Hey, guys. I need a little help. I've ordered a cam and a TC, but I have no idea how to tune for either of these, especially the cam. I'd like to get a fairly close tune together and ready before I install the parts because the truck is somewhat of a daily driver and I can't afford for it not to be useable. If possible, could an experienced tuner help me out? I'd love to buy a mail-order tune, but all on here use EFI Live and I've got HP Tuners. I'd appreciate any help, or even info on what I need. Thanks in advance.

BTW, the TC is the trailblazer TC and the cam is 220/224 .575" lift on 112 LSA.

 

So you have HPTuners now? What have you changed so far?

 

do you have a wide band? have you read the mountains of write ups on hp tuners forums about tuning for cams? your torque converter isnt gonna be a big problem. just set your tcc duty cycle max to 99 and min to 90, you might change your shift points a lil but, nothing to really keep you from driving it. read the write ups here and on hp tuners

 

i've been reading some, and no i don't have a wideband yet. i haven't yet swapped the cam b/c i want to know that i can get this thing tuned fair and running so i can still drive it to work. i guess i need to do some more reading. thanks.

 

alot of the sponsers use HPT I have efilive and think its about 50/50 on the software they use. I know nelson, wheatly, and I want to say someone else is using HPT.

 

you are really gonna need to log before you get it down really good. you might have to 2 foot it for a little while (hold the gas pedal while braking) until you get the tune ironed out. there is definitely a learning curve to it so, dont get discouraged. you'll get it.

read these thoroughly before starting. also, use the help section in the vcm editor.
