Tuner's notes

What to know about tuning the Corvette C8 Stingray (LT2)

Stock figures are with the Z51 package. The LT2 is closely optimised from the factory and the E99 ECM has to be unlocked, so a tune alone on pump fuel is worth little. Gains come once headers, an intake, E85 or heads and cam are added.

Before you order

What you need to tune your Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray (LT2)

  • 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 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray (LT2) 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.
  • Your stock file and a datalog. The stock file is what we tune and your backup; the datalog shows us what your engine is actually doing, which is what makes the first file right.

How it works

How a remote Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray (LT2) tune works, in four steps

  1. Read your car. Save the stock file from your Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray (LT2) with VCM Editor and log a short drive with VCM Scanner.
  2. Order and upload. Ordering is free. Tell us your mods and what you want from the car, and upload the files. The clock starts when your stock file lands and hash-verifies.
  3. A tuner builds it by hand. Your tune comes back within three hours. Six tuners work three shifts, so the desk is staffed around the clock.
  4. Flash, log, refine — then pay. Flash it, send a log from the drive, and we revise it if needed: 2 revisions are free, each back within three hours. You pay once the tune is delivered.
