Description
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.
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).
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).
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.
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 Software
- Click the Downloads button on the HP Tuners website
- Download VCM Suite (Beta) and MPVI-2 Drivers
- Install VCM Suite (Beta) to your PC
- 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
- Scroll down to the “MPVI 2” input fields and paste the “Serial Number” and “Verification Code” that you copied earlier

- Click “View Cart”
- 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
- Click “Resync Interface”
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

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.

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.

Hi, I have a 2011 chevy tahoe that has the 5.3. I know you guys have a no swap vehicle policy for remote tuning, but I would like to do an l9h 6.2 swap with other supporting mods. Since this came with an ls to begin with, would this be a grey area for remote tuning, since the factory ecu can still be used with this combo?

Hello, I have a 2017 Camaro SS 6mt im looking to get remote tuned. I'm installing a CAI, the lt2 intake manifold, Catless headers, 3 inch borla mid pipe all the way back to borla atak axleback. First question, Are you able to tune out the CEL for the catless headers Second, What are the current lead times to have the entire tuning process completed Third, Is there any options I need to select yes on for these modifications upon checkout, and do I still need to pay for the trans tuning since I won't be affected by it due to having a manual trans. Last, do I need a Wideband for this tune with these selected mods?

IMO GPI is goat in all areas! Ben W tuned my engine and trans, and did an excellent job. Some tune exchanges were completed in unbelievably short time frames. None were deemed by me to be too long. My 2014 Camaro SS trans tune has me ready to put him on my C7 corvette. 63 year old kid here. FYI I wear hiking boots or Nike no New balance tennis shoes in my closet lol.
★★★★★
I’ve been a huge GPI fan since discovering them in 2019, and they’ve consistently exceeded my expectations over multiple builds. The quality of their products is undeniable, but what truly sets GPI apart is their outstanding customer service. Over the years, I’ve interacted with numerous employees who have shown incredible passion and a wealth of knowledge. I want to give a special shout-out to Ryan Stevens, Andrew Cammer, Ben Weishar, James Zajac, Kevin Martin, and all the other GPI team members who have helped me along the way. You’re all amazing!
The best investment I’ve made with GPI has undoubtedly been their remote tuning process, especially for boosted setups. This service was a game-changer for me. After two frustrating experiences with other remote tuners, I was about to give up on getting my boosted setups dialed in while stationed overseas in Hawaii. Then, GPI launched their remote tuning for boosted applications, and it was a lifesaver! Working with Ryan on my remote tune here in Hawaii was an absolute pleasure. He was incredibly helpful, taking the time to explain everything and offer valuable suggestions. The real-time commentary during the tuning process was invaluable. I’ve now had two different boosted setups dialed in on the same car within a year, both flawlessly executed by GPI.
Since then, I’ve become a GPI evangelist here in Hawaii, and all my friends who have taken my recommendation have had their own setups tuned by GPI with equally fantastic results. I can’t recommend GPI enough. They’ve taken care of me, my “toys,” and my friends, and I wouldn’t choose any other company. Thank you, GPI!

Very quick to respond and enthusiastic and interested in the direction I was going with my car. We tried multiple fuels, multiple intake setups, and ended up going 10.51 @ 130 with a bolt on M6 lt1!
Been working with Ryan on remote tuning less than a year on a Procharged car. Right out of the gate, he had us crusing down the road. The car made more than we could have imagined and think there is still some left to be had. These guys at GPI know thier stuff from tuning to parts.
GPI for the win again. The remote tuning is the best around. Ben has my 5th gen Camaro dialed in just about perfect. When he was on PTO Ryan stepped right in and got me my next revision and again spot on. Best duo out there. Not letting anyone else touch my car when it comes to tuning!!
