    Hello my name is mikhail and Ive been working on vehicles my whole life. Ive been running a family repair establishment since 2005. when i had bad vehicle accident in 2018, i started dabbling in the more technical aspects of vehicle repair(oem software electrical diagnosis) and have slowly been dipping my toes into playing around with the performance aspect of the mechanic trade so i can still be of help to my father who refuses to retire.

    Recently i put together a 2350b 2013 Cummins engine with studded heads 30 over injectors 30 over turbo 30 over intake. Im hoping by involving myself in forums so i can find a good tuner to help walk me through adding more power to this engine I put a years worth of savings in

    Hi guys and gals sorry to break the news. I am as new as you can get. But I am willing to learn. I am retired and live up here in the northeast. Ri do be exact. I did my first rebuild on an engine I pulled from a junkyard with some help from other forums. I put that engine a LQ9 in a 2003 S10 in my driveway. I had a friend of a friend do I start up file and some base tuning to get to run. Unfortunately he is very hard to pin down . Which brought me here to learn how to tune yes even at age 61. I look forward to all and any help through this journey

    Name is Hoss,

    I have a 2004 GMC Sierra SLT 8.1 4x4 Crew Cab with Allison.
    I bought "Miss Thirsty" about 7 Years ago as an old work horse for 3k.

    I have been rebuilding her from the ground up since.

    I purchased a brand new high performance Complete Long Block from Larry @ Raylar Engineering.
    My whipple super charger from Larry is in route.
    I have spent about 3 k in Tuners who say they are pro's with The Big Block Vortec 8100.
    Not a one of them has had Larry's motor run at it's full potential yet.
    Another one blew up my Allision Trans and blamed it on poor maintenance when I had it checked out right after at a Trans shop , they said someone had changed parameters and caused the other wise bulletproof Trans to fail.
    Hence , why I am beginning The HpTuners journey to learn from you all. I have realized no one is going to care for my truck like I do.
    So my mouth is shut and my ears are open.
    Blower should show up in the next few weeks . I plan on taking my baby to the gm dealer and returning all values back to oem. Getting her home installing blower and all gauges and components. Then I will be hanging out here and any other HP Tuner courses I can find to hopefully get my rig running at her full potential safely.
    Talk to you all soon!
    Hoss

    Better late than never, but I have been lurking and reading here for a bit when I have the time. I am also brand a$$ new to tuning with HP tuners. I am a good mechanic but that's not my job or what pays the bills. Its just what gives me peace when I'm not swearing pissed or frustrated with Midwest rusted bolts or the mystery bolt still hanging on somewhere.

    Oh yea, my name is Ryan. I am currently playing with and building a 2000 Camaro Z28 6M. Very basic build right now just long tubes, LS6 intake and a bunch of suspension/brake parts for now.

    Im using this car to learn the software while doing MAF then SD tuning. Once I am comfortable with tuning on a stock/bolt on motor I will be adding heads, cam and fuel injectors. Ultimately I would want to add some boost but I will more likely than not sell the Camaro and then start all over on a 99-02 Trans Am. (love those looks)

    Thank you for the knowledge in advance. You have already helped a lot just by letting me read.

    Cheers!

    Hi all,

    New to HP TUNERS AND EFI Tuning. I’ve been reading the forum for a couple of years now, checking out a few things.
    Well I finally bit the bullet and bought HP Tuners MVPI3 with the ProLink cable and a Aeroflow Digital Wideband AFR.
    I have a 2009 Holden VE SS-V Commodore and have put in a mild cam and Pacemaker full system. It already had a Growler intake so now I need to do some tuning.
    Hopefully once I get into I can get some tips and tricks off of you guys.

    Cheers Brett

    Hi,

    My name is John and I'm from Hamilton, Ontario Canada. I am used to tuning the old school Carb/Distributor type engines and have been casually learning how the new systems work. i have a background in robotics and automation so I know a little about coding. I have had a 2013 GT500 Shelby and now a 2021 Mustang GT with a dealer installed Roush stage 2 super charger. There are a couple of things I'd like to tweek. One being the fan thresholds so that they come on sooner and shut of later. I also find, at times, there is a slight flair between the 4th and 5th shift (10R80 auto) on any of the performance drive modes. Its intermittant. Id like to tighten that up a bit. I'll be asking alot of questions. Sorry in advance

    Hello, My name is Reece and I have a 99 Silverado with a LM7 block built for nitrous, previous owner did all the work so I bought HP Tuners to verify and tweak the tune on it. Also my wife is a transmission shop owner/builder. Having HP Tuners helps the shop especially with 6l80's torque converter shudder. Hope to learn and grow as a tuner building the confidence to tune more vehicles.

    Hello everyone my name it Mitch, I am also known as Design Build Drive. I do LS swaps and race a 1986 c10 on a custom home built chassis. I would say a know a bit about LS swaps and stand alone tuning but I still have a lot of holes to fill.
