2010 Camaro tuning

[GMPX]

Hi All,

One of our customers is lucky enough to be the owner of a new 2010 Camaro, the tune was sent to us early this week for support.
Just this morning EFILive released an update that gives tuning support for the 2010 Camaro (it uses an E38). Looking at the stock tune, the expected (not confirmed) WOT AFR's will be in the 11's and timing in the low 20's, there is going to be some room for improvement.

Already some shops are working on turbo and supercharger kits for the new Camaro, of course using EFILive's Virtual VE tables these boosted applications are catered for right now!

To get 2010 support, please click on the Camaro link on our website - http://www.efilive.com/ and follow the instructions.

Cheers,
Ross

P.S - No, I won't post the tune up here, I'm sure the owner would not appreciate it.

Nice job!

I am suppose to have the vin number for mine tomorrow!:cucumber:

Sent you a e-mail as followup to last weeks conversation regarding this.

[tokymon]

is this just the v8's ?
any word on the v6:cheers:

[GMPX]

Just the V8, we aren't going to support the V6's Bosch DI ECM (which is on the way out anyway :cucumber:).

Cheers,
Ross

Ross,

Would you happen to also have the T43 support on the new Camaro yet? Just received my vin # today on a new red one with the L99 auto. I will send the files when I get if there is still a need and you can post them if anyone wants to look at them.

[GMPX]

Hi Ron,

Sorry, the customer who sent he's file has a stick car. We have not had anyone with an Auto send anything yet.
I would suspect the TCM won't be supported in the current version, the ECM got a pretty major update I expect the TCM will be the same.

Cheers,
Ross

The L99 is for the auto and LS3 for man. DOD in a 6.2 block for 99.
Can we post up tunes for each?
Please?

I will share my L99 tune when I get it.

I will share my L99 tune when I get it.

That would be great.
I am working with an anxious client who expecting a 5th Gen any day. The car is an L99 but have a built 416 LS3 stroker ready to go on day one. So--need to change OSs and tune.

[RonC]

Mine was just built Friday the 17th so it should be here soon.

[GMPX]

[vortecfcar]

Anxious to see that automatic file. I have a local guy with one on the way as well :)

Ross,

I have just read the L99 Auto file and TCM file from my Camaro delivered today. Both files look ok and the T43 uses OS# 24249179, Cal# 24253492. If you still need these files, I will send them to you.

Thanks for the great work you guys do for us.

Ron

[GMPX]

Thanks Ron, but we have got those already, enjoy the new car.

Since I have an LS3 in my 69 Camaro, I sure wouldn't mind getting the tune for the LS3 in the new Camaro or Vette. The tune on the holden site for the 2008 vette won't download for me, I just get jibberish....

What controler are you using to run it, reluctor?? It is a lot easier with a 99-08 LS1B

IMO

I'm using a PCM from 99 and up F-body. I have the 56 tooth reluctor on the LS3 crank. I'm just interested in the VE and timing tables to see how GM tuned the LS3. I have LS1 parameters in mine (with changes to the obvious stuff like CI's, fuel injectors, etc.).

Derrick

[GMPX]

I'm sure someone posted some 2010 Camaro tun files up here a month or so back, did you do a search?

[5.7ute]

I have an ls3 tunefile partly transferred to an ls1 COS on my other computer I should be able to post later today.( Do not have internet access with that computer at the moment). I havent messed with the VE tables as yet but the timing tables were easily transferred.

I think there was only a 6 cyl tune? Have not seen a LS3 or L99 version posted for 2010 Camaro?

Attached is a stock 08 LS3 Corvette which should be close-

[RonC]

Here is my L99 Stock tunes for you to look at. Hope this helps.

Ron

[Bruce Melton]

Mike, comes up as a 3.1 L?

[8100 Power]

I'm picking up my 2010 SS tomorrow. Anyone having good luck with these new ones? It'd be nice to get all you can out of it before hard parts.

[GMPX]

Mike, comes up as a 3.1 L?Looks fine on my PC Bruce.

[vxchev8]

Mike, comes up as a 3.1 L?

Yeh, noticed the VIN info from the tune RonC posted up as an 3.1L.

Strange because the 8th character in the VIN is the engine type.
J is listed as an L99 as per VIN info for 2010 cars from GM.

http://service.gm.com/dealerworld/vincards/pdf/vincard%202010%20car.pdf

I'm using V1 would that make a difference :shock:

[GMPX]

Ah, sorry, the VIN info, I thought you meant the engine type shown in the Tune file.
I think the VIN data has not been maintained to 2010 models.

Cheers,
Ross

[Bruce Melton]

Even TIS is unsure about the vin so I suspect, as usual, Ross is right on.

Looks good in all other aspects, Thanks.

Still would love to see a LS3 version:grin:

Hello Ross,

Is that correct that EFILive is not going to support the V6. That is a very cool motor. Did you see the Article in motor trend comparing it with the new Hyundai Sport coupe? The motor has 304 Hp, overhead cams etc., and is a very cool motor to turbo just like the early tuners turbo OLdsmobile V6 or the GMPX it think it was called. A real serious motor and a very cool car. The V6 Camero PCM realy needs support. Some day I think a V6 will be look at in the same way a big block is today. Please!:throw::notacrook: :chair::ranting:
Respectfully,

Just the V8, we aren't going to support the V6's Bosch DI ECM (which is on the way out anyway :cucumber:).

Cheers,
Ross

[mr.prick]

That's a bleak future. :frown:
I can hear it now:
"Dude do you remember when we had V6's,
those where the bomb compared to the Flintstone powered vehicles we have now."

[98 tigershark]

Hello Mr Prick,

178 Lbs? 3 weeks ago one of my sons friends bought a new 2010 black Camero. Money was no problem and he intentionally bought the V6 because it was more like his 350Z. I am always amazed at the track were these guys take real pride in getting 600 hp out of their 4 & 6 cylinders. They do not seem to be real interested in the bigger V8s. It is a mentality I do not share but they love them and the new GM V6 with the overhead cams is one of the baddest V6s in the market as compare to Ford and Dodge. He is already trying to make plans to single turbo and will have about 550 street able Hp.
And better economy than the L99. As I recall the GMPX started it all with the turbo tuner V6 in the mid to late 80s. Those smoke stock vets and they get a real big kick out of that. It is inevitable as Chevy is even down sizing their new 4 cylinder from the 2000 ccc Ecotech to a new 1300 cc and a 1600 cc (same as Hyundai) next year so there we have it the has come. I will alway want the feel and sound of the Performance rumble of a big cammed V8 Chevy. When I was young (in 1974-76) I had a 69 DZ 302 Z28 short block with 13.5 to 1 pop up pistons, 205 angle plug fueler heads and a very big roller cam and a dual quad weiand tunnel ram with the duel point ignition and also later a Magneto, fender well headers ladder bars and firestone slicks in my 1955 chevy 210 post with a straight axle and a flip front end and 457 rear. I was always teased for putting so much into that small block but I ran in the 9s. All the power was at high 8-12,000 rpms and light on torque. But I loved smoking the big block guys. I like my L92 427 (technically it is a small block) as much or more than my 302 and my Porche 914 with a mid engine 350 twin turboed chevy small block in the late 90s.
Personally I understand the small block vs Big block but not the V6 and 4 cylinder thing but! I am seriously considering building an ecotech very soon as I also have a 2006 SS cobalt 2000 cc supercharged w/ stage 2 kit, Hot rod magazine had a really cool article 2 months back on 550 street able HP out of an Ecotech so I will let you know if I agree with the younger crowd, I doubt it though. But that day is here now as I have personally seen it. Sorry Mr Prick and I bet GMPX nows all about GM turboed V6s.

Prickster,

I have a picture of me standing upright with a LS7 block under each (2) arm. These endangered species will be THE item in our Gearhead lifetimes.

For me, one in daily use and one in backup, is part of my IRA. My kids can't figure out the facination in their Acura lives.
Big block LS's rule.

Bruce

[mr.prick]

2 LS7's!
I envy you with all my heart and soul. :drool:

[98 tigershark]

I agree and can I sign up for your IRA plan Bruce? I need some economic stimulus though. My kids like the tuner foreign jobbers too. I dont get it and I dont want to. But I still might build that Ecotech. But many of us over looked the turboed V6 GMPX (Is that a Buick?). I am glad that Bruce is a LS forever Guy as he really helped me with my tune when I did my L92/ 427 ci as did Joe. I think all Vettes and Cameros should have mandatory 427s.

You can "diversify your portfolio" with guns and ammo too. :hihi:

[joecar]

Would have been nice if the 2001/2002 F-bods came with 427's and factory stainless headers/hiflow-cats...:cheers:

[98 tigershark]

Hey Joe,
Last year there was a cover story about that Special Edition in the Camaro magazines( Camaro performers- August 2007).There was a limited edition Dick Harrell Edition with a C5R 427 with around 630 HP and 605 trq. The price was a real knock your socks off $148,000.00 approx (a sticker of $135.000.00). It was a wide body also. A nice looking car but I would buy an C5 and do the 427 transplant and save up to $115- 120,000.00. I have around $28,000 total into mine. Plus it is a convertible with a trunk the same size motor, Hp n Trq, better injectors and intake manifold, better heads, cold air intake, custom MAf, new tranny, Trq converter, rear, shocks, carbon fiber hood and lewis five rear fenders, tigershark kit w front spoiler, C6 ZO6 wheels, slotted rotors and more all for the above $28,000.00 That doesnt include my labor but it does make allowances for the old parts I sold and that is the net. But that was a cool Camaro and I liked everything but the price and Bruce does not have me in his will.
At least that is what I tell my wife!
Cheers

Hey Mr Prick,
Did Bruce call you Prickster? You must be ahh neighbors. Dont answer that.
I do have a Holland and Holland 12 gauge shotgun that was Henry the 8ths.
It is appraised for $250,000.00, NOT. But I do have several decent shotguns and a great bird dog and a winchester model 70 338 magnum with lots of safari loads.

PS: We should have a beer summit since I lied about the Holland and Holland in public :cheers:

A 2006 Monte Carlo SS with a V8 and front wheel drive, thats what is worse! The Camaro is rear wheel drive and that is a good thing and a V6 is not for me but! I bought my wife a 2006 Monte Carlo SS and it has a 327 V8 in it which I liked and she loves NASCOR so I bought her, her NASCAR. The thing I never even looked at was,,, it was a front wheel drive with a V8 (It never occurred to me to even check). I thought all V8s were rear wheel drive especially in a supposedly NASCAR based car. From experience let me tell you that a pretty good V6 like the one in the Camaro that has rear wheel drive is a far better setup than a V8 with front wheel drive as with the Monte Carlo. My wife does not care but I do. Front wheel drive especially with a V8 sucks. A rear wheel drive car at least can be worked with and should have tuning support as there will be a few hundred thousand of those V6 Camaros to work with.
