    Sorry, I'll do it this week and post up here, I'm working on a 2014 E39A OS as well so doing both at once sort of speeds things up.

    Seems like we are in the same boat. I updated everything to the latest and greatest and now both controllers read and say Unrecognised PCM. Here are all the pictures of the results and info. I am sending in both files to Ross and hoping for the best. I think this OS might be a very popular one and with the track record of EFILive possibly days away from support.

    Default Several updates:

    My Verano now has over 1000 miles on it (I picked it up with 7 miles). I have kept the manufacturer recommended procedures for the first 500 miles immediately followed by a "break-in oil change" with 5w30 Penzoil Platinum Dexos full Synthetic and filter. It has been on Shell 93 every time, the dealer fill of 87 crap is long gone.

    I have run it 3 times at the drag strip @ 900 miles, and regretfully it has also participated in a dozen street races. I will not go into detail as my policy as T.S. has always been against illegal racing, at the same time I am no hypocrite so let's just say the only loss was to a Ferrari 458 Italia, the list of victims includes a modded V6 Fusion, a new Jag, a V6 BMW M3, a new C300 Mercedes, a V6 Dodge Challenger, a modded newer Civic Si, A Porsche Boxter, a modded newer Maxima, and an utter humiliation of a brand new turbo Hyundai Velugster manual.

    As far as the 1/8 mile races I will post the slips soon, I went 9.4 @ 76 mph and lost badly to my arch rival in a 2009 Infinity G37 2 door automatic. He went 8.9 @ 84 mph - rematch is coming but it won't be easy to beat him.

    The car is completely stock right now, it is a fully loaded black on black automatic transmission 2013 Buick Verano T (2.0 di LHU / 250 hp / 260 tq / 3.23 final drive). A drop-in (panel / stock air box) K&N filter will be installed tomorrow night, I expect about 2 hp and slightly better sound from that. I am messing with the tuning, but the more boost and torque I ask for, the slower it goes.

    I think it weighs around 3500 lbs, sticker says 4500 gross and I always go as light as possible. I am having a lot of trouble deciding to run with T/C on or off - I will ask lots of questions about this later.

    Courtesy of EFILive I am able to fully tune the E39A ecm, and soon there will be dramatic improvements. As of now with my modest results I am claiming fastest Verano in the world / USA / Florida until someone can disprove it. I know there are at least a couple "anti-EFILive" Veranos out there, so BRING it! - these are my bone stock first time results and I will be in the 8s soon, GOD willing.

    LOL, allegedly making +70 wheel horse, and already on E85. I have yet to see legit documentation. All I care about is daily driven 93 octane drag strip results (TIME SLIP), until then I will group that with the "250 hp Sonic and 400 hp ATS". I cannot find any ethanol around here, my gas cap is not yellow, I am 100% stock so far and daily drive to work to pay bills. So when they beat my times I will start worrying. I still think I have the fastest STOCK ltz Cruze in the world...

    Ugh I was dealing with this at our TBSS meet in Seattle on Saturday, thats all Im going to say.

    I want a Sonic so I can blow any Trifecta one out of the water, just not in the cards right now. Might have an interesting engine setup/swap going into my TBSS in the future though, time (and money) will tell...

    Boost, I am still unable to open my GS file. What changed that you were able to open it?

    Also nice times. What were the conditions?

    Aslo, reply'd to your email.

    Download the software versions shown here (both V7.5 and V8).

    Full E39A support is in those.
