How Does a Bully Dog Triple Dog GT Gas Programmer Work?

Vehicle programmers are great for getting the most out of your car or truck. But, many people dont even know how something like a gas programmer actually works. Here, we are going to shed some light on the subject of the inner workings of a gas or diesel programmer.

Generally, engine power programmers work best in vehicles such as pickup trucks or SUVs, simply because of their large displacement and much better response to fuel, ignition modifications and air. Even though programmers fitted in diesels such as Powerstroke find an additional benefit with the ability to adjust boost pressure, gas trucks which have EFI also benefit from, an increased peak in horsepower and torque, faster turbo spool, better towing ability, a larger total area under the torque curve, and more importantly, increased fuel economy. Apart from these, some other benefits of using a programmer in gas engines are the ability to clear diagnostic trouble codes and as a toolset to correct RPM and speedometer settings.

And while an engine power programmer is plugged into the diagnostic port which is under the dashboard with not modifications required, the best thing about an engine power programmer is that it is removable and even tunable so that the user is able to get exactly what they want out of their ride. The engine power programmer can also be mounted on top of the dash so that the driver is able to see the performance data while they drive. The following are some of the areas in which an engine performance programmer comes in handy for the driver.

By using the engine performance programmer, a user can manage their engines air and fuel ratio for optimal performance. You can also ensure that the ideal amounts of each is combined with exact ignition spark timing as well, so that you can get the most power with each combustion stroke.

The Best Ignition Timing

The timing of an ignition is based on the volume of air and fuel along with the location of the ideal compression points in an engines piston for the best output. An engine power programmer is able to determine that exact timing and correlate it with the mix of fuel and air in the cylinders. And in case you want to use a higher grade of fuel octane, the programmer can also come up with a more aggressive timing and mixture so that your vehicle can take full advantage of the vaporization.

Removal of the Speed Limiter

In some vehicles, the preset speed limiter of the manufacturer can cause problems for the driver if they are set very low. With the use of the engine power programmer, you can remove the speed limiter altogether.

The Rev Limiter

Another benefit of using a Bully Dog power programmer is its ability to adjust the rev limiter. This enables the driver to accelerate within the limits of the most beneficial power band.

So, these were just some of the ways in which an engine power programmer works for improving the performance of your vehicle.
