Totally new here and to programming. I really an old school guys, you know nut and bolts only. lol. But I do have a wealth of IT experience as far back, well I wont tell. :-) Lets just say I was the Internet before there was an Internet!
So my first dumb question: bought my first ever Camaro this past Saturday a 2011 2SS L99 Automatic Convertible. Awesome condition inside and out, but has 82k miles on it. Pretty certain this thing was it has deep rumble when i take offv8 with loads of power, just don't know to what extent yet, and don't know how to determine it either. I've only determined it has a K&N Air intake, headers and was fitted with slotted disc brakes. Have not been under the car yet. Disabled so my knees wont allow it yet, but I hope to get help some time in January to find out what under there. So how do I download the tune. What is the cheapest device that can do this. And lastly know of any good tuner in my area, that wont break my back. Any help appreciated. Thank everyone.
I'm Mike I'm trying to learn to tune at 71 and I ain't lying! I feel a little out of place truth be told. I own 2013 chevy caprice ppv 6.0 6l80 BTR stage 2 cam, Kooks lt headers, 2800 stall I'm getting surge and was hoping for some direction on how I should approach this.
I'm new here. 38... been a forum guy since high school accounting class (literally spent half the day on a hotrodders forum).
How yall doing?..... from Rowan county NC
Hi, I'm Pete. I have an electronics background but am new to auto controls.... I fiddled around with some Honda 1990-ish ECU's several years ago installing Eprom sockets on the mainboard so I could theoretically do some tuning, but never got past just making sure it still worked afterwards (!). I want to get my hands 'dirty' with a Chrysler(Jeep) 2000-2004 pcm. Thanks for letting me join the group.
Carl. Florida man with no background in tuning cars. Have a 2004 CTS-V I picked up a year ago and have slowly been upgrading it ever since. After I installed the cam and new heads I needed a tune and knew that after $800 for just one with many more to come I would need to learn how. Got the MPVI3 for Christmas and have been soaking in as much information as I can. It wouldn't be so intimidating if it wasn't for my daily and sole mode of transportation. Here's to a successful future of tuning with no blown up engines!
Hi,
I'm Shamnas. i have been into tuning for quite some time now. mostly reflashing stock ECU's and TCU's with traditional remapping & global tools. new to HP tuners world. hope to learn and grow with fellow tuners here.
Hello my name is Richard Ortiz
So I'm seeking information on what kind of tunner to buy I really don't want to buy the wrong one or a cheap one.
Ok so I had my 5.7 hemi stroked out to a 6.1. .25 over on the pistons, Custom Forced air turbo cam, 1k horse torque converter 3k stall, new ported CNC heads, Mds delete, Hellcat lifters, Hellcat oilpump, ceramic Coded bearings, Long tube headers, catalytic converters delete, straight Borla 3' mid pipes. On top of it all is a Edelbrock E-Force supercharger.
Be sides the engine I had after market 6 piston Wildwood breaks, calipers, rotors, replaced stock break lines with stainless steel. 20' dodge rims egeal one tiers.
I've been working on this project for at least two years last week I heard her start for the first time. I got kinda Choked up. She's gonna be the baddest on the block. But I'm sure because of the agrisive cam and the computer settings are for a 5.7 she will not hold an ideal without pressing the throttle. Driving her a qr mile to fill up on 91 was ridiculous she's just has to much power.
I live in LA county CA, can someone please send me a link to the best recommended Tunner for my build. I would appreciate it thank you.

Hi all, my name is Jeff, Southwest Louisiana shop here, G8 GTs are my favorite, and of course any variation of Holden... My guys here are LS nerds and we are wanting to know more about tuning. We have dabbled a bit for a few years in HP Tuners but we are hoping to get deeper and understand it much better. Projects here are, 88 Fiero GT, used to have a SB 350 in it, looking to get an LS4 from a Pontiac Grand Prix GXP installed someday. 09 G8 GT, pair of these. 95 Miata that needs an LS swap bad... Chevy Silverado truck lowered and some engine mods, and the list will continue. From a shop standpoint, it is awesome to see HP and others cracking into systems to make them do what we want them to do. Really appreciate being here and all the work behind this!!

Hello. My name is Lenzo from France. I am a TOTAL NEWBIE to mechanic and tuning. I followed tutorials online on how to change radiator, fans, thermostat...on my CHARGER RT 07. I blow up the engine and end up buying a new one. It got here and a mechanic is going to figure out on how to swap the old with the new 5.7 (RAM engine). I decided to take the opportunity to buy some extra stuff (cam, eagle intake manifold, KN air intake, Afe exhaust manifold along new injectors) and most importantly an HP tuners and the bus can cable. I dont know where to start as far as setting this stuff up. I was told to get to this forum...but no sections explains what to do for a total beginner. Any advice ? Cheers
Hello, new from Texas. I'm a GM guy with mostly LS vehicles. I just started and had a few questions, so I figured it was time to join.
Hello all
My name is Kelvin. I am a car lover and I just added a HP Tuner to my toy box. I'm here to soak up all the knowledge I can.
Hello, My Name is Brent and have been a member since 2020 but never got into the forums. I have a 2010 HHR SS boosted with HPT to about 28lbs (430 WHP) and a 2009 HHRS boosted to about 25. I also have an 93 corvette and I recently bought a 2010 CTS performance edition. Anyone have a tune file for it? 3.0L AWD with automatic transmission.
New Guy here names Joe from NW oklahoma. 20yr tech ASE master just getting into the tune side
hi, guys
Not new to fuel injection as I have 92 2dr yukon with an Ls7 swap before you could buy a harness to make it easy. That whole experience kinda killed my quest to dive into other builds the same way but as its become more mainstream I've decided its time to do another this time i wanna learn a bit more about what makes it all work together. so my new build is a really cool 58 impala I've put a alumn 6.2 l92 with a 6l80e into i have it starting and drivable but has a ways to go till its a turn key freeway flier. Look forward to sucking up all the knowledge you tuners and fellow builders have to offer. if you would have told my 9th grade math teacher that I could hook a mile and pile of wires to a computer and engine and make it run, she would have laughed you off campus faster than i dropped out!
Hello all this is Mark from Florida.
I have no idea how to tune at all. But, I do want to learn. I enjoy turning wrenches for fun and for my job. I run low voltage cabling (Fiber, Cat 6, HDMI etc.)
Hello all,
I have been using this forum for quite a while and greatly appreciate all of the information everyone is willing to share. I have several LS swapped vehicles and am sure it won't end there.
Hello everyone from everywhere, I'm from Northern Manitoba Canada. Nice bombie day here at -34c but used to it. I own a 2014 Ram 2500 with a 6.4 hemi, 4.10 gears and use it for the great outdoors we have. Fishing is awesome up here as well as hunting so do lots of that.
I'm here to learn what I can about HP Tuners so when I purchase one I can get into it to help aid in the efficiency of my truck. Once learning and applying that knowledge I then want to use it on my wife's truck. Yes we only own trucks due to the territory and conditions we live in. Attachment 141737
G'day peoples,
Im Nic From Australia.
New to this EFI tuning drama, and have pretty much 0 experience with terminology and understanding . So i will probably require A LOT of assistance from eperienced and clever people in the LS community. hint hint.
I do know how to copy and paste. lol.
I am old school, cold is rich, hot is lean, take it for a drive if it knocks , take some timing out or add some fuel.
Running a 2008 SS Commodore (G8) just had the l98 replaced with a L77( DOD removed) VCM5SC cam, 1 7/8 headers into full 3 inch twin. OTR intake, Stock 6l80 and torque convertor. Stock heads. Did make 303.1kw at the rubber @ 6057 rpm, 600 NM @4571. now I have no idea.
When it came out of the shop, high idle, Liked to stall when slow or stopping. Made the mistake of trying a DiabloI3, which I have retired as it wipes the tune, not modifies. Running a modified stock tune , help to cut and paste. and MPV13.
Any help/guidance from seasoned tuners would be appreciated.
