They have factory tunes in the hptuners repository, just an fyi if you didn't know.... Not trying to sound like a Di**. I just read what I replied. How close are you to firing up that beast? Do you have access to a dyno?

Has nothing to do with getting a factory tune. When you replace the TECM it needs a VIN programmed at a Dealer or someone with a very expensive scan tool... From my understanding HP Tuners is not capable.

Still working on the tune as we speak but it runs and drives GREAT!!! This thing handles amazing from my initial tests and the brakes are way way better than before. I will get a video of driving and other run activities soon but need to get the tune nailed in first, I was busy looking at HP Tuners data while driving to record at the same time. Had issues with MAP wiring at first so took a few tries to get started, also had a dead battery.... Oh well, it runs!!!

1st Start

2nd Start

3rd Start - Actually running decent lol

Exhaust Clip

I am doing a more complex tune vs just using MAF only so it will take a day or two to get correct. Still drives great... No leaks except an O Ring on the intercooler lid and EVERYTHING was touched on this truck during this build. Amazing how it finally came together. Will get more pics and videos up soon...

Intercooler Pump Installed... Bosch unit with a cheap $10 fuel pump clamp. Turned out nice, still enough room above it for an ice box or reservoir

Lower grill I have to match in black just needs to be installed. Bug shield is coming off to get painted or just replace with a black one. Top strip above black grill will be painted to match and I have the original body color mirror covers from the first owner. He added all the chrome lol... Even bought a Tahoe rear bumper step in all black to replace the cracked chrome one. Most everything else will be removed or blacked out. I have some custom "Supercharged LSA" fender emblems coming soon too

Looking good. Love that exhaust sound! What was all the smoke from?
Thanks... New headers and maybe some oil/coolant at the end. No other fluid or exhaust leaks and no more smoking. That was literally the first start.
