The timing curves match each other, that is not good because the computer could never pull timing if it knocked. Also one should never set the minimum spark table to only 4-6 degrees less than commanded timing at full throttle. You need the computer to pull timing way back to help the transmission complete the shifts safely. I'm not saying it has to go way negative like the stock tables do but at least back to 0 degrees.

I'd honestly revert the torque mngt tables back to stock as well, no need to max out all those tables. A very very important thing with a GEN 5 is the peak torque table, that table needs to somewhat match some of the values you log in the scanner. Things like engine torque, predicted torque etc etc. Overly inflating the values in the table can cause weird issues. Being that this truck is mainly stock with just exhaust, I'd probably only bump the table 5-10% max and be watching my scanner pids to see where my numbers are and make sure they are very similar.

I find it odd that the power enrichment EQ ratio is leaner than the alcohol EQ ratio, usually it's the other way around. If going by AFR terms I am commanding 12.3-12.5 with pump gas and 12.7-12.9 with roughly E70 in my area.


The transmission tune could be way better. There are far better ways to make it shift than just smacking the shift pressure with 120psi and reducing the shift torque factor by half.

I take a far different approach with lowering the shift times to .3000s, bump shift pressure by 5-15%, adjusting the on-coming pressure presets and making adjustments to the torque converter lock up. I disabled the TCC in gears 1-4 as well.

Side question: What does a basic HP Tuners computer setup cost to allow remote tuning and some tuning myself? My 2014 could have some tweaking but I would also like to learn. I have a 96 that's getting a 5.3 turbo setup and it would be cool to learn how to at least build a start up tune.

Go to their website and download it, watch some youtube videos, visit the HPTuners forum and download some tunes to play around with. Once you get an idea of what you're looking at and what the different tables do you'll have a basic grasp.

Now for buying the interface you've got a couple options. The new MVPI2 is pretty nice its $299, its bluetooth so you'll need a newer laptop to use it. The older MVPI's are still great too. I've got the pro version which lets me log a wideband but there are workarounds to logging a wideband with the standard version too. You can pick up a used one with a few credits for around $150-300.
