Base Map Questions

I will be using a challenger 8hp70 behind an 6.0 LS with an LSA supercharger--what's the best base map to start with as I noticed the ones on this site all BMW based. I am new to the 8hp swap stuff, so if there is anywhere I can go read about using turbolamik let me know!


Build: 75 camaro with 6.0 LS with LSA blower--probably makes 550-580rwhp.
Will have 3.23 rear gears eventually but will start with 4.10s until I know the swap is working.
Holley Terminator Max X(DBW and Trans Control)

Coming from a 4l80 so I'm excited to have more gears!

Thanks!

Base maps are issued for the BMW E90 because the gearboxes are most often tested on such cars. When you install the gearbox to the e90, just download the file, upload it and everything is ready.

The initial settings are very simple and it should take about 15 minutes and the transmission should be ready to go.

Start-up requires us to obtain torque because the entire control algorithm is based on torque. There are two options, it can be received via CAN or calculated internally in the TCU:
-Most factory ECUs send torque and then you need to set the car type (if supported).
-Most standalone sports ECUs do not send torque, so the TCU can calculate it itself. For this it needs TPS, RPM and MAP signals. These signals can be fed to the TCU analogously or received via CAN bus. If we receive the sensors via CAN bus, then all we need to do is write a torque map. If we receive signals analogously, we need to calibrate these sensors first, which is also very simple.

If this is the first time, it is worth contacting technical support on viber. Tech support connects remotely and calibrates everything. Technical support is free.

Thank you for the reply! That makes a lot more sense. I'm hopeful I can get holley(terminator) can working with it. Do you know if there's any info anywhere that I can read through regarding holley can and turbolamik communication?

Currently. We were able to get through to Holley. For details, please contact the technical department. Support is happy to provide new software for testing. It is not yet publicly available because it is in the testing phase.
