Default HP gains from injectors and tune

2003 ECSB silverado 1500. Has a mild built 6.0 and 4l80e swap that I did with a 3200 stall converter, long tube headers, tsp224r cam, full exhaust and an intake. Engine is 11.1:1 compression. Stock intake manifold and stock iniectors.

Tuning is done by EFI live, basically a tune I have been tweaking myself (not a professional by any means). The injectors are running 95% duty cycle. My track times show 300whp, but people tell me that this setup (with bigger injectors) should make around 380-400whp.

I have a set of deka 47lb/hr injectors here ready to go. But have been hesitant to spend $500+ to have a shop tune this thing. I'm curious if you guys think there are potential 80+hp gains available from these new injectors and a good tune? If so, I'd be all over getting it done. The truck does run great, but I feel like it should definitely have some more in it. Gears right now are not what I'm focused on, but will be later.

I'm sure this tune is extremely half assed. A good tune by itself would probably wake it right up.

Unless you are running super lean, injectors by themselves wont do anything. Do you have a wideband on your setup? Are you basing your track times on ET or MPH?

Im assuming you are using efilive? If you had hptuners I was going to suggest I do email tuning and could tune it for you over email, but I am only set up to do HPTuners.

Yes, I have a wideband. I see 12.0-12.4 WOT. I'm not good enough to really dial the AFR in so I left it as is since I know it is safe. And yes, I am using EFI Live.

I was basing hp off of the MPH. I trapped 91mph.

I am also at 4300' elevation with an average DA of 7000'. I'msure that isn't helping. Either way, it needs a good tune.

Could you post up your tune?

Here is the tune. The tune originally started out as a tune for the 5.3 that was made by a buddy several years ago. I then made a few tweaks to it when the 6.0 went in. Like I said, it is probably hacked since I am not a tuner by any means and neither is my buddy

AFR's are good and the truck does run decent, other than cold idle is a little choppy with this cam because I don't know how to tune for it. Anyways, be gentle.
