HP Tuners Tutorials

[jjzepplin]

SOOO Glad I just found this thread! And Thank You for posting it! I just received my HP Tuners kit and have two trucks to use it on. 2014 5.3 6l80 Sierra SWB and my 72 Blazer 5.7 T56. The Blazer still needs a fuel system so I can tinker with my Sierra and disable the AFM DOD and maybe a set of headers and exhaust. I have not read all the posts here yet but am working on it. I am guessing I am going to need a few thumb drives...

Thanks mate, not sure how your post got by me, always happy to hear about another HP Tunerista. Just so you know the 2014 is a bit of a different animal than the Gen III 1997-2007 LS engines this tutorial was written for. Yours is a Gen IV and I think its a bit more complicated especially when it comes to the ignition timing tables as they introduce virtual timing curves, etc. Also I think the PCMs are different and use different plugs.

Anywho, can you customize your tunes on stock OEM cars in Florida, I know we can't here in California cause of our bianual SMOG checks?

Thank You. For now, I am just doing a few small things to the 2014. Headers and AFM delete. Oh I know about those smog laws. I spent the first 30 years of my life in Cali. I am originally from Oakland. I used to make the majority of my hustle cash getting hotrods to smog so people could enjoy them.

This is exactly the type of writeup I needed to get me going. I've been having HPTuners for 8 years and have been too scared/confused to commit to it. I've been paying for tuning that whole time haha. Well, my guy has hung it up and retired from tuning, so I stumbled across this thread at the perfect time. Thanks, Gregski, you're the man. I've just pulled the file from the pcm/motor I have for my next swap and already feel like I've got it to the point it's ready to fire.
