    C8 Corvette Tuning

    So unless I missed it, I have yet to see a post about this.

    Has an progress been made on unlocking the ECM in the C8 Corvette?

    So Hennessy strapped a twin turbo on a C8 with a base tune? Then started hammering it? Does not add up.
    I always tune VVE....

    Yep lol.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    Pretty sure they also added meth to make up for fueling and to keep charge air temp down

    So how is the system not freaking out and pulling timing and throttle? unless they are fooling the sensors to think they are getting a stock amount of air?

    They can trick the IAT into getting whatever timing they want..
    Meth injection added can put fuel where it needs along with MAF and VVE increasing regardless with airflow like any other ECM
    Not sure since we are not able to look at the tune on throttle so I’m sure there is some leeway there.. probably why they stopped at 5psi (timing I’m sure is fairly decent as well to make that much power)

    There are all kinds of "Old school" ways to tune a car mechanically. As mentioned above, you can add a timing box, hook up a certain OHM resistor to the IAT to play with timing, increase or decrease MAF diameter, race gas, meth, etc.

    The new MAF'S are LIN based and don't work off voltage.
