From the
laws of Physics, we know
that cooler air is denser
than warmer air, and since
horsepower increases as the
amount of air and fuel
burned increases, cooler air
makes more power. Replacing
the factory thermostat with
the Hypertech low-temp
PowerStat will allow the
engine to run cooler, making
more power and reducing the
engine's tendency to
detonate. Detonation,
usually producing audible
pinging or even knocking
sounds, refers to the
spontaneous explosion of the
unburned air/fuel mixture in
the combustion chamber.
Detonation violently ends
the normal combustion
process, reduces power, and
can severely damage the
engine.
Hypertech
Cool Fan Switches are
designed to be used with our
Power Tuning products for
increased horsepower. In
some vehicles, the electric
cooling fans are controlled
by the computer chip, but in
others, the cooling fans are
controlled by the fan switch
(which is usually set to
turn on at about 220°F). TPI-equipped
Chevrolet engines that have
two fans use a fan switch
for the second fan, and the
first fan is controlled by
the computer.
- Turns on cooling
fans earlier for more
horsepower
- Reduces the chance
of overheating
- Easy installation
- No modifications
