Upgrade Your Truck’s Performance with a Control Module

Your truck’s engine power output is directly proportional to the amount of air and fuel it can burn. One easy way to increase horsepower is to make sure it burns as efficiently as possible. This is where performance chips and performance control modules come into play. These chips maximize your truck’s performance by burning the air/fuel mixture as efficiently as possible, giving you maximum power.

One of the more popular methods of increasing horsepower in this way is through installing an Edge performance control module. These small computers plug directly into your electrical system, in between the data from the various sensors and the truck’s computer itself. The module intercepts the data before it has a chance to reach the onboard computer. Then, it analyzes the information, makes adjustments for the correct air/fuel ratio, ignition timing and then sends all this new information to the vehicle’s computer. These control modules always deliver accurate, immediate tuning information since they are always plugged in, reading and interpreting data from your sensors.

Each performance control module is custom-programmed to each vehicle’s specific year, make and model in order to maximize the output and efficiency of your truck’s particular engine size, transmission type and even stock tire size. As an added benefits some performance control modules are available in various power levels, or stages. This allows you to choose the perfect amount of power for your own driving habits.

Many of performance control modules for diesel trucks come with an optional in-cab monitor which displays up to the second readings of critical engine information such as turbo boost, engine gas temperature and RPM’s. Some even display your 0-60 acceleration and quarter mile time, and give you on-the-fly control of different settings.
