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

- 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.

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 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

2) Recording a Data Log

- 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.

Hello! I recently had my 2019 Silverado 5.3L 8-speed at a local shop. They did a DFM/VVT delete and installed a BTR stg2 cam and 2800 stall Circle D converter. They unlocked the ecm and tcm and tuned it, and provided me with an RTD4 with the new tune(s) on it. While these guys did a great job on the engine, I feel like the tune is a little off. I’ve been back and forth with them, but not really getting anywhere. Is there any way I can have you guys tune it remotely using the RTD device and the TDN phone app?

I’ve looked at your remote tuning packages and not sure which route to go. Any info would be appreciate and if you need more info from me let me know and I’ll provide it.

My car was running good but i wanted to see what could be changed with a different tune. Ben and i sent three revisions back and forth and now the car just plain runs better. All throughout the power band Ben my 416 stroker happy. Flashing tunes and data logging were easy with hp tuners software and the instruction gpi provides.
Ryan did an incredible job remote tuning my 416 stroker swap in my Colorado ZR2 . Drivability is amazing! And he even diagnosed it having a large vacuum leak just watching the parameters. Highly recommended..
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
