Hypertech's engineers have cracked the code to bring their award winning, high performance engine tuning to late model cars and trucks.

The enthusiast no longer has to pay for expensive dyno time because the Max Energy is complete with optimized tunes developed specifically to get the most out of your vehicle. Max Energy's Power Tuning software extracts every bit of energy possible out of every molecule of fuel for more miles at part-throttle and more power at wide-open throttle. In order to increase engine efficiency, horsepower and torque, Hypertech's engineers first make hundreds of dyno runs to optimize the spark and air-fuel curves point by point over the entire rpm band from just off idle to wide open throttle. Next they take the vehicle with the new tune to the track and the street to verify real world performance gains. The results: maximum power, quicker acceleration, smoother shifting and better drivability.

The Max Energy also offers specific features for your make, model and year, so you can personalize your vehicle's performance to suit specific needs or uses:

  • RPM "rev" Limiter
  • Top-Speed Limiter
  • 0-60 mph Electronic Throttle Restriction
  • Read and Clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
  • Return to Stock or Change Option Settings
  • Tuning Program Includes Speedometer Recalibration
  • Internet Updateable

Hypertech makes it easy too. Simply plug Hypertech's Max Energy into the vehicle's under-dash connector, answer a few "yes"/"no" questions that appear on the product's scrolling screen, then with the push of a button re-program your vehicle's computer with improved performance and efficiency in less than15 minutes. Uses Hypertech PC software to download updates and new tuning programs (software is not yet compatible with Windows 7).

All Hypertech products are perfect for vehicles already modified with performance intake and/or exhaust products and are street-legal for use in all 50 states (C.A.R.B. E.O. or pending). Hypertech products will not void your factory warranty and have a 30-day, money-back, satisfaction guarantee.

    3.8 out of 5

    Worked great but had to submit a request for a map to work with my vehicle which took a couple days. Feels more responsive, MPG unchanged. It's no miracle but I'd say it was worth the money. Fueling seems very clean (not too rich/not too lean, no flat spots in torque curve).

    The unit has performed flawless since installation in Spring of 2020. I used it's capabilities to change the gear ratio and to turn off the program that at cruising speed randomly shuts off cylinders. That feature was the best thing for drivability of my truck.

    4.2 out of 5

    This did not provide the immediate increase in power or mileage that I was expecting. It is programmable for max. rpm, shift points and firmness. So it gives you a few settings to play with. I had it way too firm to start with. After I eased off it ran much better. The acceleration is definitely smoother without that dead spot that was always there before. The mileage has not really changed yet, but I read that it takes a while for it to adapt to your vehicle and driving style. All in all definitely worth it. It is running smoother and faster now.
