IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CALIBRATIONS

-1994 to 1997 and early 1999 Power Stroke and International trucks are fitted with smaller volume injectors than the late 1999 and up Super Duty trucks, and as such are limited to increases of about 65 HP for the 1994 to 1997 and 100 HP for the early 1999. Some trucks, depending on tolerances, may be able to utilize up to 80 HP and 120 HP respectively, but we cannot guarantee that the power gains will be achieved. Trucks with modified injectors and HPOPs are not subject to these restrictions.

1994-1997 TRUCKS WILL HAVE FEWER CALIBRATION SELECTIONS DUE TO THE POWER LIMITATIONS OF THE FACTORY STOCK INJECTORS. ADDITIONALLY, TRUCKS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS WILL HAVE FEWER CALIBRATION SELECTIONS DUE TO THE PROGRAMMING CHANGES THAT ARE MADE TO SHIFTING BETWEEN TOW AND POWER CALIBRATIONS.

ALL 7.3L POWER STROKE DIESELS WILL HAVE A MINIMUM OF 15 CALIBRATIONS AVAILABLE.

DUE TO THE LIMITATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL VEHICLES, ONLY 7-10 CALIBRATIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE.



MODIFICATIONS THAT REQUIRE MODIFIED CUSTOM CALIBRATIONS
-Modified Injectors
-Alternate fuels (veggie oil, waste oil, trans fluid)
-Engine mods such as camshafts, compression changes, cylinder head modifications
-Modified large single or twin turbos
-Aggressive high pressure oil systems (Gen-2, Pulse, twin pump, etc.) EXCEPT for Adrenaline, SRP, and Terminator T-500
-Power Adders (Nitrous, Water/Meth, Propane)
-All Modified Transmissions except for BTS Valve Body, John Wood Valve Body, or Trans-Go Tugger Kit


•We will also include the KT Performance face plate for the selector switch if you decide to go with the standard switch. So you will have the option to have the Hydra Logo or KT Performance logo on your selector switch.
•You have the option to upgrade to the gauge pod selector switch from Diamond T Enterprises. The gauge pod switch lets you mount the control switch into any standard 2-1/16" gauge pod (ie: pillar, dash top, over windshield, below dash... pods).
