You are now ready to send us your vehicles Stock Tune File, so we can build your Startup Tune File.
1) Read Vehicles Tune File
- Connect MPVI-2 to OBD2 port, and to PC
- Turn vehicle ignition to On
- Vehicles with keys – turn two clicks
- Vehicles with push button start – hold start button without foot on brake for around 5 seconds – until gauges light up
- Open VCM Editor (Beta)
- Press “Read Vehicle” button
- Press “Gather Info” button
- Select / Deselect Required Modules
- Select “Read”
- Save Tune File with a name and location that you will remember
2) Email Vehicle Tune File
- Locate where you saved your Tune File that you just read out of the car
- Email this Tune File to [email protected] with a mod list, fuel type, and general usage of vehicle
Remote Tuning 101: Flashing Tune Files
At this point – you’ve read the stock tune file out of your car, and have emailed it to us. We will return to you a modified tune file (sometimes called a startup tune). This tune file is designed to get your vehicle started and running safely – but we still want to make some changes to optimize both performance and drivability.
Flash Tune File to Vehicle
- Save Modified Tune File to “Documents > HP Tuners > Logs and Tunes”
- Connect MPVI-2 to OBD2 port, and to PC
- Turn vehicle ignition to On
- Vehicles with keys – turn two clicks
- Vehicles with push button start – hold start button without foot on brake for around 5 seconds – until gauges light up
- Open VCM Editor (Beta)
- Select “Open” icon in VCM Editor (first icon in menu bar – looks like folder)
- Navigate to where you saved the Modified Tune File (“”Documents > HP Tuners > Logs and Tunes”), select the Modified Tune File, and press “Open”
- Select the “Write Vehicle” icon from the top menu bar of VCM Editor
- Select / Deselect Required Modules
- Select “Write”
- Cycle Ignition Off and then back On
Remote Tuning 101: Data Logging
You’ve made it to the final step of the learning process. You are basically a remote tuning ninja at his point. You have now flashed a Modified Tune File into your vehicle, but now we need to gather some data to determine what changes to make to optimize both power and drivability. We call this the Data Log.
1) Setting up VCM Scanner
- Open VCM Scanner
- Download Channel Configuration File
- Save the .XML file to “Documents > HP Tuners > VCM Scanner > Channel Configs” folder
- Download Dashboard Layout File
- Save the .XML file to “Documents > HP Tuners > VCM Scanner > Layouts”
- Select “Open Channel Config” and select the Channel Configuration File you just saved here
- Select “Open Layout” and select Dashboard Layout File you just saved here
2) Recording a Data Log

- Turn vehicle ignition to On
- Vehicles with keys – turn two clicks
- Vehicles with push button start – hold start button without foot on brake for around 5 seconds – until gauges light up
- Open VCM Scanner
- Select “Connect to Vehicle” button (blue car icon in top menu of VCM scanner)
- Select “Start Scanning” (red record button in top menu of VCM scanner)
- Start vehicle
- Drive around for 10-15 minutes of normal driving with a couple of short full throttle pulls, will do more full throttle pulls later when we are comfortable with the tune
- When complete with 10-15 minute drive, select the “Stop Scanning” button (blue square icon in to menu of VCM Scanner)
- Turn vehicle off
- Select “Log File > Save Log File As” and save Log File to “Documents > HP Tuners > VCM Scanner > Logs and Tunes
- Select “Disconnect from Vehicle”
3) Emailing a Data Log
- Reply back to the previous email we send with your Modified Tune and attach this Data Log File.
- List any drivability issues, or concerns you have in the email.
Remote Tuning 101: What's Next?
That is it! You’ve done all the hard work. From this point we will go back and forth with email communication. We will send you revised Tune Files to flash, and you will send us new Data Logs.
On more simple bolt on setups, we can normally dial in a tune within a few revisions. On a more complex head / cam setup – it might take 5 or more to get it dialed in perfectly.

I currently have a custom 87 octane tune on my 2014 Silverado 5.3 from Lew. But the truck still seems to be lacking, especially in transmission shift stand points. Would going to HP tuners and having it custom tuned be better or would I not feel any difference? Current mods are L86 intake manifold, Katech throttle body, AFE intake with dry filter. Future mods would be shorty 1 3/4" headers.

Looking to tune with y’all soon and I have : Headers, flex fuel sensor , and rotofab CAI. I already have wideband and mpvi2 ready to go once I get all these mods installed on car. Question is and only thing stopping me is: Am I risking anything from going south with these mods ? I do not dog the car all the time it’s usually my daily driver and I just drive it like a grandma to church on Sunday , but every now and then I’ll give her a nice WOT for the fun of it. Looking to install mods more for the self enjoyment and just want a little more louder and peppier car . Don’t really care about being the fastest around town just want it to be realiable!

I highly recommend doing business with GPI. Not only do they provide awesome customer service, they are fast to respond. I did a lot of research on GM performance shops & tuners prior to choosing GPI. Even though I am not 100% complete with my remote tuning process, I have already installed the “base” tune. The process was very easy and the tuning is awesome!!! I look forward to doing much more business with GPI in the near future!
quick responses and awesome results!
Have purchased Cam kits from GPI so only makes sense to have them tune the products
Couldn’t ask for better results! I went from an 11.33 at 121mph to 10.87 at 124mph with tune being the only change. Manual car at that!
Very prompt on everything I love it and have Recommended you guys to all of my friends
