About the remap

Stage 1 optimization for the Buick GL8 2.4i 184hp increases power from 184 to 197 hp (+13 hp, +7%). Naturally aspirated petrol engines have limited scope for power gains, but optimizing ignition and fueling maps delivers a smoother power delivery, more responsive throttle, and a noticeably more pleasant driving experience.

The remap is performed on the Delco E39A ECU (engine code LE5) via the OBD2 diagnostic port – no ECU removal required. Results are verified with a dynamometer measurement.

Every vehicle undergoes full diagnostics before and after the remap. We keep a backup of the original ECU calibration and guarantee the option to revert to stock settings at any time. JVK PRO is a professional chip tuning service in Riga with 16 years of experience.
