    06 Chevrolet Impala 3.5L VVT tuning

    Is there anybody else that has began tuning the 06 Chevrolet Impala 3.5L VVT motor. I will be starting shortly after my MPVI Pro arrives. Hopefully before this weekend.
    Of course I will have to start on my '04 GTO first, and the Impala will be started shortly thereafter.

    Update:

    I got my MVPI and tried to obtain the VCM file, after reading the VCM I got the message that this was not supported.

    I have allready sent the file and log to support. I forgot to add a subject line in the e-mail . At least I was able to see the charts for logging a short drive.

    yeah thankfully it was only the definition file not supported error...chris/Keith should have you up and running pretty quickly.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    Thats what I figured, esp. after having some success with logging a short drive.

    We await the Guru's next code tweak for this newly added vechicle.

    A little over 4 min. That included the 10 sec. delay during the read.

    Did support get this file?? If so, Any update on the status of the updated file set yet( as refrenced byfoff667)? To start with I wanted to look at some of the shifting parameters, esp. the downshifting.

    Thanks

    Weekend? Who gets one of those...j/k, I didn't intend for it to sound like I was impaitient.. Really

    After all I did get to make a few changes to the GTO to keep me busy. And then WE did take a break or two.
