    This thread is going to be dedicated to learning how to use hptuners. Now be aware you can blow up your are if you make changes to drastically. Tuning your car is your own responsibility, if you have questions ask, its easier to take a few min to ask a question than destroy your engine.

    First we will need to read your stock pcm. To do this open up the VCM editor program and click read vcm.


    After you read the pcm follow the licensing instructions and then save the file as stock of what ever you want it to be called. After the file is saved open up the file and we can begin the retuning process.

    First step is to get the view set up in the tuner so you can view all tables. The program is set up at first so you can only view some tables. We want to see them all.


    After we have that changed, we can begin changing some of the basic tables you want. IE torque management speed limiter and tire size.

    Lets start with the speed limiter and fan settings. Speed limiter set to what ever you want. If you have aftermarket wheels and tires with a differnet diameter than stock use an online size calculator to modify the tables in the speedo panel. Gear ratio leave the stock one in unless you have changed them during a trans swap.


    Fan temps Go into system then fans. These are my settings for a 180* thermostat


    Now we will move on to torque management settings. We will start with the engine tables for it go into engine than torque management and start in the general section.

    RPM vs gear table

    Vs gear table

    Vs RPM table


    Spark retard table set to 0 across the board.
    Then injector disable table set to 0 across the board also.

    Abuse table


    Supercharger table


    Now we will be moving into the transmission torque management tables. Go to torque management. In the tables I have boxed sent them all to 0. and that will remove the torque management for the transmission.


    Once you have all that changed resave the file under a different name IE base tune.
