Ford Powerstroke Diesel Blog

The ultimate in tuning software has now become available. When compromise isn’t an option, the Sniper Delta Force tuning software brings you complete control like no other tuning software. The Delta Force is currently available for 1988-current Ford gas vehicles and 1994-current Ford Powerstroke diesel vehicles.

The Sniper Delta Force & Commando tuning features include:

1. Info displayed in “user friendly” terminology.

2. “Flash” directly to vehicle.

3. View or edit Sniper, Inc. Special Forces or “other” performance files.

4. View multiple performance files at the same time.

5. No conversions needed.

6. Create performance files different ways.

7. Compatible with other Sniper, Inc. products

1. Delta Force and Commando tuning software by Sniper, Inc. displays tuning information in “user friendly” language. This means that there shouldn’t be any phrases only understood by rocket scientists. We try to break down the terminology that’s easy for everyone to understand.

2. As a dealer/tuner, Sniper, Inc offers you the ability to program (“flash”) the performance file you’ve created into your customer’s vehicle without them having to buy additional hardware, unlike other companies that require you to sell every customer a hand-held programmer. “Flashing” directly to the vehicle allows you to benefit from larger profit margins and/or it allows you to offer an additional discount to your customer while maintaining the same profit margins.

3. Most Delta Force and Commando tuning packages include the Special Forces tuning software. This state-of-the-art software allows you to create extremely impressive “starter” or “base” performance files in just a few minutes. Just simply answer some questions and you’ll have a performance file in minutes.

4. Delta Force and Commando tuning software allow you to view multiple files at the same time. This allows you to compare files and locate the changes. For example: You can load a stock file and an already created tuned file and see the difference between the two files. In addition to viewing the differences, you will also see the “before & after” values so you know how much a specific area has been changed.

5. Unlike other tuning software, the Delta Force and Commando tuning software allow you to edit/create performance files with actual “real world” numbers (example: displays actual air/fuel ratio instead of Lambda). This prevents you from wasting time trying to figure out conversions.

6. The Delta Force and Commando tuning software allows you to create performance files different ways. You can view as a spreadsheet and type or copy & paste into the Scalars, Functions & Tables. You can view as a 2-D or 3-D graph and “drag” the values with your pc’s mouse.

7. All performance tunes created by Delta Force or Commando tuning software are fully compatible with other Sniper, Inc. products which include the “plug-in” chip, Interface and Patriot programmer.

Sniper, Inc. has revolutionized and simplified diesel tuning by making it possible for the Ford enthusiast with the 6.0 liter & 7.3* liter Powerstroke to fine tune their vehicle’s performance output. The results from this one-of-a-kind software will leave you mystified and wondering “what took so long”. For the 6.0 liter vehicles, Sniper has unlocked the mystery of towing with power with their exclusive 100 horsepower towing program. Unlike other tuners for the 6.0 liter, Sniper’s tuning kit has no coolant issues, extremely low Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGT’s) and low cylinder pressure even while towing heavy loads.

You can choose to use Sniper’s preset performance programs of 50, 75 or 100 horsepower or choose to fine tune your own performance program straight from your laptop or desktop pc as seen in the software screen shots shown below.

Sniper’s Special Forces software has been developed to work with stock or heavily modified vehicles. The Special Forces covers 1999-2007 Ford Powerstroke vehicles (6.0 liter & 7.3 liter).

In addition to Sniper’s preset performance levels, Special Forces Provides the following options:

-speed limiter adjustment -adjustment for NOS & Propane

-trans firmness** -adjustment for smoke control limiter

-trans shift points** -adjustment for aftermarket injectors (single shot & split shot)

-converter lockup** -adjustment to Injection timing

-adjustment for throttle response control

Check out these numbers:

1 programmer can support up to 2000 vehicles. No need to purchase additional programmers.

1 part # supports all 99-07 Ford Superduty’s with Powerstroke engine.

5 performance tunes can be loaded into the programmer at the same time.

2 vehicles can be programmed with 1 purchase and have the option to program up to 2000 more vehicles.

I’ve just been reading some information on Diesel Power’s website.  Apparently we’ve been spending WAY more than initially thought on diesel performance parts.  Did you guess more than $1 million per month!?  The following is a breakdown on how we’ve been ponying up the coin:

1. Engine components = $326,675
2. Fuel delivery and intake = $251,997
3. Programmers and chips = $208,081
4. Injectors = $70,006

How many of you have added to the tally…I know I have, lol.
