About This Product
LSA Supercharger Tune Add-On
This custom remote tuning add-on is designed for customers installing an LSA supercharger on a naturally aspirated GM LS-based engine. Common applications include adding an LSA blower to a 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, or 6.2L truck engine, LS swap, Camaro, Corvette, SUV, or other supported GM vehicle that was not originally supercharged.
Your tune will be calibrated around your actual engine, supercharger pulley, injector data, fuel system, MAP sensor, intake, camshaft, transmission, fuel type, and intended boost level using supported HP Tuners controllers.
This Is a Tune Add-On
The LSA Supercharger Tune Add-On is not a complete standalone tune by itself. It must be purchased with the correct Custom Remote Tune for your vehicle or engine combination.
Select this option when your vehicle is being converted from naturally aspirated to an LSA supercharger setup. If the engine also has an aftermarket camshaft, select the correct camshaft option in addition to this LSA add-on.
Built Specifically for LSA Supercharger Conversions
Adding an LSA blower to an engine that was originally naturally aspirated requires much more than adjusting a few wide-open-throttle tables. The calibration must be configured for the new airflow, boost pressure, injector flow, MAP sensor range, fuel system, torque output, throttle behavior, engine protection, and transmission load.
- Built from your actual factory read file and complete vehicle information
- Boosted fuel and spark calibration for your specific engine combination
- Injector data setup using your supplied injector manufacturer and part number
- MAP sensor calibration for supported 2-bar, 2.5-bar, 3-bar, or equivalent sensors
- Airflow calibration for the LSA blower, intake, throttle body, and MAF configuration
- Idle, startup, cold-start, and drivability support for stock-cam or cammed setups
- Remote datalog revisions based on your actual vehicle and operating conditions

How Remote Tuning Works
- Purchase the correct Custom Remote Tune and add the LSA Supercharger Tune Add-On
- Send your factory read file and complete modification information
- Your initial calibration is personally prepared by Jason
- Flash the initial tune using supported HP Tuners hardware and software
- Record the requested idle, startup, cruise, and part-throttle datalogs
- Boosted logging is introduced gradually after the basic calibration is verified
- Revisions are completed using your actual datalogs until the supported calibration is dialed in

Forced-Induction Responsibility Notice
This is a performance calibration service for supported LSA supercharger conversions. You are responsible for ensuring your engine, fuel system, injectors, fuel pump, MAP sensor, intercooler system, belt drive, transmission, cooling system, spark plugs, wiring, sensors, and supporting components are properly installed and capable of safely supporting your intended boost and power level.
Tuning cannot correct mechanical failure, inadequate fuel supply, incorrect injector information, boost leaks, belt slip, excessive intake-air temperature, overheating, poor wiring, failed sensors, or improper installation.
J.R. Jones Racing is not liable for engine failure, transmission damage, drivetrain damage, controller damage, failed flashing, incorrect customer-supplied information, inadequate supporting modifications, unsafe operation, or mechanical problems that existed before or during tuning.
Boosted Datalog Safety Notice
Do not perform wide-open-throttle or full-boost testing until specifically instructed. Initial datalogs are used to verify startup, idle, fuel trims, sensor operation, commanded fueling, fuel pressure, and basic drivability before higher-load testing begins.
All boosted testing must be performed in a safe and controlled environment. A chassis dyno is strongly recommended for higher-power combinations.
Secure Flashing Reminder
Always read and flash the controller using a stable wired connection, proper HP Tuners software, and a battery charger or maintainer. Do not flash with low battery voltage, unstable laptop power, weak USB connections, or unsafe vehicle wiring.
The customer is responsible for having the correct HP Tuners hardware, software, credits, vehicle licensing, and stable equipment required to read, flash, and datalog the vehicle.
