Yes a bunch of them out there. If you search you can find a couple of threads. EFI live says they can tune it. HP Tuners has a BETA out that says they can tune it. I burned a VIN in one of mine and now I can tune it with the HP Tuners. I will test the BETA HP Tuners on another PCM this weekend.

Does anyone know if they support cruise control and what the main harness trunk length is?

I have one in my Mustang/LS2 hybrid and yes you can tune the ECM. Mine came with a E67 ECM that we had to flash with a '06 CTSV file using the GM tool. Then we tuned it with HP Tuners just like it was a CTSV. Pretty simple really.

Would you happen to know what the trunk length is (where all the the individual lines converge at the rear of the engine to the PCM)?

I would say 1meter. Maybe 1½.

40inches at least from the ECM to where the Wires branch out for left and right cylinderbank.

Hahaha, I just replied to the email notification. Damn I am too busy.

here is what I was trying to send...


The Beta version that I used works just fine. Dyno'd 2 different setups ,
one a NA cam and header stock injectors and another a TVS2300 with 60 pound injectors.

Worked just great!

Robin,

Can you elaborate a little more on this BETA version of HP Tuners. Are you saying the BETA version does not require the PCM to be flashed with a CTSV VIN?

I have the LS7 controller kit on my GTO and would love to be able to tune out my rich WOT condition.

Andrew

E Mail support@hptuners.com. Give them your serial number and they will post a BETA version that will accept the non vin GMPP ECU.

You will need to dowload and install that version.

Good Luck!
