Hello, So some of the swap projects I have worked on want a stockish computer setup (as opposed to megasquirt etc).
With 411 PCM's being cheap at the junkyard now they are a viable option. The tuning out of the VATs etc needs to be done, and I am looking at getting HP tuners for that. From what I understand, Any junkyard 411 can be flashed with any LSx file, Car or truck (24x). Even if the PCM came from a V6 S10 for example. This will cost 2 credits right ?

If I was to consider the unlimited licence for gen3 vehicles, car or truck, cost 30 credits each. Is there any advantage to going with one or the other ? Car or truck. Seems they both can run 24x engines but are there some advantages to one over the other ?

as long as u get a 411 PCM u can swap it for a any tune file as long as the OS matches. Doesn't matter if its car or truck. Takes 2 credits for tune a GM.

01 or 02 Camaro is a good starting point.
Cable throttle.

Truck tunes are odd.

I guess my question should have been more simple :

Can I take ANY junkyard 0411 and flash a Camaro file onto it ? How many credits will that cost ?

The HP tuners forum wont let me post there. Weird. Guess they don't want to sell anything.

For the most part you can flash any 896 or 411 pcm to any 99-02 tune, truck or car. We personally for swaps usually always flash them to over to 2002 and use OS 12212156. That OS is a great starting point and also gives you all the options you want for segment swaps if needed. The type of harness you have will determine if I use a car or truck tune.

Thanks for the advice guys. I am thinking I am going to send this unit to someone who knows what they are doing so I don't brick it/burn up a bunch of credits. I have seen conflicting things about how many credits it actually costs.
I tried to post on the HPTuners forum, Created account but wont let me post, says Mod must approve me first. Been some days now. Is that the customer service ?
I may have a barely used HP tuner interface for sale soon if that how things go.

With HP Tuners you always have to have a license for the file in the PCM and the file you are writing to it. If you don't own a bunch of model year licenses you will likely be using 4 credits.

I don't think u need license for another file. U can go into the tune repository and copy over a tune. Or use the segement swapper tool that is now included in the 3.4 version for u to do yourself. instead of emailing support and asking them to. The OS has to match for either engine or trans for the segment swapper. that's y lsx power tuning mentioned the OS that has the most common segments
