Computer Upgrades for Ford Cars, Trucks, & SUV's
Since we introduced our first Ford supercharger kit in 1991, Kenne Bell has been deeply involved with re-calibrating the stock Ford computers. Today, we specialize in 1996 and later Ford car, truck and SUV superchargers and chips. For 6 years we dyno, street and track tested the new SWITCH CHIP® on our fleet of company vehicles until the computer calibration upgrades met our performance goals of optimum power, acceleration and transmission operation for every Ford vehicle at both part and full throttle - performance you can really feel. And if you want to actually feel the difference, merely switch between the PREMIUM and REGULAR modes.
Power gains vary depending on the vehicle but improvements are typically in the 10% range. Every SWITCH CHIP® has been precision dyno tuned and tested on the specific vehicle. We have improved the shift quality and increased engine horsepower at the WOT shift points. Note: Stock (REGULAR) calibrations actually reduce HP at the gear changes to "soften" the shifts. The SWITCH CHIP® puts the horsepower back in and uses it to accelerate the vehicle (see graph). This two pronged Kenne Bell approach (PREMIUM) increases engine HP (up to 25HP) and reduces trans slippage.
How does it work? We programmed 2 easily switchable calibrations into the SWITCH CHIP® - PREMIUM (91-94 octane and optimum engine and transmission performance) or REGULAR (87 octane and factory calibrations). Plug the SWITCH CHIP® Optimodule™ into the Ford computer, mount the PREMIUM/REGULAR switch in a convenient location and connect the two wires.
If for some reason the increased performance of the SWITCH CHIP® is not desired and you wish to return to 87 octane - or you want to demonstrate the difference to a friend - just flip the switch to the stock calibration with reduced engine performance and mushy shifts. We think you'll switch back to the PREMIUM mode.
