Basic PCM tuning to get you started on your LS swap

I have done a lot of these swaps and do all my own tuning. I use HP Tuners with a benchtop harness to shut off VATS, adjust torque management, set tire size and shift points, adjust fan settings, fatten up for cold air intake/headers, etc.. Let me know if you need this done. I will only charge what it costs me for my credits to do this as I am just trying to get unlimited access on GEN III's and you have to tune a lot of them to achieve this. PM me if needed.

Re: Basic PCM tuning to get you started on your LS swap

Unless you batched up a bunch of requests (like 50) and did an "All model year X", how could you even leverage this?

Having your HPTuners licensed to 50 different VINs doesn't help you, so I'm not sure what you're after. Just curious! I've got a bunch of individual VINs licensed on mine from having tuned/fixed other folks' cars, thought maybe you've got a better way!

But you likely do need to be a vendor to do it...

You can apply existing HPT licenses toward a model year or unlimited license at a reduced rate. IIRC, the rate is 0.75. For example, if a model year license was 6 credits, you can trade 8 credits for it if those 8 credits were already licensed to VINs for the model license to which you want to upgrade.

What he said. Not trying to sell anything for a profit, just trying to help guys out with basic vats removal, etc to get there swaps done. Not interested in making a dime off anyone. Why would I need to be a vendor for this?

Re: Basic PCM tuning to get you started on your LS swap

Any offer for a service, or parts (with the exception of the "pay it forward" areas) technically requires a Premium membership, not being a vendor.

Re: Basic PCM tuning to get you started on your LS swap

If he's offering to do it at cost (ie: the cost of the VIN license for the box) is it still a commercial venture? Some would say yes, I don't know myself. Up to the mods!

You'd save 25% by just buying the Gen III package outright now, and then you could sell your tunes instead and make some money.

Yeah, if you have an extra $1500 bucks laying around to throw at it.
