I have the Corsa with stainless works and catless on 10 lbs of boost. It's godly loud. But corsa did well with the muffler design and placement. So still no drone.

Installed over the weekend. Still a few loose ends to tie up before a full blown test. Pun intended.

I'm not worried about warranty. Id rather build it my way. If i blow an engine, just a great excuse to pull it and build it back bulletproof. And still cheaper than callaway/hennessey. To each their own tho.

 

HP tuners ecm is on the way. Ill probably get the Whipple on in the next few weeks. 

You sent HP Tuners a new ECM and kept your original, right?  What did you do to the ECM prior to shipping it to them?  Their instructions refer to performing the Replace ECM Function in VCM Scanner for the stock ECM.  Was this something you needed to do to the new ECM you sent them?

nt them?

I sent HP the new ecm. You have to give them your VIN. They unlock it and send back. Nothing needs to be done on the ecm before sending. Its an exchange, you dont get the exact one you send them back anyways. To finish the process, once you get the ecm back, you use the vcm scanner, download the info off the stock ecm, peform the physical swap, and re-upload.

Thank you, that is what I thought but just wanted to ask anyway.

Does anyone have any custom tuning they would be willing to share? Whipple and ProCharger supply a canned tune, but they are limited/minimal to stay within emissions regs. Obviously a tune is specific to vehicle, just figured it may be worth an ask and more discussion. May even need a new post instead of under this one.

Having a shared file for your truck would not be a good idea. You really need to get a tune done at a shop to make sure your good to go.

This might be a dumb question... Should I have the Chevy dealer use my tablet to do the tuning with the HP Tuners software loaded on it to make sure I retain ownership of the credits and the tune? Or, does that really matter?

Looking good!  Give us a full report once you get her on the road. 

The 6.2 is pretty awesome naturally aspirated. I had high expectations, and Whipple didnt let me down. The power is pretty crazy, especially in a 4 door pickup. No check engine lights, leaks, or issues whatsoever.

 

Id say what impresses me just as much as a full throttle pull, is the torque at lower rpms. On the first run, i idled around the neighborhood and barely had to touch the throttle.

 

Haven't got used to the trans yet. Seemed like it wasnt sure which gear it wanted. Punching it from a 20mph or so roll and she seemed to hesitate on which gear to grab. I havent heard much about tuning the trans yet, but i can see the value of dialing it in. As is will take some getting used to.

Its pretty crazy how many wire harnesses, coolant lines, etc are crammed into the engine bay. I organized mine best i could, but theres just a lot in there.

 

Going to add a couple more lines with a catch can too.

 

Anyone mess with the trans tuning yet?

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
