Hypertech Max Energy Programmer

[RippSpeed]

Well, I got it in friday night. I downloaded the program into my 2005 H2 and man its a totally different beast ... Its just has alot more power on just the regular tune. I set my tune to regular, rev limit 6200rpm, 1-2 shift +400rpm, 2-3 shift +400rpm, 3-4 shift +400rpm, 25%shift firmness, top speed of 149mph...

I tried the premuiem program and I felt it was just too much for the rig especially when tooling around town with the family soo I set it to the regular tune... Over all 2 thumbs up and very very happy with the programmer... Only thing is I have to see it Hypertech has any new updates for this programmer...

Hey, if I buy a used programer is there anything you have to do different with it? I mean is there old codes in it from the last vehicle or is it still just like new where I plug it in and it knows my vehicle. I mean crap you can buy used ones for half the price as new, but I don't want a used one if I have to recalibrate it or something. Thanks for any info.

just make sure the unit has been reset...

all programmers are locked to one vehicle ( one vin number )... Unless the last owner didnt reset his programming back to stock ... The programmer will only work for his rig not yours...

And the only other thing is you would have to maybe go online to see if they have any new updated tunning programs for your rig ...

Sounds like it works almost identically to the Superchips programmer that I have, and am quite pleased with. The only pain is having to un-program it before going into the dealership, then reprogramming when you get the truck back.

Do you do this cause your under warrranty?

Sounds like a pain in the ass, but worth it for the warranty work.

Thanks

When you "unprogram" what is involved with that?

[Mark805]

sort of off topic but not... Is it possible for me and another H2 buddy to buy a programmer and share it? Or are they designed for one car at a time only?
