Tuner's notes

What to know about tuning the Cadillac CTS-V Gen 2 / Camaro ZL1 Gen 5

Stock figures are for the CTS-V; the 2012-2015 ZL1 is rated at 580 hp / 754 Nm. The LSA's boost is set by its pulley rather than an electronic bypass, so a tune alone is worth only modest gains, and a smaller pulley soon runs into the limits of the stock injectors.

Before you order

What you need to tune your Cadillac CTS-V Gen 2 / Camaro ZL1 Gen 5

  • An HP Tuners interface. We recommend the MPVI4. You do the reading and the flashing yourself, on your own car — our step-by-step guide covers buying and setting it up.
  • HP Tuners credits for the engine ECM. Reading, logging and editing are free; you only spend credits the first time you write a tune to the car. Check the exact number for your Cadillac CTS-V Gen 2 / Camaro ZL1 Gen 5 (LSA 6.2 supercharged) on HP Tuners' supported-vehicle list before you buy.
  • A laptop with VCM Suite. HP Tuners' software is a free download once you have an account.
