and those with pre '01 ecu's who want to program for larger injectors, remove torque management.. transmission shift points,etc..

I'm quite thrilled.

[kevsxtreme02]

Hey guys, not to go off topic... I am really interested in computer tuning.. I have an 02 4.3 L with mods listed below.. and am wondering in your opinion of what's out now, which computer tuning option is best for me?

Thanks for your time and sending tuner cat the inquiry.. def good news for everyone

Depends on if you want to learn to program it yourself or rely on the services of pcmforless.com or those like them..

If you want to do it yourself I'd suggest LS1edit since you have an '02. LS1edit has been around longer and probably has most of the bugs worked out by now. It would be a little more expensive than a mail order tune but worth it in the long run.

[Verne]

This looks promising.

I'm Dancing around in circles right now, seriously

[badnoma]

Me too. I emalied them and they said that since the OBDII is not on there site yet the only way you can pay for it is with check, money order, or paypal. Im going to set me up a paypal account tomorrow!!

[hellbents10]

Yah, I get to start programming with injectors now. Maybe Nathanial will get it so i can play with his truck.

[03yellowX]

what exactly do the ls1 edits do???

[gutlesswonder]

good news for 2.2's i emailed tunercat myself yesterday to see if they would be interested in developing something like this for the 2.2. they actually got back to me and are willing to take a look at the pcm to see what they can do.

[Jess]

ummm. i don't know what to say. i can freakin tune my own truck ? that right ? if so, i'm GETTIN IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOO RA FOCKIN A !!!!!!!!!!!

[xtreme43s10]

i m sure the GP is a great thing but i m just going to sit back and let the fullsize guys try it out first and see how they like it before spending the $$.

[jimmything08]

Is this better than a PCM program or Mach reflash?

[xtreme43s10]

yes. because you can tune it yourself to your truck, not an off the shelf tune

Id feel pretty safe buyin it right away since Tunercat has been in the business for a long time. Im sure there will be bugs at first with any software. If ur interested the editable parameters is listed somewhere on fullsizechevy, its a pdf file though.

i was thinkin the same thing. let them check it out. i don't need it for several months anyway. and i bet by that time there will be another GP. how many units for the GP ? maybe we can get one going here ? but $350 doesn't sound bad at all, IF it does what it suppoed to.

anybody are to di up that pdf ? i have to go shovel 6+"s of snow. how about a basic tutorial ?

i'm excited about this. a long time coming. better late than never.

[jimmything08]

But does this tune to specific mods like the PCM does? Or is this basically a beefed up Hypertech?

[liftmys10]

"The OBDII Tuner package sells for $379.95"
Woahh thats a great price considering the HPP3 cost $350. Good find Charlie!

[Jess]

ok, i did some digging myself. check these out. i just now found this stuff. so i don't know whats all in it. checking it out now.

i just finished reading all that, and more. about all i found was : tunercat is supposed to be a real good company. and monodax is working on a dataloger.

sounds pretty promissing.

[s10rz350]

Its what the HPPIII should be considering the price. Good finds Jess.

So log with autotap/wideband o2.. make some spread sheets of your logs and then configure a calibration file for the needed changes. Load it into the PCM and then log with autotap again.. Rinse and repeat until you're happy....

[roadlet_411]

so, they skip me with my 2001? been thinking about ls1edit for some time now, anybody have any screenshots or anything so I can get an idea of what i'd be getting myself into? Don't wanna drop the money if I don't think i'll be able to figure it out.

Tuner cat isnt some new company trying to make a quick buck in the new automotive interest of alot of people these days. They have been around quite some time since the days of the burning obd1 chips.

[s10rz350]

Ordered it today through the FSC forum.

[nystateofmind27]

You cannot log from within the unit? i heard they were working on adding this feature. Has anyone heard anything?

[sy-clone]

I've had a data acquisition tool for a while now that I picked up. It's called the obd-2. Futher info
can be found at their website(www.obd-2.com). I invite one and all to check it out and tell me
what you think. I believe it's a useful tool combined with TunerCat and the price is quite good.

[WhyTry L35]

i have the mach re-flash and a dyno tune...what would be the advantage of having this??

my truck has ran the same (well) with the blower for 3 years

[s10rz350]

Well it would be great if you could get the cfg from you truck so we can see what mach changed.

Other than that if your happy with it then I dont see why youd need it. Id suggest it if you wanted to make changes or had a reason to make changes.

[hellbents10]

Just thought I would say that the program works great. Me and Zippy have played with 10 or so trucks with great success.
Banoma with the procharger on 8psi of boost went 13.1@103.3 on a shake down the day of the install.
Jay went 13.7@102.5 with the Vortec @10psi.
Zippy even did a ext. cab k1500 4wd with a vortec 305. The only mods were a shift kit, servos, and a l35 converter it went 16.2@81. Stock everything to the paper filter and exhaust that is bone stock.

Whats a normal time for the K1500?

[badnoma]

12days@75mph

[SuperSS27]

LOL,...but seriously,...im kinda curious about with just the tunercat program, how much time did it take off his 1/4 time. Trying to find out the Cost:HP Ratio.

[hellbents10]

Tunercat requires a good bit of knowledge to use correctly. It will adjust everything and anything. It is the person tuning that will produce results not the program. It took 7 tenths off his time by itself.

[SuperSS27]

How does one get good with a Tuning Program? Are there certian books that might shed some light on the processes of it, or is it just play around until you get the best results? Im going to get the TunerCat in a few months, so I guess i can play around with it. What are the main things to learn about? A/F Ratio, spark, tourque managment..?

[98bagsilverado]

Just let the Dotors of Performance program it for you.

Oh ya i'm the one with the K1500 that went 16.2@81MPH

Hey Badnoma a stock K1500, Vortec 305, goes 17days@60MPH

[toslow4u]

so how hard it is really to tune a truck with this program. i was looking at getting the hpp3 but for the same money i can adjust almost everything. and would it make much difference on a 4.3 vortec with cat back and intake????

[hellbents10]

Well you better doi a lot of research. Its not a handheld tuner. Did you see the screenshots on the first page. If you know how a V.E. table works and you know about shift timings trans adapts, spark vs. rpm vs. map...........IAT correction. Just to name a few of the 300 things you can do. In other words you can know just enough to melt the trans and engine if you want with just a program. Knowledge is needed, if you are asking how to do it all then it may not be for you till you do lots of research. I suggest you spend some time on LS-1 tech in the PCM tuning section and see what you are getting into. You can do it, just gonna take a little learning and its a awsome tuning tool.

having the tuning capability is very handy. if you're doing it yourself tunercat is not very friendly. make very small changes would be my recomendation. the other thought is to pay for a tune. there are many programmers out there that will e-mail you a tune that you can load yourself and with you having the equipment you never have to pull the pcm as well as have the ability to have updates sent to you much faster than being mailed.

w/o a wideband and a way to log the sensors youd be stupid to change anything but Torque Management, top speed limiter, rear gear ratio, and tire size.

So is anyone going to write up a beginners guide? I have played with LS1 edit but did no actual tuning. I may as well purchase Tunercats over an HPP3 since you get way more features.

Maybe show how to adjust...
TQ managment
Speed limiter
Gear ratio
Remove or add timming

maybe some other simple things as well? Just so people arent afriad to try this program out?

[s10rz350]

Torque Management:
Tables, Spark Tables, Torque Management Spark Retard Limit Vs. RPM.
The table will show -15 degrees from 0rpm to 5600. Set all to 0 for no torque management.

Speed Limiter:
System Parameters, Fuel Cutoff Vehicle Speed.
Move the slider or enter the mph you want your speed limiter set to.

Gear Ratio:
System Parameters, Final Drive Ratio.
Move the slider or enter the value which is your gear ratio (3.42, 3.73, 4.10).

Spark Advance:
Tables, Spark Tables, Main Spark Advance Vs. Load Vs. RPM, Open Throttle.
Use at your own risk

Where is a good place to share real info and .cal files? the Monodax forum seems pretty lame. Not really looking for a place to learn how to set limiters and tire size. Good info about some of the more advanced topics is what I'm after. AND I've had enough of trying to get help or telling what fixed/got around a problem just to get a goon to say: I don't have that problem!
I don't really want to let some yayhoo end up trying out a .cal file. And I can see many would, see how it works on there stock whatever. I would like to talk to some persons who know there stuff about a remap for a 3BAR. Just to see if I'm thinking right. I've had a few other ideas and tried a few things.
Do you guys know of such a place?

Why would you say, it's not very freindly? Show me some software, that is friendly, or is at least friendlier, that Tunercat's products, that have anywhere near the tuning capacity. I've been using their products for years and can't believe, that somebody would pay somebody else to tune their vehicle. I'll admite, that I haven't tried this product yet, but I will to reprogram the PCM, when I trade out the 2.2 for a 4.3 in my truck. So let us know what is more user friendly.

I think LS1 is a bit more user friendly, along with a few stand alones (already with a base setup)I've been exposed to.
The way TC groups the tables in the main screen is NOT how a persons brain usually works. Most of use think in terms of fuel, air, spark, idle, speeds, emissions, as all being in groups. TC groups first off of the type of map. Starting with switches, 2D maps, 3D maps, etc. I think many other developers group parameters by function first, as does your brain. After a few minutes of trying to use the software its not at all hard to learn. Of course one could spend years trying to not use the software if they wanted to fight it into thinking like they do...
I have not been able to find anything able to compete with the value of TC. I do hope the MXScan is as good of a deal.

Thanks for the input. I've used Tunercat other program, for rewriting Eprom files so, I had a fair amount of exposure to tuning the tables on OBD1 systems. I swapping in a 4.3 in a 98 to replace the 2.2,I figured I buy it to be able to get rid of the speed limiter and leave the 4.10's in it, at least until the gas kills me. But I'll also have to play with the tune. So hopefully, this works just as well.
