    Base Tune Help L29 0411 Swap

    I could use some help setting up my base tune for my 0411 swap on a stock 1998 L29 454 manual 4x4. I used excel and converted the MAF and VE table from the black box to the 0411 pcm. They look to be a good starting point. Now what I could use help with is the injectors settings and spark table.

    Now I have the injectors data from the black box. It has some of the data needed but not all of it. What should I use when I don't have the data? Current injectors are 17113221. It also uses a manifold reference fuel pressure regulator. Should I just upgrade to stock ls1 injectors since the values are known? Below is the injector data from the black box.

    Now for the spark table I'm going in blind. I can't use the black box table since it goes by map instead of cylinder airmass. Should I use a L31 (5.7) or L18 (8.1) spark table? Now ideally if I could get a tune file from a L21 (7.4) it would answer a lot of questions, but I have not been able to fine one.

    So here is what I have got so far. MAF and VE tables changed. I also did a segment swap for the 4x4 and manual trans. Still need injector data, a timing table and to shut off some engine codes.

    There's a 1998 454 Manual and a 2012 GMPP LSX 454 file on the repository. If you need help transferring that stuff over let me know.

    I have not tried to start it, as it is still running the black box. I'm tryin to get a good base tune as I can not have the truck not running for very long.

    SiriusC1024 I have the 98 file and did transfer the MAF and the VE table over. Still need to figure out the injectors settings. Plus find a timing table to use. So I could use a little help. I have not looked at the 2012 GMPP LSX 454 file, as I did not think it would translate over being a gen 4 LSX.

    You can use the 496/8.1 2001 file as a reference. The spark maps for that engine in 1998 match your 454 very closely.

    For the injectors those are stock right? Copy-with-axis the Flow, Offset, and SPA values into yours. Interpolate between to fill in the blanks.

    Yes they are stock injectors. I added the injector data that translated to the 0411 and interloped the missing spots. So what should I use for the "Default Injector Pulse", "Offset vs. Volts vs. VAC" and "Makeup"?

    I also added the timing from the 496/8.1. Here is the current tune state.

    Default Injector Pulse & Min Injector Pulse = Min PW.
    Offset vs Volts vs VAC = Offset Mult. It'll be the same for every column kPa since the fuel pressure is vacuum-referenced.
    Makeup - leave it alone.
