    2002 Chevy Camaro Z28 Tuning Help

    I have a 2002 Chevy Camaro Z28 that I just put a BTR LS1 Stage 3 Cam (231/244 .630"/.615" 112.5+2.5) in with supporting mods. Now I'm starting to tune and wonderings if anyone has a tune I could use for a baseline for idle and so I can start to tune because I'm struggling too. I'm completely new to tuning, any Help is greatly appreciated, and thank you in advanced.

    Post the tune you have now.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    Auto or manual? If auto I hope you put in a minimum 3600 stall converter with that cam.

    See if this will get you idling. Just some basic rough adjustments for that cam size.

    I put this tune on it but it was about the exact same as it was before is there something I could be doing wrong?

    You need to post some data logs so we can see what is going on.

    We also need to know what supporting mods means. Is that headers and full exhaust, stock intake manifold or aftermarket? Stock injectors or aftermarket?

    Because there is no way stock injectors will support that camshaft.

    2002-04 Z06 makes 405 HP with the same injectors. My own 99 F-body made 400RWHP with those 02 injectors and ran high 11s with a 224/228 cam shifting at 6500 rpm. They are rated at 28.7 and a little higher in the Vettes. While they are at their limit there they will work.

    You need to get VE correct. The difference between MAF and DynAir shows that the VE table is being referenced. In fact, you will have better results running the SD OS.

    Over/underspeed idle spark corrections are too high. Definitely don't want 4 degrees for 0 rpm error.

    Injection Timing Normal table should be adjusted for your cam.

    And why is Torque Management>Maximum Torque>vs. RPM zeroed? Set it to stock unless you have a TCC with a multi-disc clutch.

    Because it is a F-body not a truck/suv. That is how the stock table is on those.

    Seriously, tune the VE table. Look what happens at the idle dip. See the difference in MAF and DynAir? See what the O2 traces are doing?
