Need Help with tuning!!!!!!

[Texans03SS]

Can someone please help me with tuning my truck. I bought a HP Tuner for my 03 Silverado SS. I can't figure out how to tune the truck with that program. I bought the programmer with a 1 bar speed density tune for a supercharger i am about to put on my truck. I have long tube headers and custom exhaust with cutouts. I also have a cold air intake but am fixin to put the Vortech supercharger meant for the Silverado SS. Can anyone help I am extremely lost.

Go to their forum and read up on some of the basics. I wouldn't use it until you do that. Most people read up on it before they buy, you just need to back up some.

So, you haven't installed the supercharger yet, correct?

 

If not, what you'll want to do is a speed density tune to get your VE table (fueling) set up for the mods you currently have, as headers may impact it quite a bit. Once you have the VE good, you may or may not need to tweak your MAF calibration as well.

 

You can play around with the timing, making small changes at a time and going off of a g-tech or SOTP meter, but the only way to really get a good part throttle timing table set up is to dyno tune it.

 

If you're really interested in learning, check out the classes offered by Ben Strader at http://www.efi101.com/ You'll learn how an EFI system does what it does, and how to tune using that knowledge. I sat in on the second day of one of those classes, and it seemed like a lot of good info.

There is probably tunes out there to get you started also. They will still need some work, but may give you a head start. If you don't have some of the basics you can go to the hpt, ls1tech.com, performancetrucks.net to read up, just to pick a few.

 

Some of it will blow you away. Go to the threads that talk of first things to do or getting started.

 

I started a thread here a while back asking if we could get one of those type here. Many thought it was a good idea, but the guys in the know have yet to start it. Maybe one day.
