Start Something... Faster. Reignite the Rocket.
Oldsmobile wasn't just another brand; it was a pioneer of innovation, from the legendary "Rocket" V8s to the high-tech Aurora. Whether you are preserving a classic Aurora, cruising in an Intrigue, or relying on the versatility of a Bravada, your Oldsmobile represents the final, sophisticated chapter of America's oldest marque. However, the factory ECU tuning of the late 90s and early 2000s was designed for a different era—prioritizing soft shifts and passive cruising over the performance these engines are actually capable of.
The Stage 2 SMARTTUNE with AI Technology is the bridge between classic reliability and modern responsiveness. This is not a generic resistor; it is a modern, AI-driven OBD2 module that interfaces specifically with your Oldsmobile’s GM Class 2 Data/PCM systems. It learns the current state of your engine—whether it’s a bulletproof 3800 or a high-tech Northstar derivative—to unlock the pep and smoothness that makes your Olds feel decades newer.
Optimized for the Final Chapter of Oldsmobile Power
Oldsmobile’s final powertrain lineup was impressive but often detuned for comfort. Our AI technology is specifically calibrated to refresh these engines, smoothing out the idle and waking up the throttle response.
-
Awaken the Aurora V8: The 4.0L V8 was an engineering marvel, but it often feels heavy off the line. We optimize the signal to provide up to 50% better throttle response, letting the DOHC engine rev more freely and pull harder in the mid-range.
-
3800 Series II Revival: For Eighty-Eight, Intrigue, and Silhouette owners, the 3.8L V6 is indestructible but can feel lazy. The SMARTTUNE sharpens the throttle mapping to eliminate the "slushbox" delay, making merging and passing feel surprisingly effortless.
-
Shortstar Agility: The 3.5L V6 in the Intrigue and Aurora is a high-revver. The chip optimizes the shift points of the 4T65E transmission to keep the engine in its powerband, making the car feel lighter and more athletic.
-
SmartTrak Capability: For Bravada owners, the 4.3L Vortec needs torque to move the SmartTrak AWD system. Gain up to 28.6 ft·lbs of added torque, which helps significantly when accelerating in slick conditions or towing light loads.
Custom Programmed for Your Specific Oldsmobile
This module utilizes the OBD2 port to detect your vehicle's specific VIN and powertrain profile. It distinguishes between the different GM engine families to apply the correct mapping adjustments for your specific model.
-
Models Supported (1996-2004): Specifically calibrated for Aurora, Intrigue, Alero, Bravada, Silhouette, Eighty-Eight, Ninety-Eight, Cutlass, LSS, and Regency.
-
Engine Tech: Automatically detects and adjusts for 4.0L Aurora V8, 3.5L Shortstar V6, 3800 Series II V6 (Naturally Aspirated & Supercharged), 3.4L/3.1L V6, and 2.2L/2.4L 4-cylinders.
-
Adaptive Learning: The onboard AI processor analyzes your specific vehicle's sensor data over the first 200 miles, creating a bespoke map that adapts to the wear and unique characteristics of your aging engine to maximize performance safely.

-
Reversible: Want to return to stock? Just unplug it. It leaves no digital footprint, keeping your future classic original.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work on my 1995 Aurora?
This specific module requires a standard OBD2 port. While 1995 was a transition year, this device is guaranteed to work on all 1996-2004 models. If your 1995 has the OBD2 connector, it may work, but we recommend it for 1996+.
Does it help with the Alero 4-cylinder?
Yes. The 2.4L and 2.2L engines benefit greatly from the improved throttle response, making the car feel much peppier in city driving and less strained on the highway.
Is it safe for the Supercharged LSS?
Absolutely. If you are lucky enough to have the Supercharged 3800, the chip optimizes the fuel curve to match the boost, often providing a noticeable bump in mid-range torque.
Will it improve my Silhouette's towing ability?
Yes. The added torque allows the minivan to carry a full load of passengers or pull a small trailer with less effort, reducing the transmission's tendency to hunt for gears on hills.
