    Trying to get back into the gm's

    Hi my name is irrelevant so lets just stick with fuse lol. My first car was a 72 el camino I blew the motor build a some what nice 383 then sold it, you can see my little s10 in the background to sold it aaaa having a kid changes things. Around the same time as owning this car I became interested in japans cars I have been tuning hondas and nissans for a few years now but lately find my self longing to get back into the v8 seen. I have read almost all the stickys on the site and played with tunerpro a bit could any one link me to some more good reading? Why the tables stoping at 3000ish rpms I don't get it.

    Sweet car!

    Well maybe a post in the GM EFI section and some more info like what ECM and we will probably have some answers for you. And glad to see you found us!

    That's everywhere here!

    Well we have a separate forum for TunerPro software:
    http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...ro-Tuning-Talk

    and separate forums for each ECM by mask code:
    http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...ams-Tuner-Info

    There's a Sticky FAQ in the GM system forum with loads of links to good info:
    http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...ng-Error-Codes
    But your best bet is always start a thread for discussion on what you have/need about your particular ECM/vehicle/issue etc... we all learn together!

    There's no flaming, insults or harassment here for newbie questions if that's what your worried about? Or old tuners that just forget from not playing with this stuff. Some of the most interesting conversations have started with questions so simple no one really knew how to answer, again we all learned!

    Many GM calibrations "stop" at 3600 to 4200 RPM, due to the regular use of the vehicles. Most vehicles never see over 3500 RPM, so why add more code that would rarely get used? Once engine RPM goes higher than top RPM value of the table, it just uses the hghest RPM value in that load range, which again, in most applications is just fine.

    There are some calibrations that go to 8000 RPM or so (Quad 4 comes to mind) and some other codes have been patched to use higher RPM tables.
    The man who says something is impossible, is usually interrupted by the man doing it.
