All tuning at Gwatney Performance Innovation is performed by one of our calibration experts. Â We have tuned literally thousands of LSx / LTx based cars that range from stock and basic bolt-on cars, to 1000+ rwhp turbo and supercharged builds. Having tuned many record-setting cars, we have the knowledge and experience to fine-tune your car into a smooth and powerful combination. Â We also perform hundreds of Remote and Mail Order tunes each year.
We specialize in late model GM Performance cars and trucks. All of our tunes are designed not only to make great power, but to deliver unsurpassed drivability. Whether you are looking to make the most power, get increased fuel economy, or just change the way your vehicle’s transmission shifts, we can handle all of your needs from completely stock vehicles to highly modified all-out race cars.
We tune with the best equipment available to deliver a OEM quality tune. We are equipped with lab quality wide band O2 sensors and full dataloging software. Data does not lie, that is why we use the very best in data acquisition.
Please note, Remote Tuning is only available for naturally aspirated builds. We are not currently offering remote tuning for power adders.
***In order to complete a trans tune on 2017+ vehicles, you will be responsible for sending your Transmission Control Module to HP Tuners to be unlocked. This must be completed and reinstalled prior to the tune.
At Gwatney Performance, we have always tried to streamline the pain points of modifying your vehicle. Our goal (seeming ever far reaching) is to simplify this process as much as we can, while offering industry leading support along the way. Â
We’ve want to provide a complete solution for our customers – from bolt on, cam / head install packages, forced induction builds, and machine work. Tuning is a critical step throughout this entire process. Although some builds will require a dyno (the big forced induction / nitrous builds) – almost everything else can be done remotely with minimal downtime.
We know the majority of our customers don’t have easy access to dyno facilities (and often times even knowledgeable tuners that are willing to stand behind their work). Â
We started doing remote tunes years ago, and in the beginning we were able to manage the process to our high standards, but recently – the dramatic increase in volume became an overwhelming task for us (to the point that we actually discontinued the service – as the MANY of you that reached out realized).Â
Because there are so many steps in the process (not necessarily hard – just a lot) – we were spending more and more time walking our customers through the Setup & Configuration process, and much less time getting to do the actual tuning. Â
We are relaunching our Remote Tuning program today with a Complete Remote Tuning Guide that aims to streamline this setup process. If you have remote tuning questions – they are probably answered here. From unboxing and setting up your HP Tuners MPVI-2 hardware to Data Logging, we’ve got you covered at every step along the way. Let’s get started!
Remote Tuning 101: Getting Started
So you’ve ordered your Remote Tune Package from us, and just received your package in the mail that includes your HP Tuners MPVI-2 hardware? Let’s get started.
1) Unbox HP Tuners
- The package includes: MPVI-2 Interface, USB cable, Flash Drive (with software preinstalled), Getting Started Guide, and HP Tuners decals
- Take the MPVI-2 and the USB cable out of the box, and set everything else to the side for now
2) Create Account on HP Tuners website
- Head over to HP Tuners Registration Page
- Fill out the “Register” form with your email address and a password
3) Download & Install MPVI-2 SoftwareÂ
- Click the Downloads button on the HP Tuners website
- Download VCM Suite (Beta) and MPVI-2 Drivers

- Once VCM Suite (Beta) is installed, you will notice two new icons appear on your desktop – VCM Editor and VCM Scanner (VCM Editor is used for reading / flashing tune files & VCM Scanner is used for data logging)
- Install MPVI-2 Drivers (this allows your PC to recognize the MPVI-2 Interface when plugged in)
4) Update Firmware on the MPVI-2 Interface
- Connect MPVI-2 to your PC with the provided USB cable
- Open VCM Editor (Beta)
- Once the VCM Editor is open – click “Help” at the top menu and “Resync Interface”
- The firmware will download, and update your MPVI-2
- You should receive a message that says ” Firmware update completed”
5) Register MPVI-2 with HP Tuners
- Open VCM Editor (Beta) and click “Help” on the top menu
- Click “MPVI2 Verification Code” (this will show you the Serial Number and Verification code of your MPVI-2 Interface)
- Copy the “Serial Number” and “Verification Code”
- Open the HP Tuners My Account page (log back in if you have logged out since creating account)
- Click on My Devices

- Click “Proceed to Checkout”
- Complete Checkout
7) Sync Credits to your MPVI-2
- Open VCM Editor with MPVI-2 connected to PC with USB cable
- Click “Help” in top menu

Remote Tuning 101: Reading Tune Files
At this point you’ve unboxed your MPVI-2, created your account at HP Tuners, downloaded and installed VCM Editor and VCM Scanner, updated the firmware on your MPVI-2, registered your MPVI-2 with HP Tuners, and purchased and synced your credits onto your MPVI-2.
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

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

- Select the “Write Vehicle” icon from the top menu bar of VCM Editor
- Select / Deselect Required Modules

- 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

- 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

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.

Ryan goes above and beyond for customer service. Definitely recommend if your looking for excellence.
Just got done getting my truck tuned, after installing a VVT1 cam. Ben did an awesome job, I was surprised with how easy it was. Watch the videos, on the remote tuning page and you’re good. You get your start up and start working from there. Every revision made it better and now it runs like a dream. All my concerns were answered and taken care of. I couldn’t ask for anything else.
Ben did an amazing job getting my truck dialed in. Huge difference all over the RPM range in power and responsiveness.
I have an L83 w/ longtubes, CAI and mildly built transmission. Much peppier and trans shifts in all the right times, no longer feels like a slush box either. Very happy with the results. Will definitely be returning for future updates!
Excellent instructions for new users. Simplified process.
Quality tunes, car runs great
