This is our most comprehensive learning system yet. It features the GM Gen V printed course using HP Tuners along with the online learning companion.
ONLINE
The GM Gen V Fundamentals and Tuning Process Online Course using HP Tuners is a companion course, designed to provide a supercharged experience for every student who is learning at home.
This course will teach you a step-by-step tuning process and help you to identify the problems with the Virtual Torque system, which include Driver Demand, Peak Torque, and the Virtual Torque maps. You can tune with confidence knowing that we have developed a safe, effective and repeatable process for you to follow.
In 10 comprehensive sessions, you are guided through the materials as you learn a step-by-step tuning process for Gen V engine GM vehicles.
Your Companion Course includes:
Almost 10 hours of teaching and lectures
Over 20 additional resource videos
Bonus session on Basic Engine Fundamentals adding additional teaching on internal combustion, airflow, induction, fueling, spark, and knock
Exclusive access to our private online support community
Certificate of Completion
Multiple articles, quizzes, and practical self-assessments

Detailed Information
The new GEN V ECM builds upon the methods and processes of its predecessors, which made use of Fuel, Spark and Airflow models to run older engines. The new GEN V ECM is torque based and you must understand the torque model and how it functions to properly tune this ECM for your vehicle's modifications.
The R&D Team has spent countless hours needed to have an in depth process that covers how to identify the problems with the Virtual Torque system, which include Driver Demand, Peak Torque, and the Virtual Torque maps.
We've created checks and balances using the new HP Tuners VCM Scanner's Math functions to ensure we are getting the torque numbers right, by comparing real torque numbers we derive from airflow and estimated torque from the Virtual Torque system. We call it a sanity check, which helps the tuner find the problem or ensure it is correct.
The processes we include describe the potential problems you can have (throttle closures, spark reduction or increases) and how to identify the source and then fix the source of the problem(s).
What can you learn with our course?
How to adjust the direct injection fuel angle (injection timing) for maximum spray time with your actual camshaft timing events!
How to adjust the Peak Torque, Driver Demand and Virtual Torque systems and understand why they behave the way they do.
How to keep the engine running at maximum power safely - with commanded throttle and spark following your requests.
How to adjust Idle for large cams, turbos, and superchargers.
Features of the course include:
The basics of how to use the HP Tuners VCM Suite (VCM Scanner and Editor)
What tables need to be changed for your tuning needs
What the common ranges are for the tables being adjusted.
How the Direct Injection fuel system works
The proper order of tuning, to include Airflow, Fuel, Spark, Torque and more.
