Any word on a possible group purchase? I know Bado6ss, Fast06SS, I(Enufpwr) and a bunch of others will be purchasing this as soon as it is released.

 

I already own HPTuners software and cable. It will be just a credit add for me

 

How is the Beta release Fast06SS, showing noticable gains/progress with HPtuners?

 

And also, will this add on to the intense stage 3 kit, or take the place of the maf-t or what I know about engines and operation, but this is way newer technology than I am used to (read as "old school")

 

Fast06ss did you have the cable and software when you pull a 12.94?

 

I don't have the Cobalt software yet. I wish !!!!! I have a big race to go to this friday night so if HPT comes thru i may be breaking some records this friday with my new software!!

The 12.9 was on stock tune!

 

It's good to see a new vendor... especially one that has broken into the comp... welcome hp tuners

 

The Cobalt family actually has 3 different PCM's depending on which engine you have. Some even have a TCM (transmission control module as well). In time we will try to support them but there's no guarantee until we investigate them fully.

Ok,

A friend and I are each going to purchase the HPTuners. We both have RED 2005 Ion Redlines. He has the GM reflash. Will he be able to offload that file, send it to me using his software, then send it to me and I will flash my computer with it wth my software. Will this work? If not...how will I make it work?

Thanks,

Dan

 

This is great news I can't wait for the release.

Right now you have 2 choices:

1. use 6 credits and choose the 2005 Redline year/model license when you read your vehicle.
2. get him to send you his file and use our file compare feature to compare the changes. Them simply copy/paste the tables over.

My advice is use those calibrations as a guide only, there is no way they will be delivering maximum performance. Every engine is different and in boosted applications it's even more critical. On LS1 V8's i've put exactly the same tunes in two identical cars and got two differnt results. I've owned a s/c'd LS1 for 2 years now and tuned a hell of lot of them and it's amazing how different tunes can turn out for what you think is an identical setup. My guess is the factory tunes are agressive down low and mid rpm to give that great seat of the pants feel, but then get conservative up top to prevent guys sending back 4 busted pistons and a torched head gasket

Once you guys get familiar with the various fuel and knock retard histograms (and the audible sound of knock) you will learn to find the optimum timing and fueling for your combo very quickly.

Hope that helps,

Chris...

 

I mean its a GM tune so of course i figure its on the safe side its just already got values for the increased redline and the injectors im running so i dont need the maf-t any more. I'd use it as a guide and I already have a wideband O2 installed in the car so I should have everything I need to tune it correct?

Thanks,

Dan

 

Chris welcome to our wonderful community.
and it's about time, lol
now I should be able to tune for my cams.

I have two questions.

1. For the Year/Model license does that mean if I get 2005/CobaltSS that I won't be able to tune a 2006, 0r 2007 ( I just need to clarify that one )

2. Do you know of any literature that we can purchase to help some of use less expierianced tuners, so we don't destroy are cars. ( tips and trips, do's and do not's)
something that would give someone a good base so they can start tuning with more confidense.

thanks and I can't wait to start

 

1. correct, to tune other years you have to license them. ie. to have unlimited tuning for 04-06 Cobalt and Redline you would need 30 credits (5 x 6).

2. nothing much is available. The best source i know of is our help files and forum. There are generic efi training courses you can do and books available but they are very non-specific.

thanks for the info chris

 

HPTuner

Not sure if this was asked but do you support the 2.4? If so what do i need?

 

Not yet, we are investigating it for a future release. I can't put a date on it yet.

Chris...

 

Thats because you are working on the E16 ECM for the L61 engines first, right!?!?!

 

do you need tunning for camshafts? is this available with hp tunners?
