Hypertech Tune Questions

[flyin99]

Agree........custom tunes are "the best", but Hypertech works well on mine, also. Especially in the transmission area.

I have also heard great things of blackbear. I guess I'm just impatient. As for the hypertech, it will allow tire size change and a little performance upgrade?

Go to page one of this thread, answers are there.

Been there done that. Conflicting reports from phone conversations with distributors, forums, and dealerships is why a simple yes or no is all I'm searching toward.

Like I said earlier in this thread and in the tune thread, it works very good trans shifts better and as hard as you want it, tire size change yes, rear gear change yes, performance better yes. Is black bear better, according to people who use them yes. Am I happy with Hypertech, very.

I have no doubt blackbear is a better product, but I feel hypertech will satisfy my needs. I was referring to conflicting reports such as 4 wheel parts telling me it won't allow for tire size changes. I should of learn my lesson dealing with those idiots. Anyways, thanks for the reassuring facts. I wanted to verify with those who use the product and not just sell it. Thanks!

When possibly ordering, 4 wheel parts tells me part #32501 won't fit my 2014 5.3 That is the correct part number?

[flyin99]

32501 is the one you want, yes.

So I have a 6” lifted with 35” tires on my 2018 Silverado 1500 with a 6.2. Just installed my Max Energy 2.0 programmer. I have a K&N CAI as well. Can anyone guide me on what tunes to go with or what to stay away from with this programmer based on those facts? I’ve updated my programmer but it didn’t give me a option to clarify that I had a CAI. I did adjust my tire size for the speedo, the TPMS, deleted the V4 and the top speed limiter and I selected the regular tuning. Didn’t really want to mess with shift points nor did my programmer give me the option to do so. Any one have any suggestions or ideas that I should look at? Wanting performance when I need it, not wear anything out and if possible alittle better fuel mileage, but i realize I can’t have my cake and eat it too.

The CAI doesn't require anything special to be done, that's why it doesn't ask you anything about it.

 

Your 6.2 has an 8 speed auto, there is no way to calibrate the transmission settings without an unlocked TCM. You'd need a completely differnet tuner to do that as HP Tuners is the only place that offers that type of unlock service. Your hypertech is just going to be a canned tune for the engine computer.

 

That's about all I can say because I don't know that product very well. But I can say good luck getting fuel mileage back, you've done too much to ruin that with the lift/tires/unchanged gearing and aero reduction.
