I belive you just take the factory lb7 o.s. and convert it to a dsp5 through efi.

I looked through EFI and don't see any options , the DSP 2 OS i have is a different OS , I guess i can use the DSP 2 OS i have , but was hoping for the 5 so i can play with a few tuning things on the race truck with out having to reflash after every pass . Any body else know the answer ?

You jut convert it to DSP5 and it gives you a new OS im pretty sure.

how is the conversion done ? even if you have a link to efi's site or instructions .

I don't think all of the 01 OS can be converted to DSP5 though. I know on mine I just took a stock OS and converted it over to a DSP, but once it has been converted via EFILIVE to say a DSP2, you can't then convert it to a DSP5.

EDIT: Heres a DSP5 of the one I'm running now. This is the OS that Tony reccomended to me awhile back to run, I just converted to a DSP5 and ran the DSP5 script over it to stock.

You have to convert a stock OS to the DSP5 OS. First thing to do is make sure you have the latest version of the program. Then:

1. Open a tune with the STOCK operating system
2. On the Details window (the first one to open), click the Upgrade OS tab.
3. There should be a list of custom operating systems, with the DSP2 and DSP5 in it. If you don't have a list, then your stock OS might not be upgradeable. You can always try a different stock OS.
4. Select "DSP5 V2 Custom Operating System" then click Apply Upgrade
5. It will warn you that the upgrade cannot be undone. Click Yes.
6. It will tell you the upgrade was applied. Click OK.
7. This part doen't make sense, but you have to do it. Choose File then "Save Tuning File As..." (or just press Ctrl+T)
8. Save it where you want, call it what you want, then click Save.
9. Now, EXIT EFILive.
10. Find the file you saved, and double click it (or start EFILive and open it normally)
11. The tune will open, and there will be a bunch of out-of-range calibrations. That's OK, because you now have a DSP5 tune to fill in.
12. Enjoy!

I hope that helps!

EDIT: I found the EFILive document that explains it. However, it is 25 pages!! You'll definitely understand it after reading that, lol.

Yep, that's the file I attached. Although at 25 pages, I like my instructions better :spit:

That was 1 idea i had add was just just run the DSP 5 script but wasnt sure if it would work . Thanks
