    Swapped a motor + a turbo

    I recently swapped a 6.0L LY6 into a 5.3L 2008 Silverado single cab.

    I have removed the VVT from the new motor + I installed a Texas cam 220/220 along with Trick performance 76MM single turbo.

    I'd like to know where do I start in tuning ? since this is my first engine swap tune..

    I'll be pulling in the stock 5.3l tune and work from there..
    what are the main parameters the MUST be changed in order to start the moter ?

    Thanks.

    The displacement. You have to let the computer know what has changed. things like injector data, and basically all of the tables need to be modified. But based on what I've read around here, with the MAF and the correct displacement. You should be able to start her up.
