How does Hypertech develop a Power Tuning Program?
Tuning an engine is an empirical process that requires sophisticated equipment and knowledgeable technicians to produce “real world” results. Power tuning is a time-consuming and expensive procedure that requires running the engine on a dyno, testing at each of the tuning points in the computer’s “lookup table”, and developing new values for best spark timing and fuel delivery. This is the procedure used by the automobile manufacturers, and it is the procedure Hypertech is using exclusively. Hypertech use two computerized chassis dynamometers at our Engineering Center in Memphis to develop the most powerful tuning programs possible. First Hypertech’s engineers experimentally adjust the spark timing to obtain the highest torque and power readings at a given engine RPM. Then they adjust the air/fuel ratio to obtain the highest possible power and torque readings that an optimized air/fuel mixture can produce. After the spark timing and air/fuel ratio for that particular engine speed have
