    Gen 5 Viper Tuning...

    We're in the very early stages of beta.

    Typically, we do these kind of tests in house or with known shops before announcing or releasing anything. However, because there are so Gen 5 vipers out there, I figured I'd just post here.

    Here's what we need.

    1 person that owns a Gen 5 viper.
    - Does not need dyno access.
    - Needs to already own and be VERY familiar with HP Tuners.
    - Needs to have a spare Gen 5 PCM that they have already tested in their vehicle.
    - Needs to have access to a dealer or dealer tools to perform throttle relearn and perhaps other special functions.
    - Needs to have direct and continued access to the car so we're not waiting for test results.

    What do you get?
    - A free license to tune your car, worth ~$1000.

    If you meet all these qualifications and would like to possibly have the first tuned Gen 5 viper (outside of Arrow/Dodge), please e-mail us at support.

    - Keith @ HP Tuners

    Hi Keith, I sent you the ECU's and would absolutely love to help you with this, but I'm not familiar with using your software. Let me check with Nineball he may have more experience with your products than I do.

    I know HPT software, it is pretty simple once you've used it. My car doesn't have any modifications, so any gains might be minimal. Andy, we could always coordinate this through KP Racing, Joe is the HPT wizzard. Bernie and Morgan at Tomball Dodge are also nearby, could assist with the dealer stuff. Cody and his car would be perfect for this, his car has headers and such. Might even encourage him to keep the car.

    Let's do it Tony! Keith that's three Gen V's with performance minded guys in close proximity. I'm sure we'll all do everything we can to help get it to market.

    BTW Tony, Torrie picked 30rwhp and 35ftlbs on his stock gen 4 using Keith's software. Which ever two of us don't BETA with Keith will still purchase a credit to do ours anyways.

    BTW Tomball can get you a spare gen V ECU. Sending you a PM.

    Keith,

    We at KP Racing would love to do the testing on this for you. We have 5 Gen 5 vipers that we have the ability to use for tuning. I sent you a email letting you know what we have car wise. Give me a call as i would love to speak with you about the Gen 5 vipers!

    Thanks,

    Keith

    if I can help, I currently use HPT and have a modified G5. In addition, my car has a wideband and it is permanently installed.

    If you are interested I have some dragstrip logs with multiple pids.

    Just be sure to contact support @ HPT if you guys think you are a candidate.

    We just need one.

    All we want to test is basic changes to make sure the car reacts to them, and continues to operate as expected. I believe this will be a pretty simple process without any hiccups given how close the Gen5 controller is to the Gen4's... so we'll just want to test raising the idle, changing the spark, just basic things.

    Once that test passes and the car continues to operate, well open beta access up for everyone. At that point, we'll have a basic parameter set similar to that of our Gen4 offering. If any customers find any limitations we may then dive further into the code looking for parameters to solve those issues.

    These are things I did on my own personal car for the Gen4 product.

    Also, if you send in a VCM Suite Info log of your gen5 to support, that will also help us gather the needed info.

    Seriously, this is business. Talk and ideas are nothing. Good intentions are nothing. Dreams are nothing. Action is everything. Everything.
