Basic first tune
I have been searching for information on first tune on my conversion. Lm7 in 1941 Studebaker. I will be using a 411 from 02’ Yukon.
It seems to me that differences between the two vehicles such as weight, rear end gearing and tire size would affect the tune. Are items such as I described something that can be changed in the program?
Should I be looking for a tune that has been uploaded that has similar properties to my conversion?
Appreciate any and all suggestions.

Thanks for the support. I'll be using PC Hammer. I think I’m going to put this thread on hold? Not sure how to do that! But it seems I should hook up the 411 ecu to PC hammer, read and save it. Then just putter around and become familiar with the program so I will better understand responses.
Then once I am ready to actually start the engine and get moving, I’ll have found a file(s) that will be suitable for my car.

If you have a manual transmission I'd be shocked if any of those things made a difference to the tune.
The stuff that really mattes is whatever affects the flow of air and fuel (intake tract, cam, fuel injectors, stuff like that).
I'm pretty sure the engine will be just fine if you grab another LM7 tune that used the same intake manifold, cam, and fuel injectors. And use the same diameter MAF housing.

Now using a 411 from 01 Silverado with OS of 12208322. I found an XDF file to use with the OS. In Tuner Pro, I went through the parameter categories made changes to column lock, vats, transmission type and a couple of changes in the vehicle platform options.
At this time I don’t see any other categories that need attention. However I am open to any and all suggestions and opinions.
