Default Tuning a TSP 228R Cam

If i instal the TSP 228R camshaft in my 04 GTO LS1 will a local CMR dealer beable to tune that for me? I have heard mixed thoughts about him being able to tune it with the Predator. Im also doing 112 LSA on the cam.

You need someone with HP Tuners and a good WB O2 to tune your car properly.

Do it right the first time, saves you time and money.

I think there is some confusion. CMR (aka Chipmaster Revolution) is a fairly robust piece of software that has only been for sale to shops. I don't know how robust it is having never seen it. But from what I understand, it has access to a lot of the same tables as EFI Live or HPT. The difference is, it works through a hand-held when uploading/downloading the tune from the PCM. This allows someone to tune remotely if there are issues after the initial tuning session (end user d/l's tune, emails to tuner, tuner emails new tune back, user uploads tune to hand-held and loads tune in car). They do this in the Ford world quite a bit...it's how my friend had his Lightning tuned.

Now, is it as optimal as someone who learns EFI Live or HPT for themselves and hooks the laptop up everytime they take the car out? Probably not. But, just because they use CMR doesn't mean they can't tune the car to run right. In the end, it's all in what you want to pay for I guess...

As long as the tool supports VE tuning, you should be pretty good...
