Chevrolet Trucks Blog

Customization of Chevrolet trucks or any truck for that matter do not only end with manual tinkering here and there. With the advent of technology, present day upgrades for vehicles can already be assisted with a personal computer.

A 2001 Chevrolet S10 owner decided to add a supercharger in the vehicle’s heart with hopes of matching up the truck’s 4.3-liter stock. From the name itself, superchargers will help this mini Chevrolet truck to produce as much power needed. There was a downside, however, in equipping the Chevrolet or Chevy S10 with this supercharger because a technology like this needs the services of a computer. Engine gurus noted that tuning the supercharger has to be the first step before even achieving a beefed-up horsepower.

With the mystery solved, the Chevrolet truck was immediately brought to one of America’s distributor for perfect power called the Ida Automotive. The Chevy S10 owner and the Ida owner immediately sat down to discuss the procedures to be done. With much thinking, the two agreed on utilizing the Perfect Power SMT-6 piggy-back computer. This powerful computer has the ability to tune almost any engine. Moreover, this high-technology gadget can also work on three separate maps-fuel, timing, and ignition-with the capability to fire extra injectors, nitrous, or other performance accessories.

The Chevrolet truck soon hit the operating room as 271-lb-hr Pico-style injectors, a two-bar 28-psi MAP sensor, and finally an E3 spark plugs were installed and tuned with the computer. The new spark plugs of the Chevrolet S10 will produce larger and warmer spark for the supercharged 4.3-liter application.
