Re: HP Tuners VCM Suite
Ok, I'm gathering stuff right now for a MS to use on my car. So no worries there Scott, hope to see you in lima in a couple weeks
as far as this tuner is concerned I was thinking about it for the shop. this week a 72 GMC came in to have the transmission rebuilt. It had a corvette ls1 with a 4l60e trans. The motor was freshly rebuilt & cammed but was not tuned at all. after the rebuild on the transmission we had to go back in to try and firm it up as it was showing around a 3 second shift time on the 1-2 at part throttle (although it was OK at WOT showing sub 1 second shift times). The best part throttle we could get was a 2.0 1-2 shift at part throttle, with the 3500 stall it felt pretty sluggish
I was wondering if this would be a good tuner to use to tune the transmission behavior and maybe retune the motor while I was at it.
Then yesterday a very nice 68 camaro was dropped off that also had corvette ls1 in it that was not shifting at WOT, hitting the rev limiter at 7k on the 1-2 & 2-3 shifts, neither one of these are race cars, but nice drivers that need to run good (get a close tune on them, don't need to squeeze out every last HP per say, ie the truck was a frame off with everything including the frame painted chevy orange) and I would like to be able to offer to tune them if needed as it seems like this swap is becoming more and more common. I did get some crappy walk around vids I'll post soon.
