What are the best settings to get the most HP out of the H2?

[Justin kyle]

I would love to know this also.We all know a super charger but is a programmer worth it?

[timgco]

I called Hypertech and they gave me this:
This is on an 03 H2.. not that it should matter.

93 octane
(make sure you use the hiigh octane with this setting or you get pinging inthe engine or just put the 87 octane setting and use that).

128 mph top end

6100 rpm rev limit

increase shift firmness

gear shifting
(1-2) raise it +3 mph
(2-3) raise it +4 mph
(3-4) raise it +5 mph
(make sure you don't use -3, -4, or -5.

HUGE DIFFERENCE. And even more fun to drive too.
PM me if you have any Q's.

[eyceburg11]

I have mine set to:

93 octane

128 top end

61000 rev limit

1-2: 3mph
2-3: 8mph
3-4: 10mph

How does that tranmission shifting sound to you guys? Should I adjust it to timgco's settings?

Don't change them on my account.
Those setting ar what Hypertech told me to set them at for the best results.
If you like how your truck shifts where you have them set, thatn I would leave them alone.
Or open your manual and call Hypertech and see if they give you the same shifting points.
I talked to one of their tech people.

For my 2004 H2 Hummer I am using the following settings with impressive results:

87 octane

128 mph top end

6100 rpm rev limit

increase shift firmness

gear shifting
(1-2) raise it +3 mph
(2-3) raise it +5 mph
(3-4) raise it +7 mph

dkshaver before I put supercharger on I had a proflash from Comp Cams. I took all torque management out just went max performance on everything. I ran it full high performance and ran 87 octane at 93 octane settings. Never pinged or knocked. There is a huge amount of safety factory built into these handhelds. I ran it with My boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge, air/fuel ratio lights, and ran solid blue which is rich, rich, and rich. I installed supercharger with 3.2 pulley and did not install Hi flow pump and it ran solid blue at WOT still. Went to a 2.9 with 7.5 to 8 lbs. of boost and again solid blue with means rich. I have a 2.75 coming in a trade back in for My 2.9 with Allen Nelson performance and He figures it will still be rich. So I have also HP Tuning software coming to lean it out and turn factory controll of electric fans on.
I do not usually recommend something that I have not tried myself and again I want to stress this is My experience. I always say do not try it just because I did it. Make Your own choice but all I can do is pass on My experience.

I called hypertech and the tech told me to try these settings...

87 or 93 octane
6200 rev limiter
increase shift firmness
(1-2)+3
(2-3)+6
(3-4)+9

The 93 octane will give you the best HP gain.

[CBR_Raven]

Does anyone know if there is a website that has custom settings for the hypertech programmer?

I'm just playing around with mine right now to see what gives me the best results. Right now I have it set to what the tech told me on the phone. (91 octane)

[PercyJ]

CBR_RAVEN,

Did you ever find that website witih the hypertech custom settings? If so, can you post it please?
Im playing around with settings in hopes to get better mileage. Its my everyday driver and I knew what to expect regarding gas consumption, but if i can save a buck.....

Not sure hat the exact mpg is, but I do know there is a big difference in the way it shifts. I don't look at the mpg anymore. I just fill it up when it's close to empty. IT really depends on if 'm going up to Breck. or driving in town. It's not much of a difference to buy a power programmer for better mpg, but is for the shifting.

[dochummer]

I am running similar settings, and I get 10.5-10.7 mpg with every tank in the city. My commute is only ten minutes, and very little highway driving, just stop and go. On the highway, I get 12-14 mpg depending on the temperature outside. If it's cooler, it's higher, warmer - lower. I have it set to the 93 octane, but run 87 octane in the tank - no problems with pinging...I also changed the shift firmness to normal...it just "kicked" a little too much for me. One thing I've noticed is that my mpg is better if I accelerate quickly, then let off the gas enough so that the transmission shifts to the highest gear and then proceed from there...really affects the mpg...

If you don't let the transmission shift then you'll get about 9-10mpg...

Guys you are worrying Yourselves over allot of nothing. These rigs are not designed for fuel economy. I know the guy who programmed the Proflash and the guy who works for comp cams programming their FastFlash. Just max it out and have fun. You will not get any better milage with these tuners. The way to get better MPG is to use less fuel and these things increase full usage if You do not keep foot out of it. Get it so that you can tow better, run faster, or stock when You do not need the other. With the programs your are setting them for, performance you will not improve your MPG, there are exceptions. If anything it may go down due to the lead foot syndrome. If You want the best MPG go to factory settings and just add cold air intake, throttle body spacer, better spark plug wires anything You can find that will help the engine burn all the fuel better with a hotter spark. Increase the air volume to lean the fuel out and mix it better for better combustion at the same time without messing with timeing etc. Now going to the perf. could get better milage since your are leaning the engine out but, you have to keep Your foot out of it and after You feel the fun it will not save fuel.

I went full perf. and My milage stayed the same as stock. Except when I got to playing and having fun with the new power.

I have gone to Magnuson and when I finish with tuning even at 93 oct. I will be able to return to factory MPG if not better. These rigs are set from factory to run so rich it is not even funny. For an example My tuning on My SC right now shows air/fuel ratio is running -.9 with 12 lbs. of boost. The perfect number is -.08 to
-.09 I will come back to -1 and even though the numbers seem small to go from -.9 to -.1 it is huge fuel savings. it is so rich the tail pipe is turning black. We cannot tune anymore right now as We are doing the A/V for the next show and hoping to paint ghost flames and 3 coats of clear.

I had all My gauges setup and running while using the Proflash before SC and at full perf. on every item i was running full rich at WOT which is where You have to be concerned not to be lean. Guys nothing is written in stone and every engine is a little different but, the handhelds have to tune rich as they have a quaranty to worry about. but running rich also can cause problems with engine so be careful there also.

One thing You do gain by running full perf. and using 87 octane is more power. That is because 87 is more volatile than 93 which delivers more power because of the instability of 87 octane.
Do this at Your own risk but, this is my experience from working with hand held programmers since 1999. To run 87 with performance make sure you are getting cold air intake to lower fuel temp to prevent detonation.
I have a 1999 Silverado with 5.3 and it has been running the way i desribed with a Hypertech from first week I got it new off the lot with cold air, throttle body spacer, Granatelli MAF and changing spark plugs before the 100,000 miles and serviceing tranny twice a year. Cheap insurance. Have never had problems and does not use any oil to speak of between oil changes. I run a machine hard as I figure they are here for me to enjoy so I do not follow break in rules and run the dog out of them all the time. My H2 was picked up at the dealer on a Friday morning and left a 3 pm for Dallas at 80 MPH most of the time. I believe breaking them in as you are going to use them. I have seen to many pampered vehicles have lots of mechanical problems. Maybe just accident.

We are going to experiment with water/methonal inj., CO2 spray on the intercooler, and if needed but, more for looks a nice billet dry ice bucket at WOT. We are going to have the computer tuning software by HPTUNERS not hand held setup to run at all times when key is turned on so We can watch the air/fuel ratio real time and mess with slowly going down to 87 octane in place of 93. I absolutely do not recommend it if You are not going to add all the gauging needed to watch what is happening. My built in PC will boot every time I turn key on and will load HPTUNERS software tuning the first thing after OS is up and running so I can immediately go to scan and watch the A/F.
Well hope I helped some

Does the HT III remove the Torque Mgmt?

[H2_SUT_SC]

TAZ - do you have pics of your ride?

[HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ]

SC I will soon have Pics.
We are hoping to be finished by 9/1 to 9/15.
We are getting all the PC and A/V done this week. We hope? We almost have all the chroming done but, will work into the next week on that. Waiting on headers and exhaust to come back from jet coat and 200 amp altenator and skid from Bright Lee. Just hoping everyone gets things in soon so We can continue to put it back together.

We are waiting on a guy that wants to sponsor captain chairs in the middle position and full bench in the back which will fit the AV theme We are doing allot better or at least We thougth he would sort of hanging and waiting. if He does not then I may buy some myself so if anyone know of where there are some good deals on captains and benchs please let me know and if You would like to sponsor and it is part of Your business We will get You noticed and Your spot on sponsor list is decided on retail value of your sponsorship. It will get in a few mags lined up and several websites of other sponsors that want to put rig on it so you would be able to put it on Your site as well.

Dragon and i have the biggest show in Arkansas 8/26-8/28 called ArkansasBlast.com
It will have Bigfoot and the loudest woman on earth truck. It is on the state fair grounds and they have drag racing and We were to have new track for this show but, the fair grounds people gave us trouble and We will have it next year. if We had it this year i was going to race but, the promoter said there is enough loose stuff he would not recommend it with all the underside chromed.

We should have 12" touchscreen running by Sat. tied to PC along with headrests screen and 12" flip down for 3rd seat riders. We will remove the factory audio and it will run off PC XM MP3 DVD Cd etc. with verbal commands with touchscreen backup. All the other stuff for fuel and mpg etc. will still work on steering wheel but, I gave up AV on steering wheel for a while to have verbal command on AV. WE will try and add steering wheel controls later. Still working on HUD. I have it in My hands now came yesterday so it will take Me a few weeks to continue My end of the work that BLOWNZ06 needs for Me to do. Looks like a go on it if the test He needs Me to run work. We will then package it in a self install package for those who want it. We are going to try and integrate it into the dash above the H2 cluster but, is going to be the toughest part of the job with so little room. We hope to do it in a one unit custom enclosure. it has turned out to be harder than first thougth and most of it is trying to figure if We can put it all togehter or have guys mounting control buttons somewhere else and brain in another box and projector itself in top of dash etc. just trying to plan it for the easiest install We can get.

I'm hiring a pro photographer as several mags want shots and a website in particular wants to put up alot of pics with comments by Me. have a MOdel that is going to be in shots very elegant as in knee high evening gowns etc. Sorry no bikini or wet t-shirts. Do not know how well i want to make comments. Maybe I can get Dragon to do that.
I will get them on the forum as soon as i get them back.
We will not have ghost flames on for this show with 3 or 4 coats of clear like We planned. We will come back to shop after and do that.

Taz -- Where you plan on mounting the PC monitor?

[HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ]

12" touchscreen in the center dash where the radio is. Cutting and making brackets to move AC to bottom of the panel and Onstar to underside of overhead console. Cig lighters will be moved one to each side of center dash console so the driver has one, the pass. has one, and We think We will leave one in the lower left front where it is. We have to relocate all the traction control buttons elsewhere not sure yet. The center will be 12" touch screen and AC controls. That is all that will fit plus maybe the one cig on lower left. We planned it on paper but, some alterations are on the go in the R&D. You know how that goes as the measurements do not always match Your idea. Would like ideas on the traction control buttons and all the other buttons that run down the left side of center dash. Thinking about moving them up on the spaces between the AC vents in driver area where many put light bar buttons.
