    Just wanted to bump the thread. Has this patch been added to EFI Live or are we stuck still going to the "Other" tuner? I've been dealing with the 13.6V, but now I require more power for all the accessories I am adding.

    There is always the option to use one of these, I use one on my Gen V swap and works perfect outputting 14.5V or so.

    I saw this on the LS Swap forum. I was hoping I wouldn't have to add it since I saw in an earlier post here about adding a patch to the program that allowed for alternator control.

    what OS. someone might have time to provide the info for a cax file. I've been delving into the ecu/tcm code myself lately so could potentially help.

    Save this to a text file and save with a .cax extension & place it in the C:\Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V7.5\Calibrations folder if using v7.5 with your os number for file name.
