HP TUNERS is releasing support for the Duramax/Allison . Awesome. I bought HP to help tune my turbocharged Z-71 5.3. But know i'll be able to use it again on the new truck coming!!Should be the same as using EFILIVE .

They are just now only able to support LB7/LLY configurations.

Nothing for the LBZ.

More precisely it is has just been released to Beta and is not available to the general public.

woopty doo.. can they tune the Ally? Didn't think so :D

yes, Allison is supported.

We are in process of becoming a sponsor of this forum so i don't want to get over excited just yet :)

Chris...

Day late and a dollar short.

Everybody is a day late and a dollar short on the LBZs......tell em to get the heck on the stick with them and they might be able to carve a nitche with the LBZs.......otherwise the "in thing" is EFI live and it will be hard to crack that market unless they offer much better features or come out for less $$$. Not a flame but thats just the cold hard truth.

can you adjust the OSS pulses to mph conversion table/PID in teh Allison TCM? Can you adjust grade braking?

we have a tire scaler and other speedo related params for the allison.

grade braking is something i'd have to look into.

Chris...

If you have any specific incidents or have had good or bad experiences with a vendor(supporting or not) please feel free to post the specifics......posting implied references dont realy help the spread of info though. Thanks :)

what can HPTuners do for the duramax that EFILive cant?

Im just curious what makes "one better than the other" or if people just do eenie meenie miny mo when they buy something like this....

How soon before release to general public?

It's ready now. We are just not making an official announcement on our site until we are positive there are no bugs with the scanner or MPVI data logging. If no errors are reported this week, it gets posted on the orders page next week.


Which reminds me, can the owner of this site please contact me so we can move forward with the Forum sponsorship.

Did SuperChips hire some new folk? Last I checked they were kinda short on Gurus. Loved their LS1 product! .79-.81 on the 02's, KR up the arse, etc. Nearly blew up my car. After 3 attempts, they never did get it right. Not real happy with those guys.

I will probably test the HPTuners product in the future, like I've done to most the Dmax tuning products, and give it a honest review. But at this point, EFILive has a huge amount of "vested knowledge" associated with it, and has become the de facto standard for custom Dmax tuning tools.

Would you mind getting to the point here as I am not sure where you are going with this.

MSD bought Superchips, Racepack, Edge and Superchips is our distributor. So to say the least we all talk to each other and can share important info to enhance each others products. You mention SC for the gas motor problem you had but left out any mention of them or Edge in the diesel market. And yes they do have some new members there...

I would hazard to guess your less than warm welcome has something to do with being an EFI Live distributor. As for being "late to the party", EFI Live is as late to the LS2/7 scene as we were to the Duramax. Are you going to tell them don't bother? After all HP Tuners already has a 2.5 bar OS mod for the LS2.

As HP Tuners provides front line support to the largest aftermarket OEM providers thought the world, the changes to the V8 platform had to come before a new product. We do not want our biggest customers selling pots and pans instead of blower and turbo kits. The diesel market will be no different for us.

We also added full support for the I4,I5,I6 lines for previous commitments to these and other folks. Try not to make it sound like we have been sitting around doing nothing. Now that we are supporting the Duramax, we welcome your honest review. Customer feedback is what drives our product line.

Loved the Superchips on my Passat G-60 syncro:ro) AWD and a nice boost to performance! Fuel and IGNIt mapping were spot on perfect, the pulley was hard anodized and perfect! And this was on CIS-E which is hard to work on, unlike Motoronic systems.

I had great experience with Superchips on my gasser.:ro)

well I have tuned my GTO with HP tuners and a couple of other GTO's. My bud uses it on his super charged grand prix as well. Very nice product, lots of product lines available, and have had great customer support when it was needed.

I will be buying the licenses to set this up for my truck to tune as well.

EFI has had great reviews and seems to be a great product as well. I already have a investment in HP tuners and I won't have to spend a huge amount to get restarted on another product I already know.

No, not suggesting they "don't bother", or I wouldn't have contacted you folk way back when to see if you'd support Dmaxes. Nor is any scepticism based on that I sell EFILive and custom tuning. I'm one of the diesel enthusiasts who has spent $$$ testing various performance products, and I run what's fast regardless of the name on the box.

And you'll never hear me say anything harse about Edge Products, as they have a very good product with excellent customer service. Yes, I did beta testing for them for the LLY's, and still own a couple of their products.

SuperChips? Not impressed yet. I will be honest that I did not test their diesel tuner personally, as I have $500 SuperChips tuner that didn't work on my car and is not returnable. But other folk have tested it and it's apparently "ok" at best. They do not appear to be real serious about diesel performance.

What's this 2.5 Bar stuff? ;) We are running 32PSI boost on 100% stock trucks!

But anyhow, welcome to the board, sorry if I think you guys are coming a bit late to the party, but we are very very appreciative that Ross and Blacky worked so hard to help us out when nobody else seemed to care.

:grd:

Comparing the LS2 to the Duramax is a bit odd, but the Dmaxes have been out 6 years, and you aren't exactly going to tune a C6 up 250rwhp from stock by tuning alone. Not to mention there are a heck of lot more Duramaxes out there than C6's.

Wow, this thread brought out some Opinions! I was excited to hear I could use my investment of HP tuners to tune my Turbo gas truck as well as to tune my new Diesel on order. This will save me some money. The more players in the game the better results for us. I hope this will be a great tool for my new duramax.

Well just sent my stuff for the update, should be tuning hopefully by the weekend.

Jon

The bar has been set mighty high for Duramax capabilities...

Even if the competition has been set high, competition allows the end user to benefit as the two vendors will continue to advance their products and we will be the ones that get to enjoy that.

Nothing wrong with that at all.

Jon

Never said there was. You can bet I'll be investigating the capabilities of the HP system soon. They just have a tough act to follow...

Here's a IDEA ! :rolleyes: Why not wait and see what it does and how it performs first, before giving a opinion on what it can do. ;)

Efi may have been first but does that mean its the only and the best????


The first car ever made was great ; However, they have evolved along way too. ;)

Lets wait and see. :D


How much for the tuner package! and will it only tune one vehicle!

What's this 2.5 Bar stuff? ;) We are running 32PSI boost on 100% stock trucks!



Yeah I know. Which is exactly why I can't wait to get my hands dirty on a project like that. Don't get me wrong, I'm in for anything that can go fast.

Welcome aboard. I already have EFILive, so chances are, I will not buy your product, but that does not mean EFI is better then yours, just that I bought to soon to have a choice. Good luck, and hopefully you will sale well here.:ro)

Ok......I appologize and I think that weather they become a vendor or not would have been worked out much quicker if somebody;) wasnt on vacation. We appologize as the grey area and confusion is mostly our fault. We would appreciate if HP tuners would hold off on any specific talks of thier product with price and all that fun biz untill Nick can get a chance to get back with you.

Now, I think we all agree that more players is only better for us end users since competition means a better product! Hopefully it will become a race to see who gets the LBZ's done first, screw the LLY's and the LB7's ;) ):h

Discussing experiences you have had with a product(weather they are a vendor or not is ok) but stick to specific inncidents and dont take it personal.

This topic has run its course since the only ones that can realy comment on the particulars of the product since it hasnt came out yet is the manufacturers and since we havent sorted out the vendor stuff yet;) We will reopen when tempers have cooled and vendor stuff is ironed out......even if hp tuners dosnt become supporting vendors the discussion of thier product by our members is more than welcome......hp tunners just cant participate on a level that a supporting vendor could with thier product. :)

Opened up :)

Oh......and did I mention screw the LLY and LB7? :D

Oh......and did I mention screw the LLY and LB7? :D

Subtle, very subtle....:funnypost

What can i say? I'm biased ):h

Yes, an LBZ version would get alot of traffic.

Oh......and did I mention screw the LLY and LB7? :D

Noted and recorded.

LB7 envy is a hard thing to deal with. Keep going to the meetings Phil, I'm sure it will get easier as time goes by. ):h

I recommend you abstain from alcohol and sex until you can sort out your true feelings for members of the opposite engine code.

:lol:

OWN3D!

It will only mean good things to LLY, LB7 & LBZ guys to have more competition in a market that has had only one option as far as a true custom programmer is concerned. You'll see hptuners brings a top rate product to the table at a very affordable price with many options for its users.

Getting a program out for the LBZ before the compitition would be a good way to get your foot in the door.:D

you can bet there will be a rat race to that finish line.

Sorry to throw you to the wolves Phil, but its the first real 4 day vacation i've had in a long time.):h I am happy to welcome HP Tuners as the newest vendor here. I'm a firm believer that competition is good for the customers so lets give them a warm welcome!

I'm closing this as they now have their own support forum and discussion of their products belong here:
