Default Had a little accident while tuning today....

Opps... Tried to log a launch from a stop today, ended smoking the tires and spinning up to 7100rpm and the timing spiked from 26* to 33* Truck seems fine thou, I guess the LS6 springs are a little tougher than most think... BTW it was not intentional, it spun up to fast for the truck to shift normally... Notice how the truck tried to correct itself, notice the 37% TPS....

How accurate do you think those power output numbers are on there? That's a cool touch.

Why do you use EFIlive over HPtuners?

33 is high but not ungodly high. I have had mine around 30 with no knock at 12.5afr but it is back to around 25-27. Why you got the rev limiter set so high? Do that a few more times and that 6L swap might be a have to.

That is very debatable.... The calculations are setup to measure acceleration, so if they are still increasing then your still accelerating(make power) when they start decreasing then you not going any faster... Nice to use as a ball park to setup shift points...

I have both, I perfer EFI Live due to it's tuning layout and scanner, once again that is debateable.... Each one is fucked up in it's own way...

I shift at 6500-6600 at the track, normally i shift about ~6200-6300... When I go back to the dyno I will see where it stops making power...

I just had my truck tuned by BlackBear and it was hitting 55* of timing on a stock tune. I wasn't giving it fuel or anything, why does this make me worry?
