Hypertech's Hypertech ThermoMaster Computer Chips (ref 6930) is a socketed ECM reprogramming solution for popular truck and SUV platforms including GM and Mopar applications. By replacing the factory calibration EPROM with Hypertech's optimized tune, this performance chip delivers controlled gains in horsepower and torque through revised fuel curves, ignition timing, and transmission shift points. It's a time-tested upgrade that defined an era of DIY performance tuning.

Expect 15-25 HP and 20-30 lb-ft of torque gains on most V6 and V8 applications. The ThermoMaster's calibration optimizes fuel enrichment at WOT, advances ignition timing for maximum cylinder pressure, and adjusts the rev limiter for extended RPM range. On automatic-equipped vehicles, shift timing and firmness are also recalibrated.

Access your ECU, open the housing, and swap the factory EPROM for the ThermoMaster chip. Depending on your ECM, you may need a chip extractor or a soldering iron for socketed vs. soldered chips. Hypertech provides vehicle-specific instructions. The process is fully reversible by reinstalling your original chip at any time.

The Hypertech ThermoMaster is the original drop-in ECU chip upgrade for a reason. Add Hypertech ThermoMaster Computer Chips (ref 6930) to your build and experience what professional EPROM tuning can do for your classic vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much power will this Hypertech ThermoMaster computer chip add to my engine?

The Hypertech ThermoMaster Computer Chips is a replacement PROM chip that recalibrates your ECU with optimized fuel and timing curves for noticeable performance gains. You can expect anywhere from 10 to 25 additional horsepower and 15 to 30 lb-ft of torque depending on your specific engine and model year. The biggest improvements are typically seen in the mid-range RPM band where you do most of your everyday driving.

Can I install this Hypertech ThermoMaster computer chip myself or take it to a shop?

Installing the Hypertech ThermoMaster Computer Chips requires opening your vehicle's ECU case and carefully swapping the factory PROM chip with the new programmed one. You will need a small flathead screwdriver, a steady hand, and about 30 to 45 minutes of your time to complete the job. Detailed step-by-step instructions with diagrams are included with every chip to guide you through the process without any confusion.

Will this Hypertech ThermoMaster computer chip be detectable during dealer service visits?

The Hypertech ThermoMaster Computer Chips is a direct physical replacement for your factory ECU chip and is completely undetectable once the ECU case is closed back up. If you ever need to take your vehicle in for dealer service, you can simply reinstall your original factory chip in about 15 minutes. This makes it one of the most discreet and stealthy tuning options available for your vehicle today.

Does this Hypertech ThermoMaster computer chip come for both gas and diesel engines?

The Hypertech ThermoMaster Computer Chips is available for both gas and diesel engine applications, but each chip is programmed specifically for one fuel type and cannot be used interchangeably. Hypertech programs each ThermoMaster and Street Runner chip separately based on the vehicle's unique ECU calibration identification number. You must use our fitment lookup tool or contact us with your VIN to receive the correct chip for your engine.

Will this Hypertech ThermoMaster computer chip help improve my fuel economy during daily driving?

Many drivers report gaining 1 to 3 MPG after installing the Hypertech ThermoMaster Computer Chips, especially when driving conservatively on the highway. The optimized timing curves and air-fuel ratios promote more complete combustion, which means less wasted fuel during light throttle cruising conditions. Remember that frequently using full throttle to enjoy the extra power will offset any fuel economy gains you might otherwise achieve.

Will this Hypertech ThermoMaster computer chip work on my stock truck without other mods?

The Hypertech ThermoMaster Computer Chips is specifically designed for stock or near-stock vehicles and works perfectly with all factory engine components and emissions equipment. Hypertech calibrations stay well within safe operating limits for ignition timing, fuel delivery, and all other critical engine parameters. If you plan major modifications like forced induction or camshaft swaps later, a custom dyno tune would be more appropriate than this pre-programmed chip.
