OK with software like HP is there anything special you need for a forced induction tuning. And my main question , how much time is involved in setting up a good tune. I like the idea of doing it myself but I dont want it to be a second job to get my tune right.
Thanks Jeremy

 

You'll need the enhanced interface and a wideband to get it right when running forced induction. Best thing is to find someone with a similar set-up that will give you their tune, copy it and use it for a base/ start tune and go from there, you'll find that no matter what you'll allways be looking to change something so it's an ever evolving process.

 

Basically you have two choices HPT or EFI Flashscan.
Don't ask which one you should get just use the FORUM SEARCH and make your choice. You can't go wrong with either of them.

I got it because its the only software that will tun the older 305, 350, 454 Vortec trucks.
The tuner/flash hardware is $300 and each definition file is $79.00.

My definition file (OBD2_07) covers the 1996-97 trucks, Tunercats is not VIN locked and you can tune as many trcuks as you want for that $79.00. You dont have to pay for EACH vehicle like you do with others.
There is a scanner/logger with GM enhanced PIDS and WBO2 sensor inputting that is under development as we speak.

Here is the Monodax forum, this is teh company who is developing the scanner/logger which will be called MXScan.
