Just received my time slot for next week... Very excited to say the least!
To keep from overwhelming Justin with questions during the tune, figured I'd ask them here and perhaps another newbie may be able to benefit from them as well.
- Can I receive more than one program stored in the AutoCal? Such as; one for sport, one for economy, and perhaps one for the zombie apocalypse? Everything you need will all be addressed on one tune, gains, tune changes, and so on. You will not have to change tunes on the fly. Once you program your tune file in you are good to go.
- I've seen where the Tow/Haul button can be made to do extra special things, what's that all about? On 4 speed vehicles only we are able to change the tow haul mode to a sport mode with more aggressive shift patterns. It's not recommended for towing.
- Way back in the day, I had a HyperTech programmer for an old Jeep Wranger. It had a program for each grade of gas. Are there any recommendation as to what octane fuel I should come filled up with, what gets the biggest bang for the buck? My Tahoe is a weekend vehicle, so... keeping it fed with 93 isn't that big of an issue should there be a pay off. As long as you are running 89 octane or higher that would be fine for your vehicle. It is a good idea to show up with the octane you would like to be tuned for. If you are purchasing the AutoCal with the in person tune we can provide separate octane tune files 89/87 and 91+.
- Can you turn off the CanBUS system so that my LED turn indicators won't need resistors, those little bastards get HOT! 09 L9H is correct we would not be able to do anything with that.
- I don't believe that my 2009 Tahoe LS 4.8L has Active Fuel Management (AFM) but, if it does, will disabling it require a new cam shaft or other valve train modifications? If you have AFM we can disable it, nothing else would be required on your end.
- If I add an OEM option to my Tahoe that requires the dealer flash the "computer" in order to active it, like when I added OEM remote start, what steps would be involved in making that a smooth addition? I'm guessing (and "guessing" is very generous of a word here), pull the BBP program with the AutoCal, get the flash, save a copy of that, send both to you all, and get a modified BBP program to install? Correct, anytime you have the vehicle software updated we will have you read out the tune files and email to us, and we will update the tune to include the vehicle update.
Yeah, I know that's a lot... I just want to make sure to ask all the right questions in advance, and have a much information ready to roll as possible so that I don't go full blown ADHD on Justin and take up too much of his time when we go out for our tuning ride.
...again, very excited to say the least.
Thank you for coming to Atlanta!!!
