So an update... I got the car dyno tuned, the tuner claimed that on his dyno l83 with a CAI, header and full exhaust with a serious tune got 295-300whp (again their dyno reading was like this). I ended up getting 345.1whp and 420 torque... Now the issue I have is a misfire at 4200 to 5200 rpm... new sparkplugs, wiring, fuel injectors serviced... everything has been ruled out, we increased the transmission oil pressure too to rule that out, same issues.. Don't know what seems to be the problem.

So update...

The transmission oil was low as I had the oil transmission cooler installed. The garage had set the right amount when they installed it, but I guess they didnt run it enough to top it off... It was off by 1 liter, so got lucky...

 

If I were to upgrade to add more HP, what would you guys suggest? maybe 50whp more. No supercharger or turbos though.

interesting.. I'm curious as to what the base run looks like , to compare the losses.  I'm guessing your using 1-7/8" long tubes headers, cause that torque curve just looks sad, your usuable torque window is roughly 1500 rpm!  : (

my stock truck makes 320hp at the flywheel all i have is a resonator delete on the intake and i wired open the muffler flap, running 91 octane and a 180 t-stat

 

I would upgrade to the Doug THorly Tri-Y headers smaller primaries 1-5/8" and catless exhaust, BTR stage 2 cam maybe play with the VVT for more low end grunt, it's a truck and they need torque to move their heavy asses, corvette camaros can get away with making high rpm power cause they're light weight

your misfire  might just be the Torque management cutting in and disabling the power to the ground. on test for this is to get your HPtuners  software  installed and list all the transmission PIDS  in a graph, if your holding a gear and not shifting Torque Mngmnt should not show any spikes on the graph. I have a feeling TM is taking away all your smoke your trying to lay to the ground.. 

 

also if you increasing the trans line pressure you need to install the larger boost valve in the pump housing and a few other mods . stock trans should be fine up to 550hp.

i think you need to try taking off 20% detune your TM

I don't know if you did it, but there is a fairly specific procedure in your owners manual describing how to do it, after getting the transmission fluid to the correct temperature range.

i'm sure you had enough fluid otherwise it wouldn't of put down any contact with the dyno.

 

another PID you should data log is the Throttle body, and throttle pedal, you want to see what your telling the throttle to do is just what the computer is "Commanding" the Thottle to do.  once you exceed stock power these two  will not be on the same page... not too mention TM needs to also be analyzed

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
