4L60e Tuning How-To + Truck Norris Dyno Tune! Gen 3 Tuning on HPtuners 

Knowledge is intended to be spread.. not held for self gain.

you got it right! Do everything as right as you can.

Finally someone with some good sense about torque management. I have 271,000 miles on my 4l60e. 100k miles with a camshaft and tuned with a wideband. 22k miles with a turbo. A sonnax .490 boost valve and corvette servo helps.

99% of tuners delete torque management and that’s what kills the trans. I went to the track with my turbo gto and turning it off made zero difference. But it did break my output shaft on the second run with it off.

Wish you could look at my tune. Guy that tuned my truck didn’t have a care in the world. Think you would have a good laugh and also be scared.

New to the channel, quality content. Going to start to learn on my 09 Avalanche with a L96 truck norris swap. I have a feeling I'm going to learn alot from your channel, thank you. Have a mpvi3 and credits

Damn that thing is seriously down on power. My Truck Norris suburban made 325/335 on a dynojet, and 292/311 on a mustang. Short headers and catless Y pipe. It made 240/254 on the mustang bone stock.

You, LT, and Richard Holdener are my go-to guys when it comes to the most technical info regarding GMT800 trucks. Keep up the amazing work and it's a crime you don't have more followers!

I just subbed im workin on tuning my 02 suburban now cause the last person that tuned it had it pug rich

Does a 5.3 need a convertor with a truck Norris can upgrade.. 2003 Silverado

🎉great tune up and performance recommendations for the customer. I always thought a good battery and charging system check would be great way start the road tune and compare the live data numbers vs. the dyna tune numbers after as a final check. Good tune under the circumstances for good customer service . Good work!!!🎉😅🎉

New to hp tuners. Trying to figure it out. Got my 5.3 with trick noris cam. Had my tuner do his thing on it but having issues in idle. Mostly in drive. It almost dies about 3 seconds after coming to a stop. If I manually drop shifter down to 3 it’s the same thing. If I drop in 2 or 1 it idles nice. In reverse idles nice. Please help if u can. I can send you my tune file. Take a look if you can and let me know how you can help me.

I appreciate your honesty and passion for tuning. You mentioned that you could teach step-by-step everything about tuning. Well, I'm just getting started with my '03 GMC Yukon XL. Can you teach me step-by-step?

Can I get some help to tune my 2014 6.0 823 heads with 6L90E 411 gears

Why don't you copy the tables/settings into the performance side and only the normal/cruise table?

I would be so nervous doing PCM flashes with a dead battery, you are very brave lol. Great video regardless lots of good info I will be using in dialing in the tune on my truck. Thanks for the awesome content!

Can I send you my computer for tuning? 99 Silverado 6.0 chopacabra cam e fans longtubes headers and 3600 stall . 92mm tb

Man I need help tuning my 2001 gmc sierra 4x4 I have the summit 150-153 engine, cam specs 222/231@.050 .545”/.545” 112 lsa with deatschwerks injectors, part number 35u-01-0044-8, summit coil packs, sum-850504r, msd wires, bbk long tube headers, bbk 85mm throttle body, with cold air intake.. got a new transmission 4l60e from monster transmission with upgraded parts, 2000 stall converter I think please give me a shout asap I’d like to speak with you if possible

A few minutes into your video I went to check my spacer on the truck. Tuner put a tbss intake on my 5.3 with stock cable throttle and one of those adapters. It didn’t have the iac groove but it appears he took a dremel to it and cut it right open… no wonder it idles like hot garbage. Ordered the proper one now!

Exhaust vibrations can also cause false knock as well. Pull plugs to verify

I noticed your long term fuel trim is zeroed out is there a reason for that? Cheers.

Loving this channel man. Great video keep them coming.

Great video! Super excited to learn! Thanks for sharing!

Does that stock 78mm tb take away from the gains from a tbss intake

Ok so what's the idle fix for an engine that does need the larger throttle body due to more extreme engine modifications?

Very helpful video. Music sucks.

Help from Long Island ny. My son and I took our trucks (Silverado with cam head work etc, awd trailblazer ss ls3 with cam head package) to a performance shop out here and both trucks running like 💩. Where you located I will ship cars/ ecu w.e please help us.

What is another option besides hp tuner ? To tune these?

Hey since you've done so many of those Truck Norris cam tuning, what is the correct / best idle rpm for them? I saw in this video around 800-825 rpm, would that cam in 6.0 require a different idle rpm? Thanks in advance!

I wish i could get you to tune my truck

Awesome videos on content that normal people build. I am tuning a 2005 yukon with the truck norris cam and some tsp ported heads with bigger valves on a nice 5.3 bottom end. Everything is going great except I am getting like 150 lbs of torque at in gear idle. Have pulled timing and what not and it still just make a ton at 750 rpms. Don't understand what is causing the issue. Every time I do a truck I learn something new. This one is being a challenge.

Love your content man, good stuff! A quick comment/observation: The only way the IAC port size could act as a restriction(too small on some aftermarket tbs) would be if the actual IAC pintle/seat was capable of out-flowing it, and don't think it could(IAC pintle seat bore would have to be larger than the FiTech TB IAC port, and it has the pintle sitting in the flow). Secondly, (and without flow testing those setups or doing the math, but just visually) I suspect that ~1/8"x/1/2" channel on the ICT adapter probably flows less than the round port on the FiTech TB. In know that the TPS on that tb was clocked wrong so that one needed to go, but I just don't think the tb idle issues you mentioned you've seen on other occasions are/were actually driven by bypass air port size. You can bet GM's supplier made the ports way oversized to minimize machining steps $$ (only the IAC seat needs to be that precise, the bypass ports are as cast -as long as they flow more than max pintle/seat flow you're good), and maybe save a little aluminum cost as well.

Just found your channel thru a comment on a Goat Rope Garage video. Nice. I have 6.0, 243 heads, Truck Norris cam and factory manifolds and cats on my 200k mile Silverado . So ya think I"m missing quite a it not having long tubes? Thanks

Another good one Matt. This answered most of my questions about the aftermarket throttle body Facebook post. Lol Does the paper gasket on the adapter do ok with boosted stuff if we decide to use a stocker on a tbss style intake?

Hey Matt! Im not sure if i missed this or not, but under fuel cut off or DFCO tab, RPM Limits- there is a "bad vss cutoff" set to 5500rpm. Would this have to b3 raised as well? I have a 5.3 turbo 7875 completely stock truck with a 4l80e, followed this video very well, but I seem to be limited at 5500 and bouncing off the limiter... 😅 Im not sure if i should change that above my shift speed, SD 2bar 12psi 10 deg timing 93 pump 😁 Also this is in a 84 crew cab chevy dually. Amazing videos, please keep this up!!

funny. My friend recently bought one of those throttle bodies from Amazon and I couldn't get it to run right until I swapped the original tps and IAC valve from the oem throttle body. Brand new bad out of the box just like most of the sensors we get at the parts stores these days...

That VE is absolutely terrible The spark table is dumb lol. Good work fixing it 🤙🏻

Do u do mail 8n tune

Do you do email tuning

How much do you usually charge to tune a 2500hd like this? Mine is the same as this with the truck norris and shorty headers. What is the most co st effective way to get into being able to tune my own truck? Oh mine does have the 4L80 instead of the 60.

Reason im asking is cause after my cam swap when i go to start the truck it sometimes takes 1 crank and the truck fires up or sometimes it take 1 crank and wont fire let off the key real fast and next crank fires right up. No one can help or give me an answer why. i do notice tps is around 0.8% when this happens and 0.4% when it doesnt. I have HP tuners software 6.0 p01 pcm truck norris cam. Never had this issue prior to cam, and head swap.

Thanks for the video and the transmission tips.

Amazing amount of info delivered.

I would love for you to look at my tune. I have a 04 silverado crew cab with a gen 3 5.3l. Stage 3 tsp cam, 1⅞ tsp long tube headers, upgraded heads. 2800 , some head work. I have no idea what I'm doing with tunning but got an hp tuners just to learn. Truck runs decent just don't have anything in 1st gear. Runs at high rpm but goes nowhere. I'm down for the rate my tune

Are you running it on the dyno in 2nd gear due to the driveshaft speed? 2nd gear is 1.625:1 compared to 3rd being 1.00:1 which would be ideal.

I have 2004 Joe Gibbs Performance Silverado I did custom cam swap more boost. Had a guy tune it and it set for 3 years it now has map sensor code it idles high in gear ect. It be a great vid to do on.

Men I’d love for you to fix my tune in my 2000 Chevy 5.3 btr stage 3 long tubes had a guy tune it and it’s not right at all smell like it’s running rich as could be

I had a idle air control valve that was so dirty that it's stuck in the hole in the tb and when it tried to open i it unscrewed it from the solenoid leaving the plunger stuck in the hole. Talking about idle issues. That will definitely do it. No I make it a routine to pull it out and check it and clean it every 6 months. This was on my daily driver that I used to put about 400 to 500 miles a week on. Retired now and I doubt if I do 200 a week but I still check it.

Could the timing be wanting to be pulled bc it was calling to shift even tho you had it locked ? another question why keep shift lock enabled? Keep up the good content! I lmao at that ve u pulled up lol

Where are you located? I'd love to have you tune my truck once I put the cam in. It's got a tune from a shop but I assume it could be optimized more. Also does the truck need larger injectors with the truck norris cam?

Pill eye for win.... Round eye looks way better then cateye... Personally, not a big fan of the avalanche nose

Where do you get the tunned by bluecat,and how much does it cost

Hey man you do remote tunes? I got a gen4 LS with a truck Norris cam and 6L80 I need tuned in a ‘70 c10. I have hp tuners dongle and software….Houston Texas

Do you have a video on using 93 over 87 octane, just did a build on a 2004 5.3 and currently running 87 and was wondering if going to 93 was worth it

I believe I know less now that I did before. Only admitting to my ignorance not saying you didn't help me realize I don't want to spend money on a programming pc. Nope I'll haul it somewhere. Maybe Nashville it's only a 9 hour drive

Any tips for truck Norris cam on a 02 2500hd rebuilt 20 over pistons everything else stock just doesn't seem to have any bottom end bought the programmed computer from Michigan motor sports then had it tuned by a shop just seems like it should perform better also did egr delete

when you tune a 99 - 02 5.3 for catless long tubes what tune do you have to do, I deleted the air pump and 0'd that table out what else should I do

What’s the best shifting for 4l60e for 2008 Chevrolet avalanche 5.3l stock

is that a nsr cam? your leaving power on the table. that cam can easily carry power to 6500 in a 5.3

if they were symetrical i would be ok with it... maybe.... depends on my mood that day i guess... function vs esthetics vs servicability,,,, but i do agree with ya!

I have a 5.3 with a sloppy stage 2 tryed to tune and bs lol need help in California and i just have that cam

That truck sounds sick!

On 16:13 you are talking about the spark table and timing been over advance. I would like to know about it some more. Do you have a reference video where you explain that more in depth?

Whats the name of your shop?Want to get in touch with you about pricing for tuning.I have a 09 sierra with choppacobra cam.

Do you still offer rate my tune have one that keeps fighting I'm not professional but trying to get this thing figured out

If you drill a 3/32 hole in the large throttle body butterfly idle problem solved.

Do you ever do any coyote stuff or just strictly LS/LT?

Could you take a carbide bit and make the hole bigger on that after market throttle body to increase the size for the air flow to be better?

Which norris cam is in it. And do u need any other upgrades to accommodate the cam. Or is the cam ok by itself installed.

Awesome video bud am running the same setup on mine 2001 same throttle body I keep having issues with the 92mm keeps shutting off once in a while specially when it’s cold do you recommend switching back to the stock one?

How far can you drive after cam swap before tune? Tuner is about 30 mile drive from me.

Sincere thanks for all the info. Are you willing to share your injection timing for the Truck Norris cam?

Do you sell 5.3 truck Norris cam tune/4l60e tune?

Not a chance in hell would I leave my clamps uneven. I’m with ya brother lol

My god, those wheels are hideous.

Fantastic work👍

Awesome video. I would love to send you my tune so you can take a look at it and see what your thoughts are.

He is missing a transmission pan bolt to😂 awesome video

Good stuff bud

Also I live in Paducah. Ky sonl not to far from you.

Is there any way to modify the fitech throttle body in order to accept the correct amount of airflow?

Subcribed! I would love to see you go over discuss other tunes. Great idea

I definitely need help with my tune I’d be interested in sending my tune

What state you in for a tune . Customer should of used chopacobra lol 😝

How can I get you to tune my BTR stage 3 5.3?

Hey, just found your channel and really like your style. Two questions for my 06 5.3L GMC 4x4 crew cab, if going for reliable driveable power would you go forced injection or truck norris with springs and long tubes, and with 4L60E would you recommend a corvette servo upgrade or stock with trans kit or both...thanks for your effort in good content

What to do to the 4l60 to make it last awhile in a truck or ls swap??

The last 01 suburban I tuned with a truck norris cam and long tubes I had making the 1-2 and at 6200 and the 2-3 at 6100 and got a LOT of hate on the page I posted it on. I'm not saying the haters are right or that your wrong I'm just telling the feedback I got from that. The truck has been in service for about 6-8 months now with no issues that I know of.

Shouldve just drilled a hole in the throttle body blade

What did you notice with the incorrect throttle body?

Do you have to buy the 400$ interface?

So glad I found you and thank u for your help

Hey Matt could u plz tell me where ur located for a tune?

Anyway you can send me your scanner layout lol 😆

Good video. Just a tumbled on this and subscribed. Fixing to do a swap. Do you do vats delete and if not who would you recommend. You are probably close enough for me that I will look into getting my truck to you when I get it ready.

new to the channel I would pay you to rate my tune!!

In the past i recall people saying the 1999 pcm’s were prone to false knock. Have you ever encountered that?

is the VE from Dynamic air and VE from BSFC pids on your chartVStime a formula that is already in the scanner or your own user defined math?

Amazing video thanks

Put the weather guard on the front of it 💯
