IMPORT= ANT

Your vehicle’s computer will not be programmed at the end of the programmi= ng menus until you answer the question “PRESS 'Y' TO PROGRAM”. Feel free= to experiment with the programming choices without the fear of accidentally programming the wrong thing into your vehicle computer. You can make any ch= oice that you want to, change it again and again, without programming it into yo= ur vehicle computer until you are absolutely ready.

WHILE = THE PROGRAMMER IS PROGRAMMING:

• DO NOT LEAVE THE VEHICLE WHILE PROGRAMMING IS IN PROCESS.
• DO NOT PROGRAM YOUR VEHICLE WITHOUT A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY. IF, AFTER YOU HAVE PROGRAMMED YOUR VEHICLE’S COMPUTER WITH THE HYPERT= ECH POWER PROGRAMMER III, YOU DECIDE TO CHANGE THE TUNING, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU RECHARGE YOUR VEHICLE’S BATTERY.<= /span>

YOU MAY EITHER DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO CHARGE THE BATTERY OR
USE A BATTERY CHARGER. BUT EITHER WAY, M= AKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY HOLDS A= FULL CHARGE.

• DO NOT DISTURB THE CABLE WHILE PROGRAMMING. • THE ONLY TIME YOU MAY REMOVE THE PROGRAM= MER CABLE
FROM THE DLC SAFELY IS PRIOR TO PRESSING ‘Y’ TO PROGRAM YOUR ENTRIES. HOWEVER, ANY PROGRAMMING CHOICES YOU HAVE MADE WILL NOT BE SAVED. = NOTE: IT IS NOT SAFE TO UNPLUG THE PROGRAMMER CABLE ANY TIME AFTER YOU HAVE PRESSED ‘Y’ TO PROGRAM.
• DO NOT TURN THE KEY OFF UNLESS INSTRUCTED BY THE PROGRAMMER.
• DO NOT START THE ENGINE.

Any of the= se actions will interrupt the programming process. The programmer is designed = to recover from these conditions, but they should be avoided. You will achieve best performance if you replace your stock thermostat with a Hypertech 160° or 180° P= owerStat. The programmer will work with a stock thermostat but our best performance tuning was specifically developed for a cooler running engine.

You will a= chieve best performance if you use premium grade gasoline (the highest octane rati= ng available in your area). Make sure you have premium gasoline in your vehicl= e before installing Hypertech's engine Power Tuning.

HYPERTECH = POWER PROGRAMMER

III= INSTALLAT= ION INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW

Congratula= tions! You are the owner of the Power Programmer III, the latest in high-performa= nce technology. Now you can optimize your engine’s tuning, as well as adj= ust other vehicle parameters

(see listing at the bottom of this page) all at the tou= ch of a button.

= ;

Your vehic= le has an onboard computer that controls the engine and transmission. Inside your vehicle’s computer is a FLASH memory chip which contains the vehicle’s programming. The programmer actually reprograms this FLASH computer chip according to your specifications

with Hypertech’s Power Tuning. This is the only way = an individual can reprogram some 1994/1995 and all 1996 and newer vehicles sol= d in the United States.

&nb= sp;

To reprogr= am your vehicle’s computer, simply plug the programmer cable into the vehicle’s diagnostic connector, located under the dash panel on the driver’s side. Set the parking brake. Next, turn the ignition key to = RUN but do not start the engine. Press the up arrow button on the programmer. It will then identify your vehicle and ask a series of questions on its screen= .

When compl= eted, turn the key to OFF and disconnect the cable from the diagnostic connector.= Now you’re ready to Feel the Power!=

&n= bsp;

Hypertech’s Power Tuning can be stored in only = one (1) vehicle at a time. When you install Hypertech̵= 7;s Power Tuning program into your vehicle, the programmer reads and stores your vehicle’s

factory programmi= ng. Because your factory program is stored in the programmer, you can reconnect= the programmer to your vehicle and use it to return to the factory programming = at any time. After you

have done this= , your vehicle will be in its stock configuration and the programmer may then be u= sed on a different vehicle of the same year, make, and model.

= ;

You may al= so reconnect your programmer at any time to change the programming. For exampl= e, if you have replaced your factory tires with different diameter tires, you = will want to correct your speedometer,

odometer, and auto= matic transmission shift points. Simply reconnect your programmer, answer the necessary question(s), and reprogram your vehicle. You do not have to retur= n to stock first.

= ;

DO YOU KNO= W WHAT YOU’RE PUMPING INTO YOUR VEHICLE?

= ;

For purpos= es of improved air quality, availability of Reformulated gas (RFG) is being requi= red in some parts of the country. Hypertech is incl= uding Power Tuning for select vehicles using this gasoline,

sometimes called “oxygenated fuel”. We encourage our customers to identify the t= ype of gasoline being used and select the Hypertech= Power Tuning accordingly.

-THE ENGINE SHOULD ALWAYS BE COLD WHEN INSTALLING THE POWERSTAT.

Part #1014 - 160° PowerStat

Part #1015 - 180° PowerStat

NOTE: The thermostat in this engine is a "housing " style thermostat. It is located on the
front of the water pump assembly at the bottom edge of the passenger side cylinder head. (See Figure A1 & A2).

Make sure that the vehicl= e is parked on a level surface before installing the H= ypertech PowerStat.
Allow the vehicle coolant= to cool.
Turn the surge tank cap counter-clockwise very slowly to remove the pressure from the cooling = system. If you hear a hissing or spurting sound, stop and let the pressure ble= ed off. When the hissing or spurting sound
goes away, finish removing the surge tank cap.
Open the radiator drain p= lug and drain the coolant from the vehicle.
Remove the radiator hose = from the stock thermostat.
Remove the two (2) 10mm b= olts holding the stock thermostat to the engine. (You may want to use an extension on the socket wrench for easier access.)
Lift out the stock thermostat. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry, if necessary. Cl= ean all the sealing surfaces.
Install the Hypertech PowerStat,= making sure the O Ring is sealed properly. For ease of installation, you may = want to apply a small amount of grease to the PowerSta= t™ to help retain the O Ring.
Reinstall the thermostat bolts and any hoses removed. Torque the bolts to 7 ft.-lbs.
Close the radiator drain plug.
Fill the cooling system w= ith the proper water/coolant mixture. Refer to the own= ers manual for the correct ratio. Pour the coolant into the surge tank.
Start the engine and let = it idle for approximately one (1) minute.
Reinstall the surge tank = cap.
Cycle the engine from idl= e to 3000 RPM= in thirty (30) to forty (40) second intervals. This needs to be done u= ntil the engine coolant temperature reaches 210°F or 99°C.
When the cooling system i= s at the proper temperature, shut off the engine. Remove the surge tank cap= as described in Step 3.
Leaving the surge tank cap off, start the engine and let it idle for one (1) minute. Then, fill t= he surge tank with the coolant mixture to 1/2” above the “Fill Cold” mark on the surge tank. Now reinstall the surge tank cap.<= /li>
Repeat Step 14 once more,= then shut off the engine.
Allow the vehicle coolant= to cool, then remove the surge tank cap again = as described in Step 3. Top off the coolant system to 1/2” above the “Fill Cold” mark on the surge tank, th= en tighten the surge tank cap.

IMPORTANT: NEVER MIX ORDINARY ANTIFREEZE (GREEN) WITH THE Dex-Cool™ ANTIFREEZE
(ORANGE) OR YOU MAY DAMAGE THE COOLING SYSTEM.

G. SHIFT POINT MPH<= /st1:place> AND RPM (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ONLY)

Be sure to read and und= erstand this entire section before attempting to reprogram your shift points.

The shift point option all= ows you to change the RPM at which your transmission shifts at
wide-open throttle to find the very best shift points for maximum accelerat= ion. You can try optimizing the shift points using the seat-of-your-pants techni= que, but how will you know if your e.t.’s impr= oved or not? The only accurate method for this optimization is at the track with timing slips as the measuring device.

In order to optimize the performance of any vehicle, consistent test results are necessary.
If a vehicle varies plus or minus 1/10th of a second in the quarter, run to run, with no changes, it is impossible to test any product (shift point, starting line RPM, etc.) that has the potential to gain 1/10th or 2/10ths of a second, because= the gains or losses on any one (1) run could be due to inconsistency rather than the variable being tested. Therefore, before testing anything, make the veh= icle consistent.

Wheel-spin, if present, is the overwhelming cause of inconsistency.
You must develop a starting line technique that gives you the best repeatab= le elapsed times. Tires are the most important product you need to cure wheel-spin. For street driven vehicles, we recommend D.O.T. approved street slicks as large as you can fit under the wheel wells of your vehicle. In any case, before testing shift points, arrive at the starting line technique th= at gives you the best repeatable results, with or without slicks.

Throw out any run with excessive wheel-spin, and try = to get at least three (3) runs that are within 4 or 5 hundredths of a second. Then average them and use this average value (not just your best run) for all testing comparisons. Your best e.t.’s= will occur when you leave as hard as you can without wheel-spin. Confirm this by practicing and observing the results.

And finally, a very important point for any and all high-performance testing...always test only one (1) variable at a time unti= l it is optimized. For shift point optimization, this means test only one (1) shift point at a time until the = best RPM is found, leaving all other shift points alone. Once the best 1-2 shift poi= nt is found, program it in and leave it. Then repeat the same optimization pro= cedure for the 2-3 shift point. It is not usually necessary to optimize the 3-4 sh= ift point (unless the gearing in the vehicle causes the shift to occur during t= he 1/4-mile run) because it will occur at a speed so high that it is out of range, even on a race track. Howeve= r, if gearing is causing either the 2-3 or the 3-4 shift to occur just before the= end of the 1/4, you should try raising the shift point enough to allow the vehi= cle to cross the finish line without making that last shift. =

The highest shift point RPM you can use must a= lways be less than the rev limiter RPM.
If you do hit the rev limiter, the computer will shut the fuel off until RPMs drop sufficiently, so let off the throttle and a= bort that test run. The rev limiter is there to protect your valve-train and the engine from damage. Even if you went quicker every time you raised the shift point RPM, stop at 100 R= PM below the rev limiter. That’s the most RPM you can use safely= for that shift point.

• This is the first screen you will see:

PRESS Y TO ADJUST SHIFT POINT MPH AND RPM

PRESS N TO KEEP STOCK SHIFT POINTS

• If you press ‘Y’, you will see the following screen:

USE UP/DOWN BUTTONS TO SELECT MPH HIGHER OR LOWER<= o:p>

1-2 SHIFT +0 MPH

The automatic transmission shift point adjustment ran= ge for the LS1 Camaro/Firebird/Corvette is:

1-2 shift: +/-6 MPH (In 1 MPH increments)
2-3 shift: +/-12 MPH (In 1 MPH increments)
3-4 shift: +/-18 MPH (In 1 MPH increments)

Press the up arrow button once for 1 MPH, twice for 2 M= PH, etc. and then press the ‘Y’ button to enter your 1-2 shift point choice. If you don’t want to change the 1-2 shift point, enter a zero (0), and press ‘Y’.

After downloading the 1-2 shift point you want to tes= t, disconnect the programmer and make your test runs (At least three (3), but as many as needed to get three (3) good runs for averaging.). If you’ve seen a g= ain, continue moving in that direction until you begin to slow down or until you= are within 100 RP= M of the rev limiter. You can now review all of your test results, select the best 1-2 shift point for your vehicle, and program it in.
If two (2) different shift points run the same average e.t.’s, use the lower MPH and RPM to save wear and tear on the vehicle.

Once optimized, repeat the same procedure for the 2-3= shift and the 3-4 shift. That’s all there is to it. The Hypertech Power Programmer III is the only product available that gives you the ability to optimize the be= st shift points for your vehicle.

NOTE: These ta= bles are for general reference ONLY. Vehicles will vary slightly depending on tire height and accuracy of the tachometer.

What T= o Do Before Taking Your Vehicle In For Service

If you take your vehicle t= o a dealer or mechanic for service, you must first remove
the Hypertech Power Tuning and restore the stock programming. This is because diagnostic devices expect to find stock calibrations, and will often overwrite the program if the latest calibratio= n is not found in the computer memory. This will result in the loss of your Hypertech Power Tuning data. The Hypertech Power Programmer III has an internal security system that allows its Power Tuning program to be installed in only one vehicle at a time. In order to maintain the most curr= ent calibrations for your vehicle, the Power Programmer III is designed to all= ow you to restore the stock tuning before you take your vehicle in for service so = that the service technician can upgrade your
stock calibrations. If the Hypertech Power Tuni= ng program is overwritten at a dealership or repair shop, the Power Programmer= III will not restore the Power Tuning data or the original stock tuning data to your vehicle.

You can avoid these proble= ms by simply restoring the stock tuning before you take your vehicle in for servi= ce. After the service is complete, you can reinstall your Hypert= ech Power Tuning. If you have any questions related to service issues, please c= all Hypertech at 901-382-8888.
