to 57hp. The expertly-mapped tuning for your vehicle offers all the ponies you need at any RPM, even when towing up to 10,000lbs. And, it keeps heat low without de-fueling that kills your momentum.

Beyond unruly power, the Hypertech Max Energy Programmer is packed with trick features. Most vehicles can correct your speedometer and odometer for tire swaps up to 54" in size. You can even check and clear engine trouble codes. And, it's packed with programming for premium or regular fuel to save you cash. Plus, there's a Lifetime Warranty, too. Discover the feel of your ride on Max Energy now.

Notes

  • See what the Max Energy can do for your ride! Select your vehicle above for a specific list of the adjustments available in your Max Energy. Rev limiter, tire size, transmission and fuel octane adjustment capabilities vary by model.
  • Flex Fuel Vehicles: fueling with E85 is not recommended in conjunction with your Hypertech unit. Burning E85 reduces efficiency and power compared to using gas, which nullifies the effect of Hypertech's programming.
  • Software Compatibility: the Max Energy Programmer uses Hypertech PC software to download updates and new tuning programs. This software is not yet compatible with Windows Vista.

"After figuring out that you have to download stuff off the internet in order to get it to work in my truck, it was a piece of cake to install. I've noticed an increase of power just in my everyday driving but havent had it out on the highway yet. Still toying with the settings to find the best one. Overall I am satisified with this product so far."

"I have a 2005 Ford F-250 Supercrew King Ranch 6.0L Diesel. I did install a K&N Airintake a while back and I was getting around 14mpg around home and 18 on the highway. With the Hypertech on setting 1 I have a average know of 17 around home and almost 21 to 22 on the highway. I figured I picked up around another 150 miles to a tank of Diesel. You can feel the added horse power when you get on the throttle. I haven't towed any thing with it yet to see what it dose with a load on the truck. The product was easy to install. I am going to run it another month on the First setting then going to move up to the second setting. The reason for purchase was strictly to help with mpg. I wish I had bought this years ago Best Regards RH Economy,PA"

"Before installing the hypertech programmer, my 07 1 ton 6.7 Diesel pulling a 40' gooseneck, was getting aprox 10mpg to 11mpg when loaded, after installing the programmer, I am getting 13mpg to 14mpg, and noticing a definite increase in acceleration, and the added ease of pulling the trailer, The #2 setting is what I have the programmer set on at all times. I am very satisfied with this product, and feel that it will more than pay for itself in fuel savings alone."

"I recently purchased a programmer for my 2005 F-250 Crewcab 4X4 after long consideration. My only mistake was not buying it years ago. I just returned from a 1,100 mile trip and saw an increase of about 3 mpg on the Stage II setting. May not seem like much, but it's made enough difference that I will now keep my diesel. I have also noticed a definite increase in performance. I can't wait to see what it does when I hook my cattle trailer up to it. As I said, I love it, no regrets."

"My Max energy programer did not offer adjustment for the radiator fan as advertised. My Tahoe has the thermostatically controlled fans. Other adjustments on shift change RPM and shift firmness work fine. I did see some seat of the pants power increase in both the premium fuel and regular fuel settings. I saw about .5mpg fuel mi. increase over an 1100mi. trip. that i regularly make. App. 500mi. on reg and 650mi. on premium. No change around town app. 14.5 mpg. I have emailed your customer service for any help or hints to be sure all was done correctly. So far no response. This is disappointing for both customer service and performance."

"Added 34HP (at the rear wheels) to my C6 Z06. I could not believe it work that well. I saw it on the Speed Channel (Horsepower TV). It took about 2 minutes to load the program from under the dash connector. The first thing I noticed was the throttle response. My Z06 is pretty stock, only the Hypertech and a CAI. My 1/4 mile time is 11.3 based on my third run (11.7, 11.6, and 11.3) after only 600 miles on the OD. And that was at only a 1600-1800 RPM clutch dump."

"I should have gone searching for one of these a while ago! Actually, it was for a competitor that I went searching, but they didn’t have a program for my 2002 truck. So, I took a chance on Hypertech and found it was exactly what I needed. Now, I have a “spunky” diesel truck, and have gained 7 MPG. At today’s prices, I can handle that."

"Towing an 11000lb trailer with a F-250 it made a big differance for us. Our first travel attempt we did not have it and was also fighting a head wind; we turned around and came home cause we were worried about the engine over- reving at crawling speeds. This last trip was quite a distance and even though Interstate speeds are impossible, having the "reset" power at least kept us around 60-65mph on those that have the speed limit at 75."

"Used the Max Energy on Stage 1 and 2 prior to installing my lift kit and 37's and I couldn't tell much difference with Stage 1 over stock. When I went to Stage 2 I noticed the truck accelerated better, and once the RPM's get over 2000 the Max Energy really kicks in. Put the lift and 37's on and bumped the programmer to Stage 3. It made a big difference. The truck accelerates better than it did with stock/stage 1/stage 2 and 33" tires. I am very impressed with the ease of installation and the ability to adjust your speedometer for different tire sizes. I would definitely buy this product again!"
