Chip tuning for Mack Trucks Econodyne AI-350 12.0 355hp (261kW) 1708Nm ECU
Mack Trucks Econodyne (I (1990 - 2005)) AI-350 12.0 355hp (261kW) 1708Nm — commercial diesel engine of the commercial segment of the Volvo Group (Mack Trucks) group (США, 1900). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 355 to 420 hp (+65 hp, +18%) and torque from 1708 to 2004 Nm (+296 Nm). The 1990 generation — first-generation CDI/TDI/HDi diesels with relatively simple ECU protection; OBD reading works directly.
Mack specialises in heavy tractor units and construction machinery in the US. Mack has been part of the Volvo Group since 2000. Mack Trucks is an American truck manufacturer, founded in 1900. Truck chip tuning is a discipline of its own, focused on fuel consumption and pulling power rather than peak output. The factory calibration is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1 while preserving engine life. Top diesels in long-haul tractors sit at the power ceiling, and Stage 2 requires hardware.
The professional logistics segment tunes for fuel consumption and pulling characteristics. The truck chip tuning community is an industry of its own, focused on long-haul routes. Top MAN units sit at the power ceiling of the European truck segment.
