01 / WHAT WE DO

A tune starts with
understanding the build.

Tell us what’s under the hood, what’s changed, and how you want it to drive. We’ll discuss the right next step for your setup.

01

GM calibration

LS and Gen V tuning with HP Tuners. Calibration for cam and injector changes, drivability, and transmission behavior.

02

Holley EFI & swaps

Help with Holley EFI setups, engine swaps, startup, idle, and fuel and ignition calibration.

03

Find the actual fault

No-starts, poor running, and combinations that won’t cooperate. Diagnose the underlying problem before chasing the tune.

02 / THE DATA BEHIND THE DRIVE

Log it. Read it.
Change it with purpose.

A calibration is more than changing a few tables. We compare commanded behavior with what the engine and transmission actually report, then make measured changes and verify the result.

DATA LOGREPRESENTATIVE CHANNEL SET
FUELINGLambda / AFR

Commanded versus measured mixture, wideband feedback, short- and long-term fuel trims.

AIRFLOWMAF / VE / MAP

Air mass, manifold pressure, volumetric efficiency, throttle position, and engine load.

COMBUSTIONSpark / Knock

Commanded spark advance, knock retard, cylinder behavior, and misfire information.

FUEL SYSTEMInjector Data

Injector characterization, pulse width, duty cycle, pressure data, and transient fueling.

CONDITIONSIAT / ECT / Oil

Air and coolant temperature, oil pressure when available, battery voltage, and compensations.

DRIVELINEShift / TCC Data

Shift timing, torque management, commanded pressure, gear state, and converter slip.

Available channels vary by ECU, operating system, sensor package, and vehicle configuration.

HPTUNERS

VCM Scanner + VCM Editor
Scanning, diagnostics, calibration, and validation for supported GM applications.

HOLLEY EFI

Holley EFI + Terminator X
Startup, idle, fuel, ignition, driveability, and swap integration.

03 / A REAL DIAGNOSIS

Seven years.
One overlooked seal.

The owner had spent seven years unable to get this supercharged project running. Within an hour of getting involved, we had it running.

The culprit was an injector O-ring inside the blower hat, leaking unmetered fuel into the engine and flooding it. Fixing the fuel leak came first. Tuning followed at our previous California shop.

Good tuning starts with a mechanically sound engine.
Watch the project story

Seven years without running. An injector O-ring inside the blower hat was leaking fuel and flooding the engine. The leak was corrected, the engine ran, and tuning followed at the previous California shop.

04 / HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE
