If youre going to spend 500$ on tuning hardware, get HPTuners and tune your vehicle properly...

[@brianwa1982]

Damn, you're car is hella nice, love the sound that exhaust system and those rims. I wish I had the GXP trim. Mine is only a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix base, still has the basic steel wheels and all but I plan to upgrade those eventually. It was a rare facebook marketplace find, I got it last November with only 48,000 miles on it, has almost 54,000 miles on it now unfortunately due to doing some door dashing because of my financial situation. But I wont be doing that too much longer, dont wanna rack up a lot of miles on the car doing that.

[@dlin24]

I have the same tuner, but I installed a tune from overkill. You’re better off with HPtuners. You get credits for 4 vehicles vs 1 and the hptuners allows you to reprogram many parameters that this one doesn’t. All for the same price.

[@itsmarkwtf]

What are credits?

[@jasonmackiewicz323]

How did you get the overkill tune?

[@serfcityherewecome8069]

Nice car, Chief...did a quick double-take when I saw the video title and thought for a second it was a video showing how to make a GXP run like an old Pontiac T-1000 (i.e., rebadged Chevette) from the early '80s...which I couldn't imagine being in very high demand... 🤪

My 06 gxp grand prix oil burning is a pain in ass I had the range afm diasbler but it was garbage

[@the70oojudge]

I am using one and it still seems to work, no oil consumption

[@straightdropgamingg]

Hey on your cam position sensor was replaced what did your car do cause I have an 04 as well and it trying to figure out what's wrong with it its true over but want start up and I did everything under the sun

[@ak1920]

Nice car man !..you should get some more tubing and run your intake into the fenderwell and get real cold air

[@ghostgunner27]

I wonder how many transmissions his tune has destroyed so far

[@Don_Marijuanero]

dude the more i see your vids the more im being swayed away from a charger an G8Gt

[@Dr._Swash_Buckler]

You’d be happier with a Chevy SS over a G8

[@dayvid_rrola]

Do you gain horsepower?

[@HaremHighway]

Super new to the car culture , I have an 04 Pontiac Grand Prix GT what should I do to get better performance? I've considered getting an upgraded transmission... Thanks in advance.

[@AndrewsCarReviews]

Consider adding the GTP supercharger and corresponding upgrades to support it like exhaust, intake, bigger injectors, upgraded spark plugs, etc. There’s a few sites that specialize in 3800 performance parts, look around on google a bit. Upgraded trans is a good idea as they should be beefed up eventually, but I would add a little power first. Hope this helps! Mod on brother!

[@demonicxxx]

How much more performance (horsepower) gain do you even get out of this? Is it even worth $500? I have a 2007 GXP and I NEED to know lol

[@TheShwaviest]

Did you ever get this tune? If so did you gain any HP? Just got a 07 GXP too

[@nathankenney9912]

What kinda tips are those?

[@bobk3686]

so this should work on a 2006 impala ss ?

[@lawrencejackson3160]

What's the benefits of tuning your vehicle?

[@Ranja1930]

depends what your looking for. You could change transmission shift patterns, change fuel/air mixture. for better mileage. or better power. possibly both. can change the ratio's at which it stays in the power band. those sorts of things. typically most factory's set these patterns conservatively as to not push cars too hard or to make for a simple super smooth shifting. but it's possible by changing the tune to grab more power. better shifts. let it stay in the high rpms longer.

Did u do a DOD delete

[@luism3466]

you think it's worth the risk to invest in one cuz I see a gem

[@AndrewsCarReviews]

Use your best judgement. It is expensive to maintain but a very fun car to own.

[@Riches1969]

Great video. Does it allow you to delete the rev limiter and speed limiter? 🤔

[@AndrewsCarReviews]

That I don’t know, although I haven’t come across that functionality thus far.

[@davido3497]

Yes you can raise and lower rev limiter and where the shift points are, you can also have it so you can take the car to 9000rpm in manual mode, I wouldn’t recommend taking a ls4 over 6200 but you can if you wish.

[@Riches1969]

Thanks for the info. Also does the car have a speed limiter? If so what it the top speed and can it be deleted?

[@davido3497]

So the car maxes without a tune 130mph I’ve taken a turbo gxp on a diablo tune to 165 before tires were giving up

[@Riches1969]

Hi... Have you deleted the DOD yet? If so does it make a sound and power difference? I was told it's wakes up the car cause ur running in 8 cyls all the time. I'm thinking of deleting mine. Wondering if it is worth it?

[@synthasia-5041]

Can you also select different shift firmness with this tuner?

[@AndrewsCarReviews]

Yeah! I have selected a firmer shift with the transmission tuning because it will save a little wear and tear on the trans

[@Riches1969]

Nice car. I have the same. Where did I get ur cold air intake and what kind is it?

[@AndrewsCarReviews]

It’s a no name brand kit I found on eBay for like $50. Didn’t want to spend $300+ for a name brand one.

[@Riches1969]

@@AndrewsCarReviews OH OK thx. Also is there a noticeable difference in performance from stock with it?

[@AndrewsCarReviews]

Slight difference in throttle response with the intake, but heat soak reduces power when engine is real hot as well since there’s no insulation box to dispel heat. I like the look of the intake better than the stock air box.

[@bobk3686]

does your cooling fan come on with this tune ?

This isn't "how to tune" this is how to apply a canned tune which is garbage.

Idk if you still respond to these but. I plan on getting one of these but wanna turn off dod or the afm. Does this thing do that?

The 2005-2006 ls4's have the E40 ECM's n the 2007+ ls4's have the newer E67 ECM's I don't know if that would make any difference for the tuner
