LS - Gen IV

LS3, L98 and L77 tuning.

VE and VF Commodore, HSV and GM utes. Bolt-on and cam package calibration with factory drivability kept intact.

The Gen IV cars are the most common LS platform on our hoists. VE and VF Commodore, Clubsport, Maloo and the SS utes all share the same basic recipe: breathe better, then calibrate for it.

On an L98 or L77 the first job is usually intake and exhaust with a full custom file, including transmission work on the 6L80. On an LS3 there is more to work with, so cam packages become worthwhile and the calibration effort goes up accordingly.

We write for 98 RON, hold sensible knock margin, and keep the car civil cold, in traffic and on a hot day. A car that only behaves at full throttle is not finished.

FAQ

Common questions.

What does a tune do on a stock LS3?
It cleans up torque management, part-throttle fuelling and transmission behaviour, and it removes the factory caution that has nothing to do with your car. The bigger gains come once the intake and exhaust are opened up.
Can you turn off Active Fuel Management on an L77 or L98?
AFM and DOD behaviour is addressed in the calibration on the platforms that use it. If the hardware is already worn we will talk about the mechanical fix before writing a file over it.
Do you calibrate the 6L80 automatic?
Yes. Shift points, shift pressure and torque management are all part of the job on VE and VF autos, and it is a big part of how the car feels afterwards.
Is a dyno run included?
No. Every car is logged and road tested as standard. A before and after dyno run is an optional add-on at $250.
