GM controller #19201861 tune? Just got a LS3 crate with the GM controller kit #19201861. Eventually I will change the cam and add a 100hp shot of gas. Can this controller be re tuned/flashed easily?

Yes, as in some previous posts others are tuning them. You will need to get someone to program a VIN number into the ECM as it doesn't have one. After that your HP Tuners will work.
I finally tried this last week on a LS3 PCM that I have and it worked.
The hard part was getting a Vin and then getting someone with a Tec II to program the ECM. You will need a harness atached to power up the ECM for the process.
I got most of the information from this thread
https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...=845442&page=6
And more info from HP Tuners.
FWIW thes controllers are designed to allow the use of a the GM Performance Parts crate engines. GMPP does not encourage or support the modification of the ECM.
I needed to edit mine because I am using it as a dyno harness.
Good luck!

Very interesting. I need to look into that option. I have a friend who is going to offer these units pre loaded with a dummy vin. Last I heard HP wasn't interested in working out a soloutin. This would make it a lot easier for those who modify their GM Crate engines and need to tweek the tune.

OOPS! hahaha, posted before I finished reading the entire thread. Looks like HP will do something after all...

Help needed with Base tune L98 (= L76 w.o. AFM) with E67 Jesse, I called you earlier this week and way I understood it is that there isn't too much you can do with this controller? I would like to hear/read a bit more to come to a decision to where I will send the GMPP E67 I have for a base tune for the L98 (= LS2 with LS3 top end or L76 w.o. AFM or you can call it the 6.0 version of the LS3) I'm building into my 67 Camaro (have a look @ http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/vbp...?do=view&g=193).
I live in the Netherlands and there is no support around here for this nor is there any experience with tuning LS engines. I would like to educate myself in due time with regards to tuning with HPtuners or EFIlive but right now, after talking to a couple of tuners, I'm more or less lost about what to do. So please guys, if/when possible, help me out as much as possible, I would really appreciate it.
