Interested in tuning

[4.3_vortec]

Im in the process of building a 383 for my 94 that currently has a 4.3 in it. ive been looking around the site and this tuning stuff looks interesting. Do any of you have any pointers to start, i see this TunerPro program i would like to learn about it. Any info would help, thank you much.

You can google tunerpro and download it to get familiar with the program! You should also check out Moates site and see about the tuning equipment you would want to start with. Or you can also check out Dynaminefi and kill 2birds with one stone. Lots of info to read and ask about we will try and help if we can.

Thank you very much "350" i'll look into that, thank you for a start.

I have a Burn1 unit if you want it. give you a good deal

[4.3_vortec]

Is this another type of tuner? Do you have i any info on this just so i can know what im looking at. Thank you much.

[91chevZ71]

It's a moates product. You'll need it if you don't use a "flash" (non-chip) solution. check it out at moates.net under chip programmers

it connects to your laptop via USB. used for burning chips

So it is a chip burner, but will also read your chip from the factory. YOu have to take the chip out of the ecm is that correct?

[91chevZ71]

I think it can, but you could probably find your .bin online somewhere (moates). In my truck, the four-letter .bin name was on a white sticker on the computer. Mine was "ARJU".
Acutally, I know it can. It just has to set up for the right chip and offset.

I would be interested in buying this of of you, send me a PM with some info and we'll talk, thank you much. Nice truck by the way.

Yes it will read your stock style chip but!! You will have to convert your ecm to the newer style chips. It pretty easy as long as you can us a solder gun decently!! I use the moates burn1 with tunerpro and winaldl to datalog etc. Its kinda old school now but its pretty cheap and easy way to get started. Moated site has all the info on doing the conversion and The burning equipment!! I personally would go the EBL route from Dynamic EFI if i was to do it again!! Thats in my near future. Check out those web sites and it should enlighten you on some of this stuff. Let us know how it goes. P.S It is addictive once you start!!! LOL

[91chevZ71]

yeah, I forgot about that. need a zif socket. Like 90 said, it's all on moates

[4.3_vortec]

Do you guys know where i can find some terms on some of this stuff. there is a lot of abrevations and i dont what it all means. Thanks for the help so far. Im already starting to get hooked and haven't ever tried anything yet.

[4.3_vortec]

That Dynamic EFI sounds sweet as hell with the What's up display that looks kick A$$.

If you go to the prom burning forum at thirdgen.org there is a ton of info written in guides and stickies there. Cant be beat.
