Default FI Tune

Ive been waiting for a respectable tuner (on LS1 Tech) in Richmond VA for about a month now. I work during the week and the weekend is my only free time to drive up north. Since the beginning of Feb something has came up every weekend to where he couldn't do it . I know this guy does great work but Im tired of wasting my time. I currently have a safe efi-live tune i got in FL, just to get me through the move up here. From what i know its a cos5 i think

I know a full dyno/street tune in person is ideal, but due to being overlooked during the weekends and a local shop (va speed) being ridiculously over priced would a mail-in be safe for what i have done??

truck specs are in my sig...

Mike,

Do you ever get back this way visiting family? If so, I can get you in touch with a guy that does ALL of the LS based tuning in this area. He is the shiz...and can dyno tune. His corvette made 10XX rwhp on E-85 just to give you an idea of his credentials.

Yeah Justin is the man.... I just went up to him yesterday for a tune, we did it all on the street so there's no numbers. I started to lean out past 5k

Got a 5.3 ls6 cam 90mm intake/tb pt67 @10lbs and a 4l80e 72lb inj

You were leaning it out!!! Your not still on the stock fuel pump are you??


Get your fuel issues straightened out and your truck is gonna start to haul *** in the upper RPM's!! That's where you make all your HP, your living off your torque right now, HP is fun too!!

Lift your bed up instead of dropping the tank. It'll take you 40 minutes tops!!!
