2k18 tuning support
Any tuning available for engine and trans.
Do I have to take the tcm and send it in to be unlocked? |

The 2017 TCM had to be sent to HP Tuners to unlock. I would think it would be the same for 2018 or worse!!

Yes I am tuning 18 cars and truck already, the TCM has to be pulled and sent off for TCM unlock modification.

For now, I'm in a holding pattern, until someone figures out how to play with the 2018 V6 ECU. |

I'd imagine you could tune both the ecm and tcm in the V6 just as easy as the SS and I4. That GMPP Intake has really neen a mess with dealers not knowing anything but I'd hope you'd communicate with the dealer and make sure they know what it is and what they need to research before buying it.

Unless someone else knows something that isn't common knowledge, I don't know of any significant changes made to the 2018 model year, so the actual tune should be nearly identical. I can only assume that there is some type of encryption, that changes from year to year, and no one has figured it out on the V6. I just don't know why no one has cracked it, yet. Unless GM, as well as the aftermarket tuners, don't have a monetary drive to change this, it's possible that no one ever will. If the have realized that the V6 market has been a loss, as far as aftermarket sales, there wouldn't be any reason to put out the expense to crack the ECM, and create software to tune it. Hopefully, I'm wrong, but this far into the model year, you would expect someone to have figured this out, if they had any intentions to do it. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

I guess there's always Plan B. I'll have to do some more research, but it looks at least possible to run a wet nitrous system, using a secondary fuel tank and system, with E85. Hopefully, that type of setup could be run without risking too much, not being able to alter the ECM. The other bonus to a wet nitrous system would be having fuel enter the intake system before the valves, so they could possibly have less build up on them. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

If I end up seriously looking at the option of Nitrous, I'll definitely be doing a lot more research and asking around before I pull the trigger. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |
