2012 VE SV6 LFX supercharger

[SV6 325]

12:1 WOT is what is published, I have just installed and test driven then flown out to work. When I get back to Oz I will get it on a dyno to confirm

How much did it cost all up?

Not having a go at you mate, just suggesting after probably spending a lot on this setup it would be a shame to cause damage by not being tuned correctly.
As mentioned, when possible, at least throw it on a dynamic for a once over.
& a power figure of course...

Definitely get it dyno tuned properly.

Published afr's mean nothing champ.
Different car.
Different fuel.
Different altitude re: pressure

LFX engine is the same as Camaro , as is the chassis. I think the ECU was the same but the US tune would not load into my ECU.

camaro runs a single wire serial data cable
VE commodore runs a dual wire CANBUS.

what makes you think the ecu's are the same?

new fun fact:

HPtuners supports the 10-14 Camaro 3.6, but only the 05-08 Commodore Sedan 3.6....

Yes OP, the 2012 LFX ecu was an E39, while the 2013 (and perhaps the 2014 from the sound of it above?) is an E39A... In the beginning it seemed to have been untunable, but EFI Live recently added support for it, and it sounds like HP Tuners is very close if they haven't already since the last time I checked. Looks like IPF, and maybe(?) Trifecta have no issues with releasing a custom OS.
Keep IPF tune, log it yourself / send back to base for peace of mind, then run it up on rollers using EFILive when you want more and see the result.
Brilliant work.

How much did it cost all up?

Kit 6095 US
DHL express 450 US
Customs 900 AUD
SPS procedure 150 AUD-- but now I have done they have the tuning file

The E39 with my OS and ID where listed as supported by HP tuners. Everyone I spoke to about tuning if IPF could not load their tune pointed me to HP tuners.
