Hello I'm new to tuning. I'm driving my 88 Chevy c1500 Silverado with a 4.8 ls swap. Have done a ton of work to this no rust at all truck. Did a complete frame down and now I'm working on a complete interior swap from my 00 Monte Carlo SS pace car. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else do this it has turned out so amazing. The engine has been gone through and heads have been ported polished and shaved .020. I did a comp cam thumper 219 233 109lsa long tube headers. Next project is doing fast intake manifold and I'm hoping I can do Holley dash. I did a complete ds18 sound system head unit and 4 4x6 and 6.5 door and 2 under seat subwoofer setup.Now I am tuning using hp tuner just upgraded to mpvi2+ and still learning how to tune but I'm actually surprised I figured out enough to do start up and from there I'm learning.

New to tuning, just purchased HP Tuners MPVI2+. I'm excited and nervous both.

I'll be working on my 2004 Chevy Tahoe to start - had a 6.0L LQ9 swap last year with a supposed stock Escalade tune put on it. Now I want to get into learning more and tweaking things a bit.

Just saying hello, I'm in northeast Oklahoma.

Hello,
New to the forum. Hoping to get an MPVI2+ as soon as it is off backorder on the website. I'm working on a 2007 LE5 2.4l w/ E67 ECU from a Saturn Sky. Hoping to not do such much performance tuning but rather do the typical remove VATS, disable some of the error code reporting..etc etc. Been monitoring the forum for a while trying to learn what I can from here and youtube videos. Last ECU I had the pleasure of doing this with was an old 90's corvette ECU for a TPI injection system.. used the Moates tuning hardware. Can't wait to get this hardware and dig in so I can get this engine fired up!

Hello all, I’m Stephen. Really happy to see such an interesting group of individuals all interested in learning to tune their vehicles. Been tinkering with electronics as a hobby since I was about 6 years old and created many different mods to all kinds of vehicles from then till now, over 50. I enjoyed many years working on street and race vehicles, motorcycles, jet skis, flat track, drag cars. I?ve built carbs and one off fuel injection systems totally customized. Now I don?t race but I have a 2017 Silverado with a L96 in it so after years away from burning rubber the itch is back and it seems tuning is going to be necessary for my full enjoyment of the truck. Shame it weighs 6800 lbs but I guess that will just make things a little slower for me which is okay for now. I?m excited to learn from you guys and I hope I can offer some advice once I get up to speed.

Hi all,

My name is Chad, learned how to wrench in the Marines. I used to race flat track motorcycles and had a dynamometer for a bit.

I'm not the smartest person in the room; but I will drink any kind of beer and I know the difference between analog and digital muffler bearings.

Hey folks, David here. Retired Law Enforcement. Along with the bad stuff, I got paid to ride a Harley for a few years, and to work multi-purpose K9s for several years.
I have a 2018 Silverado 5.3, 6 speed
I am seriously considering getting the HP Tuner, (and have also looked seriously at the Hypertech 3000).
My main goals are to disable AFM / DOD, and to do something to the TCC slippage to help prolong the lives of the lifters and / or transmission. I would not complain if I got a little better MPG either.
I have been told, and maybe seen a hint of it here, that since I have a 2018, nothing can be done to the transmission without sending my ECM in. Another said that since it is a 6 speed, I can adjust it.
IF IT IS POSSIBLE to adjust, do I need to go whole hog and get the HP, or just get the Hypertech and use a canned tune? They do shift points and firmness, but I wonder if that truly changes the slippage.
(Sorry, that was not truly a quick reply)
Humbly, David

Hello everyone, my name is Perry. I have worked in an emissions testing dyno lab for the last 30+ years and building cars and trucks on the side. I recently bought HP Tuners for my latest build which is swapping a L96 / 6L80 into a JKU using an RPM Extreme kit. I had my tube buggy with a stroked LS dyno tuned and I plan on tweaking the idle tuning on it also. (Unless it is tuner locked).

[MountainTune]

Hello. Happy to be here, lots to learn. So far I have used HPTuners when I found a 2002 5.7L Express that needed a new 0411 PCM. Now I'm troubleshooting a 2005 Sierra with an L33 that won't start. Hoping to swap this motor into my old squarebody with a 6.2 diesel. Seems like a little research here will help a lot!
