Power To The People
Hypertech's new Power Tuning programs for '03-'07 Ford trucks equipped with 6.0L Power Stroke engines increase output by as much as 115 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque more than factory tuning. Hypertech's Power Tuning program for '06 Duramax-equipped GM trucks produces gains of as much as 95 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque over stock. In addition to three-stage power tuning, Ford applications also allow users to firm up automatic transmission shifts and to read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) from the on-board computer. GM applications add an adjustable top-speed limiter for speed-rated tires and allow re-calibration of the speedometer and odometer for non-stock tire sizes, from 26 to 36-inch diameter, and rearend gear ratios, from 3.23:1 to 4.10:1. The HyperPAC performance automotive computer also offers informative Drag Strip, Dynamometer, and Gauge displays with a touch-screen interface.

In-And-Out Package
Programmers and modules are not the only way to make horsepower with your GM 6.6L Duramax diesel. Volant designed its cold-air intake and its stainless steel exhaust system on the dyno to dramatically improve the Duramax's breathing and efficiency. The result is a combination that the company claims produces more than a 45hp gain at the rear wheels. Volant's intake design improves airflow by picking up air from three locations and funneling it through its large, conical Primo filter, using ProGuard-7 technology. Volant's high-flow, 304-grade stainless steel exhaust system improves the Duramax's exhaust flow by greatly eliminating backpressure. The system is fully polished from end to end and uses a short, high-flow muffler and 4-inch mandrel-bent tubing to promote quicker turbo response and torque, without adding any drone inside the cab.
