2016 Chev Z71 5.3 l 8 speed trans

Post by chrysio »

I just ordered my I2 tuner and have a few questions , 2016 Chev Z71 5.3 l 8 speed trans
- I have a full Flowmaster exhaust with a K&N cold air intake and 34.2 " tires with a 4" BDS lift. is there a specific tune
That will work with the cold air intake ? The tires are 275-65-20 that can be corrected on the I2 tunner
- The 8 speed is also supported , stock my truck isn't shifting very well and seems to lugging.
- I have to add fuel if so how much for the cold air ?
- Any ideas what the final hp numbers would be with the following modds?


Thanks for any help with my setup

No changes needed for the CAI.
All dynos read differently, what we see here on our superflow dyno may not at all be what you see on a different brand somewhere else.

So it's my understanding the 8 speed is supported.

Keep us posted I have the same truck and I cant get my tune to work. Very frustrated to say the least I bought this based on being basically plug and play. Had it almost a week and it is a paper weight. Would not let me update on my windows computer and then the truck would not read the pcm / waiting for a response to my email from Friday / next step will be asking about how to return it if it does not get resolved soon.

Have you verified the device is up to date?

what happens when you try to update?
What happens when you try to read the stock tune?

your tcm is supported here, please save this to the i2 drive and let the device import it then you can go tune the tcm.

Thanks

no it can not..

The dates on the inTune never change. There is no internal clock on the tool to keep track of dates/times. The date is hard-coded in the tool, so the dates won't change.

and if you record any data logs, the dates will all be the same too.. the newest logs will have the highest number in the file name.. i.e. _00, _01, _02, _03, etc.. highest number is newest log...
