Once you get your engine up and running you can also edit other things like the timing and fuel curves (similar to re-jetting your carb and adjusting your distributor for the old schoolers). Additionally, if you run an electronically controlled tranny (ie 4L60E) you can change the shift parameters.
Very usefull tool. But, be careful because if you don't know what you're doing you can blow up your engine or ECM.
Also, this program allows you to monitor all of the sensors the engine is putting out, check and clear Check Engine Lights (DTCs) etc. |
That is correct. I've been using Hptuner for a few years now tuning both of our 4th gen camaro's. Not just the tuning but this software is a must have for any diagnostic repair work needed.
In my opinion if you own a computer controlled vehicle then tuning software is a must have. Should have been included with the purchase of the car
That's one reason the LS swap is in the works for our blazer, I already have the tuning software.
Thanks Thealien for all the info, when I get some more time I'll definately look through it all.
