ok joe i understand about not needing the license upgrade , my present boot block and firmware already have the new style license structures so when i upgrade the boot block and firmware i will not be prompted by the V2 with the message to upgrade license , is this correct , thank you joe
have a question joe apart from all of this , logged a few quarter mile runs the other day for the first time and i noticed my MAP was reading 14.9 to 15.1 psi , this cant be my boost gauge reads close to 10 psi , have a magnuson on a 4.8 with a 3.4 in pully , how accurate is this map sensor or do i have to scale it , i know my guage inside stops at 10 psi , whats the reason for this because i know i am not phisically runing 15 psi, i have a 6.0 that i will be porting the heads and changing the springs and pusrods and rod bolts with a nice cam that i will be installing this summer but not in a hurry because i am trying to perfect a cooling system for my intercooler , i run a 13.06 and want to be in the high 12,s before i swap out for the 6.0 , for a 4.8 it is very fast considering i am lifted 6.5in with 35in tires , ist a longbed single cab black silverado 4x4 year 2000 , it sleeps in the garage and never sees winter what a pitty i know , i love working on this truck and i have come to realize that the number one importance is cooling the intake charge ,if i can get in the high 12s with my 4.8 i know high 11s will be possible with the 6.0 and that will be awsome , its fun because in quebec most people at the track are running fast cars so when you come along with a fast pickup its very special , got to have passions , this and snowboarding my two , thanks joe
It will say that if the V2 is not connected to your PC...Originally Posted by Eric
also go Help->Register EFILive and enter in the Scan&Tune license info.
Download/install updated V7 and V8 from this: showthread.php?t=13550
Once you installed V8, run EE and update bootblock to 2.6.03 and firmware 2.6.35.
Please do read thru this document to get a clearer picture... just study it thru, it will clear up some concepts about V2.
FSBootV2_xx_yy.efw: FlashScan boot block Version 2.xx.yy.
FSProgV2_xx_yy.efw: FlashScan firmware Version 2.xx.yy.
Be sure to format the Data space and the Config space.
Then run S&T to do the following:
- setup the Device Settings,
- setup the Black Box settings.
Which year/model vehicle do you have...?

Yes, correct.
I would uninstall it, and do a fresh install with the new one.
The MAP sensor might be the 1-bar kind, it pegs at 15.1 psi (i.e. 105 kPa).
Display these in Metric: MAP, MAF, and anything else that is mass or mass/time... this makes it easier for us...
What axle ratio do you have...?
Yes, cooling the intake charge is important for several reasons:
- reduces opportunity for knock,
- increases air charge density.
Yes, we all love internal combustion engines, that's why we're all here...
thanks joe
I will uninstall V7 and do a fresh install of V7 and V8 , i have read the pdf. on upgrading flashscan and i will read it again , can you explain what you mean about formating the data and the config space and to set up the device settings and black box settings . Yes i must have a 1bar MAP sensor because my logs all maxed at 15.1psi or 105KPa , is it possible that i am running this mush boost it doesnt make sence, never new because my in truck gauge stops at 10psi, can i trust what my MAP sensor is telling me , i know i can step up to a 2bar operating system but that is for another time because i want to concentrate on BBL and the tuning software . To answer your question i am running 4:56 gears, i installed an auburn limited slip diff with an electric locker which i never use because the truck never sees mud , should have installed a reagular limited slip , it is in my front diff that i really need a locker because my truck pulls like crazy from left to right the first eight mile , when i installed the diff and gears there was no locker for the front but maybe ther is now , sorry about the long messages it is just nice to chat with someone who understands this , thanks joe
Before you use a brand new hard disk, USB memory fob, or SD card, it has to be formatted (i.e. an empty file system created)...
V2 has two separate file systems:
- [Config] which stores all the config files,
- [Data] which stores all the data files (logs and tunes).
The [Data] space has two separate instances: internal and external (SD card). In the V2 Device Settings you select which one, on the V2 LCD/keypad navigate F4->F1->F1 Edit Settings.
To format [Config] you go into EE, goto Config Files tab and click Format.
To format [Data], on the V2 LCD/keypad navigate F4->F2->F3 Format File Sys.
When you install V8, you will see two pieces of software: EFILive Explorer (EE) and Scan&Tune (S&T).
BOOST = MAP - BARO
BARO is typically 100 kPa at sea level.
So if you're running 10 psi (70 kPa) boost, then MAP is 25 psi (170 kPa).
i.e. MAP from 0 to 100 kPa is no boost, and then over 100 kPa is boost.
Your truck is 4x4... does it pull left/right because one or more wheels are slipping...?
You have the same ratio in both axles...? What ratio is the transfer case and/or center differential...?
No worries...
See these pics from S&T.
