HP Tuners Tutorials

[Kermitt47]

Thank you Gregski for taking the time to break down and document a very complex program into small logical bits that us neophytes can follow along and gain some comfort level without feeling buried and afraid of blowing things up. Your efforts and those of others like ChopperDoc are appreciated.
Have you taken a look at the Gen V LT programming with the HP Tuners and is it similar or very different?

Thank you Gregski,
This helps me wrap my head around what it will take to get into tuning.

You're welcome, it is good info even if you are going to send your PCM to some remote tuner to get the VATS disabled, at least now you can maybe give him or her a list of other things to do as well, like:

1. Change my RPM signal to 8 cylinders
2. Set my tire size
3. Here's my rear end gear ratio
4. Please turn off EGR and disable the associated diagnostic codes
5. Please turn off EVAP and disable the associated diagnostic codes
6. Please turn off the CAT heating and protection and disable the associated diagnostic codes
7. Please configure my fuel tank capacity for 16 gallons
8. Please turn off the speed limiter
9. Please enable Power Enrichment
10. etc, etc...

please provide me with a copy of my Stock File before making any changes on a DVD or a USB stick

please provide me with a copy of my New Tune File on a DVD or a USB stick

hope this helps,
G

I have not, I am really into older cars A '54 named Busty like the carb world because it takes my mind off the high tech crap I do in my regular day job, but eventually the geek in me comes out and that's why I graduated to the Gen III (1999-2007) engines, and they are a great mechanical design and not just due to the computer control, however not sure I want to take it further and go beyond that, I am not a big fan of all that shut some valves / chambers off to save fuel/economy tech and alternative fuels etc. So just a simple man trying to get by.
