Hey guys and gals,
Just got back from a "sports show" and found a "new" chip for the V10. Claimed output is 35 HP and 47 ft. lbs. of torque. It comes with a 60 day money back gurantee and it's made here in Oregon by "Hyper diesel power". Has anyone run this one yet? The guy claimed you don't need anything but regular gas. (no 91 octane). It also defeats the speed limiter. Cost is $425.00. I didn't think the other chips boasted this kind of increase???

I e-mailed the company and asked for a torque/horespower curve. Also, I asked about voided warranties and chips. I also asked them to clarify the octane required.

Anybody else know about this or have any interest

 

Let's hope their chip isn't as lacking in content as their website. If you find out anything else, be sure to let us know. I bet a lot of people would be interested in how they get the HP/torque without requiring 91+ octane gas.

 

First, there's no way a chip is giving 35 on the V10. The Diablo gives 30 and is VERY agressive with the timing, so much so that if you run cheap gas you may get pinging. Second, the ONLY way you can a performance increase with a chip without using premium is if the chip tunes at wide open throttle only. WOT is the only place where emissions laws don't apply.

Also, make sure you ask them for credentials. How long have their programmer been at it? Diablo's head programmer has been at it for over a decade and Superchips help start the industry, Hypertech has been at it for a while too. The reason why I state this is because there are MANY companies that are using boot leg Superchips code and I suspect some clone the Diablo code too (based on what I've seen on some of the diesel chip sites).

As you may have guessed, that is why I have posted this here...for the feedback. I know nothing about chips. You obviously know a LOT
That's why I love this site
I'll let you know what their reply is, if I even get one

 

I could not find there web site, can you post there address?
Maybe they have something for the 5.4 engines that run on 87 grade fuel. Thanks

They don't mention the 5.4, but the site is www.hyperdieselpower.com
I have my suspicions about all of this

 

http://www.hyperdieselpower.com/ford_chips.htm

Check out the above site. This is for the V10 and it says 13% increase in power and 17% increase in torque.

 

Just took a look at their site.... looks a lot like bootleg Superchip modules. Funny thing too.... they claim the exact same horsepower with their diesel gold chips as Superchips does.... hmmmm.... plus the same towing limits.

Also, they claim to give an increase at all throttle positions with their gas chips. You simply can't do that without advancing timing. And timing can't be advanced without running premium or you WILL get pinging. Heck, the best you'll probably get out of an 87 octane program is about 5-6 HP and that's iffy.

Seems like a big chance to take on a chip that costs a lot more from an unknown company with suspicious claims. I don't care if you buy from me, Hypertech, whoever, just be careful and pay with a credit card.

 

Thanks Fellows. The Web Site does look a little off. Think I will look around a little more.

 

Well gang, I promised you if I received a response on this chip, you would be the first to know. Here is what they sent:

"The only graph that we have of the HP/Torque output is on our flyers. If Gary didn't give you this flyer I will be more then happy to send you one. Also, you can still run your pickup on regular gas instead of 91 octane, but it is suggested that you use the premium. The chip will NOT automatically void the manufacturer's warranty. If you would like more information on that aspect you can go to www.speedwayblvd.com/navagate/warranty.htm this website tell you all about your vehicle warranties and your rights. As for installation it should only take you at the most a half hour.
If you have any further questions either e-mail us back or you can call us toll free at 888-273-7526 "

I still don't gave a graph as the flyer I have is for the PSD.
Just for info purposes only...

 

Pretty sad that they refer you to another aftermarket supplier's website for information. I think it'd be best to stick with name-brand chips like Superchips or Diablo.

 

Also, if you are concerned about voiding your warranty, talk to your dealer. Never listen to the aftermarket reseller. Just because someone says that it wont void your warranty, does not mean it is true.

Yes, we are protected by some legislation on this... but it is still up to you hiring an attorney to make it right if a dealer says your warranty is void.

Plus, all the dealer has to do is link your problem to the aftermarket part is you are screwed. Your warranty may not be voided by installing the part. But, if that part causes a failure, that will not be covered. You would be surprised how easy it is to link one failure to another. (Obviously, I am playing devil's advocate here. I am not against aftermarket and/or high-performance parts.) Some dealers can link a faulty stereo to aftermarket air cleaner! (A slight exaggeration.

For those that like to quote from the magnusson (sp?) act, forget about it. All the dealer has to do is laugh in your face when you give them a copy of it. YOU will have to hire an attorney. It's not like the cops will show up and make the dealer fix your truck!

Another thing, this legislation only applies to the standard warranties. Extended warranties are not governed the same way.
