What is MaxEffort™ Digital Programmable Fuel Management?

The MaxEffort™ is a high performance engine parameter control device for the 1986-1987 Buick Turbo Regals or the 1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans AM. It plugs into the stock factory computer just like any other regular computer chip. The MaxEffort™ is the original, first of it's kind, aftermarket fully adjustable device for the factory computer that allows for manipulation of engine operating parameters .

There are two calibrations available:

• The MaxEffort™.
  The original MaxEffort™ chip - For cars using a stock (or aftermarket) mass air sensor.

• The MaxEffort™ ME-R.
  For cars WITHOUT a mass air sensor.

Regardless of the calibration, the MaxEffort™ runs in open loop mode. No oxygen sensor is required. This system is designed strictly for racing and off-road applications. Alternative boost control required.

How does it work?

MaxEffort™ (for Mass Air cars):
This chip utilizes a pushbutton or thumbwheel selector switch to change settings in the chip (see picture on right). With the motor running, each thumbwheel position controls the fuel delivery at wide open throttle (WOT). With the motor OFF, each thumbwheel position has a unique programmable function (idle fuel, cruise fuel, etc.). View the latest chip parameters.

MaxEffort™ ME-R (for cars WITHOUT Mass Air):
This chip uses a modified ECM, a relocated air temperature sensor, and a 3bar MAP sensor in place of a mass air sensor. Throttle response is improved as well as the ability to move more air in higher HP applications. View the latest chip parameters.
