3800 06 and newer pcm's

[1quick]

I was just wondering if anybody had any more information on the subject than what I have gathered.
What is the big difference between an 05' and 06' grand prix that you cant use the current tuning softwhere to tune it. and I was also wondering did anybodys 04' or 05' grand prix come with remote start from the factory




thanks

06's use a CAN Bus that is different than the previous years. You can pretty much give up on DHP offering anything for these cars. HP Tuners is working on it and that's what all of the vendors are waiting on as that's how most of us create our PCMs.

CAN stands for controller area network. basically, rather than the pcm, bcm, ddm, ipc, hvac module, ect...all working indepently, these modules all communicate on one, high speed network, and use (in most cases) the BCM as a 'gateway' module. meaning it can be used as both high speed (can) and gm lan (low, old style networking).

in lamens terms, in order for hp tuners to be able to tune an 06 gp, it will need to be able to communicate in CAN, and probably w/ the bcm as well. that would be pretty cool, to be able to create custom setting for the bcm too...

I researched everywhare that I could yesterday, and I think that I have found some very good info. If what I have in mind works then lookout for the fastest 06'+ grand prix in the world next year or untill hp tuners cracks the can pcm

in the world? be careful man, withing tuning, the car will have a tough time making more power safely then what you've already added...

if you need a hand with any wrenching, give me a call

I will find out tomarrow for shure, but I dont think tuning will be a problem, If what I am trying dosent work then this car will go no further than a stock pully and a cold air intake, and I will find something else for next year
