i just built a 5.3 with a lunati 55003 cam, 2400 stall, ling.heads ls6 cnc ported, fipc k&n,jba headers,pully,i thought it would run a lot better than it does...?????im thinking i need tunning from ed wright what do you think?????
What are the specs on that cam? You may need more stall to get into its powerband.

I'd steer clear from Ed Wrong. FarmTruc on here does tuning, Westers is supposed good, but I'd just tune it yourself to get exactly what YOU want. I'd say your TqMgt is acting up and you are just not setup for your mods.

I'd for sure get a better set of headers, TOG or ASM for sure.

well give farm truck a hollar. this is the game i have been playing for like 4 months now. everybody is booked. your fastest bet prob. is to talk to farm truck. i am trailering my truck to louisiana to thunder so they can do mine. i have even talked to ed wright about trailering my truck to oklahoma but he had like a 3 month weight. also thought since i have edit just renting a dyno and paying like mti to do it with my software. i have been calling around for a while and trying to decide what to do. but my apiontment is oct 10. not to far away so i can weight. another option is mail order tune with the tuner of your choice. normaly like a 3-4 day turn around. like i have ed wright tunning temporary so i can get around and am seeing 8* of knock so i want a dyno tune to get it right on the money.

Lose go to MTI and get Jason to Tune it....The regular Ls1 edit is what we have on Kevin's truck, you know the extended Cab with Flames, that was right on you on 288....lol....We tuned Kev's at the house by looking at some elses tunning equations
