Hypertech Max Energy

[THE BIGPUNN]

wow was i nervous, but i did it! i installed the max energy last week on my dmax. installation was a breeze and it fixed my speedo which was off 5 mph due to 285 tires. anyway, there are 3 levels. i went with the second. i was mainly interested in a mpg increase. it appears i gained 2-3 mpg with the hypertech. i can tell a slight increase in power, but not overwhelming. i have not tried level 3 and dont plan on it.....at least not right away. i cant wait to hook up and pull the camper.

how did you base this conclusion, with only a few days behind you?

Unfortunately you have fallen prey to the scam many people fall for. The DIC is not corrected for the fuel histogram changes. All the box tuners omit this, leading the consumer to a renewed belief in miracles. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

well heck, i feel like a sucker. a friend of mine was wondering if my difference in mileage was that i simply re-programmed for the correct tire size and if my DIC was off the entire time before the program anyway.

fill up the tank, with no programmer, drive as usual, see how many miles u get at the half tank mark. then fill up again, load the tune, drive as usual, see how many miles u get at the half tank level. not exactly error free, but if your getting 2-3 mpg increase u will def see a difference.

no tune lets asay 180 miles per half tank. with tune...maybe u will get 220+ miles per half tank?

If you were 5mph low on the tire size, that would equate to about 7% less distance in the MPG calculation.
