Default HyperTech Max Energy!!!


Yo,

I just installed the HyperTech Max Energy on my 04 Ram 1500hemi...I notice some gain with it not a lot...and now talking to some people on here that I should have gone with theSuperchips...Has anyone else tried the HyperTech Max and then gone to the SuperChips and found that it was that much of a difference..Because if I have to send it back for that I want to make sure its worth it not just for a hp or 2...

Thanks

i am tempted to send you my SC so you can do a comparison between the two. not many people on here with max energy.

i have it. small hp gain. maybe 25hp.what i liked was the better throttle response. it wraps up alot faster.
are you using the high octane setting?

i also think that the sct is a better product. just from what i have read. i havent tried it or anything.

you're not realyl going to feel too much as far as hp goes with either programmer. superchips advertises 17.8 hp. out of 345 stock hp, you're not going to feel 17, which is probably more like 10-15 anyway.
the shift timing and shift firmness, however, you will feel. if you got your foot on the floor you're going to feel a nice kick when it goes into second.

i think it(max energy)is more of a mpg tuner. it jumped me about 2mpg.

if i was to do it again i would get the sct.
