Best Ls1 Tuning Software
Jul 04, 2009 That produces the best real world tune. From there I use the tuning software to save a copy of the tune and make other adjustments aside from the ignition / fuel settings. Things like rear gear ratio, tire size, fan turn on temps, shift points and to read/reset those pesky SES codes.
Data Logging Once Ryan set the initial adjustments to ensure that our first dyno pull went off without a hitch, he opened the LiveLink software to read diagnostics data through the SCT X3. “First you’ll have to set which parameters you want to log, since some are very important when tuning,” he says. Ryan listed the parameters he likes to monitor and explained them briefly to us. RPM: It will establish a reference for all other data gathered in relation to engine speed. Short-Term Fuel Trim (Bank 1 and 2) & Long-Term Fuel Trim (Bank 1 and 2): These are the percentage fuel corrections measured by the computer. Short-term trims are fast-acting and long-term trims are slow-acting corrections. MAF Frequency: This is the rate at which the MAF outputs and is used by the MAF Transfer function in the ECM to determine airflow.
Theres alot more that goes into tuning then strapping it down to a dyno for 3-5 pulls. My car for instance wouldnt shift into 1st or 2nd gear when I'd go wot(a4), had all kinds of TC lockup issues as well as a part throttle hesitation that were all cured within less then an hour of having the stock tune thrown back in and me doing my own tuning. Im sorry Im not a fan of dyno tuning but those are my reasons why.if the tuner does at least a partial street tune thats great but they are few & far between because of liability issues. Sorry to get you pissed off but when you say dyno tune those are the first thoughts that come into my head. I was hesitant to start mucking about in the programming.so.I went to MTI.they are local to me.and for the same price as a mail in they did the tune on the dyno. AND YES.each car is unique.mine is a B4C.93K hard miles on a 4A. Dyno numbers were 300 rwhp in and 307 rwhp out.
Without reprogramming the ECM with GM’s TIS2Web, the GTO pedal assembly would not be compatible with the 2005 Corvette ECM calibration. Gen IV ECMs can only be used with engines equipped with a 58x crankshaft reluctor.
Theres a comparo on ls1tech somewhere. For the home tuner though, either will provide more than you could possibly need, as well as years of learning. Now if you want earlier than 98, check out AEM. They have support for GM and they sell engine control modules. Over here in OZ, the most respected aftermarket ECU is Autronic.
A full dyno tune can have bad results'. Is just insane.you obviously are clueless.
While a Gen III PCM calibration has thousands of tables and parameters, tuning software exposes only a portion of these tables and parameters. The hidden tables and parameters are not necessary for engine conversions. EFILive supports nitrous calibration through the activation of an arming switch. When the PCM sees the arming signal, it is ready to apply spark and fuel delivery multipliers when certain parameters (such as throttle position) are met. Gen III PCM tuning software allows the tuner to replace the PCM’s current operating system and calibration segments with another vehicle’s operating system and calibration segments.
Simple malware protector license key. For the GTO, we were commanding a safe, rich air/fuel ratio in the 12.0:1 to 13.0:1 range. &bull With the timing conservative, we start to lean the car out and add timing to see where it responds to the best power and torque. &bull As we add a degree of timing, we compare to the previous power numbers. When the increased timing stops giving us an increase in power, we drop back to the previous setting and use it as the timing for that cell.
Which handheld is the best? Using the search feature, here are some key searches you can try for each handheld tuner: EFILive -- 'Flashscan V2' 'AutoCal' HPP3 -- 'HPP3' 'Hypertech' 'Power Programmer' Predator -- 'RWTD' 'Diablo' 'Predator' Vinci Tuner -- 'Crane Tuner' 'Vinci' 'Vinci Tuner' 'VHP' Which Scan-only solution is the best? Using the search feature, here are some key searches you can try for each scan-only solution: Autotap -- 'Autotap' EFI Live -- 'EFI Live' 'EFI Scanner' 'EFI Scan' OBD-2 -- 'Alex Pepper' ProScan -- 'ProScan'. Admin note: Moderators, clean/lock/etc.
Comparatively, with integrated real-time data logging, some scan-and-tune packages have more features to offer within the tuning software. Tuners not using a scan-and-tune suite use some other method of data retrieval. Drew Technologies offers the DashDAQ, a high-end scan tool for OBD-II vehicles. By default, the DashDAQ comes with standard OBDII PID monitoring and has the add – on option of enhanced GM PIDs. Up to two analog and two digital input devices can be added for additional monitoring. Wide-Band O 2 Sensor: The Gen III PCMs use two narrow-band O2 sensors to determine if the engine is operating at a 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio.
The common occurrence now is for these cars to have had multiple owners and fading service history. The fuel injectors in the majority of them are still original and have never been replaced or have even been cleaned. Its likely that the injectors will be flowing differently when compared to each other from cylinder to cylinder. This will cause increases in fuel usage, extra pinging and potentially even engine damage. Evidence of this may be apparent in a slightly unsteady idle and sourcing a new set of injectors may give the aging engine a big boost in overall performance. On a similar note the catalytic converters may also be orginal which will mean at 10 years old they will be very low flowing and holding the engine performance back, making it run hot etc.
You are a tuner and you're asking the utility of a scanner? You have to have some way of gathering data, communicating with the ecm/pcm, to determine what changes need to be made. You cant tune without one. If you want COMPLETE GM coverage, it will take mutiple forms of software, multiple interfaces, and mutiple scanners.
When an on-board module is replaced during service, the technician uses TIS2Web for service programming. Occasionally, a vehicle may receive a calibration update due to an undesirable performance behavior noted by owners of similar vehicles.

Using the search feature, here are some key searches you can try for each scan-only solution: Autotap -- 'Autotap' EFI Live -- 'EFI Live' 'EFI Scanner' 'EFI Scan' OBD-2 -- 'Alex Pepper' ProScan -- 'ProScan'. Admin note: Moderators, clean/lock/etc. Any future threads as necessary, these pissing matches aren't doing anyone any good. They're getting way too far off a healthy comparison to be useful to our members. Its a benefit to us that both companies have chosen to sponsor the site, I just wish they would BOTH stop acting like everyone is out to get them. Instead of pointing fingers and getting all worked up, it would be much more professional for both companies to CONSTRUCTIVELY bounce off each other to strengthen their positions. Face it - HPTuners and EFILive are at the top of the game.
Not only are the included tunes much more accurate and very refined, but some offerings feature multiple complete tunes to choose from based on vehicle modifications, live engine data, custom tuning features, and even enhanced displays, dyno, and drag racing functions. Though GMHTP has used many of the tuners you see on these pages for various projects before, we have never put a whole mess of 'em together, come up with the criteria deemed important to a potential buyer, and then tested and reviewed each tuner based on those criteria. We felt now was a good time to do such a test for several reasons: one, because it could pit an 'old standard' group of tuners against a few newbies; two, because there are strong opinions and stereotypes regarding tuners that we hoped we could prove or refute; three, because I needed an excuse to make ridiculous amounts of dyno pulls and track passes in the name of research; and, most importantly, to give potential handheld buyers the information they need to make the right choice.
Face it - HPTuners and EFILive are at the top of the game. NOBODY, on ANY platform, offers as powerful of tools as these two companies offer to the public. I just wish they could co-exist on a message forum without themselves or their supporters getting emotional about it!!! So with that: 1. HP Tuners or their supporters or anyone purported to be their supporter can no longer comment on EFILive. EFILive or their supporters or anyone purported to be their supporter can no longer comment on HP Tuners. If the order I posted the company names gets you worked up: 1.
In the last fifteen years we have tuned everything from stock cars to 1,500+hp LS street cars, race cars, twin blown big block race boats to RV's. For years we have worked with Holley and used and supported their EFI systems. We not only tune Holley EFI systems but you can also purchase them directly from us.

So Dan sent me a stock CV8Z tune (my car). Iteresting stuff comparing it to a Clubbie and a GTS. What puzzles me is the Cv8Z tune data shows the Auto box to be 4L60E?!? I'm quite certain the car has the tougher 4L65E.any comments?
There are some things HPT does better than EFI and some things EFI does better than HPT. Search around. Theres a comparo on ls1tech somewhere. For the home tuner though, either will provide more than you could possibly need, as well as years of learning. Now if you want earlier than 98, check out AEM.

The basic charge to machine, stress relieve, install the sleeves, and deck the block is $1,175. Add in $100 to bore the block to within honing range and another $75 if you want the notches cut for rod clearance. The sleeves retail right around $1,300 and when you add it all up, you’re at $2,650 for parts and labor. Of course, you have to factor in the cost of the block, but good used donors can be found for around $400 (give or take). That means the total for a big-bore aluminum small-block would be a hair over $3,000. Not cheap, but very competitive to the aftermarket LS blocks that are currently available.
