    Looking for some guidance after cam, lifter, pushrods, 850CC injector and LSA install

    Hey There everybody.
    Had this L79 6.0 aluminum block, l92 heads, Long tube headers with true dual 2.5" exhaust running in front of a 6L80E for a few years on my own tune and have been totally pleased.
    I an currently installing a BTR phase1 PDS cam, BTR behive springs, titanium retainers, LS3 (valley cover (DOD delete), 850cc matched injectors, new Mellings high pressure pump and a LSA with ZL1 lid.
    Now normally I would start check oil pressure and fluid levels and run at 2000 to 2500 RPM for 20 to 30 minutes then shut down and let sit overnight (thats how I was taught)
    However never having done a conversion to supercharger what should I use as a startup/break in tune? Obviously it will go to Nickey or some reputable tuner for the initial tune but I want to have it running and baseline debugged for them so dyno time is not wasted on troubleshooting those embarrassing things I missed.
    Where to start?
    What is safe to run before actually tuning?
    Want to run in the cam and lifters without incident.

    I would get with your chosen tuner and get them to provide a start up tune.

    I hope your matched injectors have good data with them. It seems like the term matched is used when full data is not supplied.

    I'd go even further than that and say get with your tuner of choice and buy whatever injectors he/she/they/them recommend.
