Hey bruh here is the hook up for TCS. Yes raise max torque table but tcs refers to minimum spark under torque management minimum torque tab. Lower the number for less spark reduction and raise torque to where you want it to hit. Doing this now on my Caprice PPV.

[@user-xw4hn7lb3x]

I have mine set just enough to allow my rear end to slide and fish tail but still allow me to keep the car pointed where i want it to go, even up to WoT. Reduce torque value setting for more wheel spin or increase torque for less or no wheel spin. If say your car has 500 ft lbs and you set the TCS torque to 300 ft lb, then the TCS will limit the engine to what is left of your power, which is 200 ft lbs when it detects wheel spin.

[@lordoftheturps9337]

Just got my tuner 2 days ago have zero clue what I’m doing but I appreciate you takeing your time to try and help us guys that are new to this and can’t afford a tuner everytime we upgrade something

[@nsboost]

Glad to see you growing! I been throwing your name out there one Facebook a lot lately for people wanting to learn

[@GoatRopeGarage]

Appreciate it bro!!

[@06freightshaker]

Love these test and tune videos. It's stuff I've wanted to play with but afraid to break stuff lol

[@SkubaSam]

On my 16 Camaro, I played around with this and ended up finding out I liked it lower 79ft-lbs then the factory. Also the camaro has wheel hop control (power hop) and oil starve enabled from the factory. I have both off now

[@thomasjohnson1142]

That’s what I always got from it basically on and off nothing you could control but the only question I ever had was I wondered if the switch that turns it off 100% shuts it off or just to a certain percentage. But having I never wanted to get rid of it cause it will save your ass in the rain when everyday driving thanks brother easy on the Superado he’s on vacation lol

[@james10739]

The gen 3s do have some traction control options but I think it is very really on I have seen some later model suburban and Tahoes with a button like 05, 06 I was thinking about enabling it on my 03 suburban just because but I have not messed with it

[@isidrosevier1125]

I recently just started playing around with these settings on my 2014 SS sedan. It has the e38 ecm and I left the enable temp alone and set the max torque to like 200 more than what the car dynoed. I also have enable/disable settings for using spark or fuel cut as a form of TCS. I disabled those and under wheel hop there is option for spark or fuel cut also I disabled those. It feels like it is quite a bit more torque when accelerating especially in 6th cruising. I would get a bit of a stutter before. But not it seems to have lessened. This is with a 3600 stall converter. So, I do think it made some difference. I would like to get it back on the Dyno and see if it actually made any difference.

[@Spade963]

It used the throttle position on the throttle to limit tq, you can tune different program different tq strategies to limit power.

[@03canadianf5]

Now how can I get Stabilitrak to stay off completely when I turn it off? I have a kill switch but it won't let me brake/throttle at the same time.

[@jacobm832]

I have oil starve enabled on my 09 Z06

[@lukew22494]

Tbss and gto/g8 NEED oil starvation enabled from the factory. I still cant understand a front sump pan on a sports vehicle.

[@GoatRopeGarage]

Great point!

[@knjpollard]

For launch control can you alter e-throttle by MPH so all we need to do it mash the pedal to launch?

[@sniperpronerfmods9811]

DIVINE MERCY!!!

[@marcinpohl3264]

Change your view to graphs, it's a lot easier to see things how one PID affects another if you have them in context (time).

[@jtblckz2855]

Oil starvation enabled on 6th Feb Camaro ZL1

[@benjaminofuasia9236]

03 suburban (gen 3 5.3) currently disabling tcs

[@jackthibeault7803]

I have a 2013 2500hd z71 with 3.73 gears and it is a dog I can feel the power slowly come back after it shifts and from. A dead stop if you step on it it falls on its face will just sqweek the tires then it feels like its thinking about it then once it is rolling it feels like it slowly comes back

[@Mitch-b727]

Hey kyle I have a lsa engine with a base tune from gmpp that has oil starve enabled on it !!!! Also has wheel hop control Powerhop enabled Via spark Via fuel cut

[@Mitch-b727]

I can email you the base tune for the engine for more setting maybe some lsa specific tune videos

[@GoatRopeGarage]

Stock?

[@Mitch-b727]

@@GoatRopeGarage yes stock tune from gm performance parts ! their 556hp crate kit for lsa i can send you a copy of it !

2018 Camaro SS, oil starve is enabled

[@GoatRopeGarage]

Thanks!

[@dougmcguire101]

How do you add channels

[@rmorris3722]

Transmission torque settings

[@stephenrushing7118]

Need help, I have a 14 sierra, twin turbo, texas speed stage 2 cam, vvt delete, dod delete, lt4 fuel pump and injectors, diamond pistons, pro comp rods. How can I tell if I've got my cam tuned in properly? Newby to tuning but really trying to learn all this stuff.

[@GoatRopeGarage]

Basically, just need to get it running well, no stumble, decent idle, falls back to idle well. Cams just take a lot of fine tuning to get everything dialed in. Start with bumping the timing for down low and then get your AFRs dialed in. You might have to make some torque table adjustments if it keeps trying to pull timing.

[@stephenrushing7118]

Thanks for your gen v idle tuning video, if it wasn't for that my truck would be running like garbage.

[@jamesscheider7055]

Mine has more tables than that

[@domualex]

mate...i have oil starvation on on my s85 v10... e60 m5... but this is something out of your channels scope...you are more into crap american engineering

[@winstonmcclean8703]

Your incredible German Engineering has rod bearings as a maintenance item…

[@domualex]

@@winstonmcclean8703 no..just idiotic owners...if you change the oil every 5k and dont rev it until up to temp...rod bearings is not an issue...i mean..it is..in the US;)

[@SpeedDemonCBR]

@@winstonmcclean8703 dude thinks he’s hot shit because he has an engine that has a lifespan is 120k miles and using a quart of oil every 750 miles and needs their bearings replaced every 50k miles but says American cars are shit lol
