Just because your tuner sucks doesn't mean you should never have to drill the tb.

to a stock 5.3 ecm running this set up
in other words im running 91 octane fuel and spent 300+ $ for this to be comparable to the stock 5.3 ecm?
ive had this truck since 2002
stock 323 cu in 9.4:1 compression no headers no cam
Stock 364 cu in 10.1 compression headers and trick flow cam 216/220
and the 5.3 ecm is comparable to a "tuned" ecm to run this?
the idle is running about the same as the "tuned" ecm as far as drivability
in the wal mart parking lot
Im thinking it shouldve been 300+ dollars spent elsewhere
maybe the diablo programmer as compared to these "tuned" ecm to run my little
cam, 6.0
set up?
now the 2nd tuned ecm is throwing the p0452 code which will not let the fuel pump work
damn im frustrated right now
i wont respond to sponsor feed back till i hear from them from the voice mail
i left
i sure hope they make me smile instead of frown

i wasnt referring to your tune, except for the part where i mentioned that you shouldnt drill your throttle body.

i was just correcting your incorrect theory that a throttle body NEVER needs to be drilled. in some cases it does need to be drilled, although 90% of the time it's not necessary.
