    Whats your fuel pressure?

    Those fuel trims aren't doing so good, they look super lean.

    Also this tune file is for a 4.8, you'll want to copy over in 5.3 data for cylinder volume, VE tables, idle airflow tables and so on to make it run correctly. Plus go in and disable all your rear o2 sensor codes and yadda yadda. Also check that you have zero vacuum leaks.
    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.

    Yeah, 100psi won't let the injector work right. See what it's like once it's back down to 58ish.

    i'll bet the return from the regulator is blocked or the regulator is hooked up wrong.
