    Please review my tune

    Posted over on tech but no feedback, so thought I'd try here.

    To bring everyone up to speed here's what I need help on. The car is a stock 6.0 LQ9, stock injectors, stock 4l60E/no stall, SLP Lid, Pacesetter LT/ORY no Cats, 3in all the way back to a muffler, 3:42 gears, 17x11 with 315s in the rear.

    The ECM I picked up a few years back was believed to be stock but isn't, seems it was tuned previously and I have no idea for what combo. My question is will the current tune be too much for my stock set up and possibly hurt the motor? Below is First Scan of the ECM, Base tune from the shop, and a limited drive scan (car is waiting to be inspected so it limited my driving abilities). Thanks in advance!

    If there is any information I've left out or that is needed please feel free to ask, as I am just beginning to learn to tune.

    No feedback or advice? I'm curious if running a stock tune would be safer until the car can be tuned the correct way.

    There are a number of things I'd change in that tune.

    1. Idle transitions are rough.
    2. ve/maf is not dialed in. Could be due to poor injector data.
    3. Spark is overly aggressive and has rough transitions.
    4. Transmission settings could be better for the application.

    Though this strategy is extremely helpful, I'm trying to breathe new life into this forum....you know, "Lead by example".

    You do an excellent job, sir. Everytime I search it's either yourself, dsteck, or edmac with the answers I need!

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Yes I am a huge fan of the search button and have learned lots because of it. But this is more of a question for mild to seasoned tuners to prevent harm to a other wise stock car. The tune was not done by myself and the guy I got the ECM from had no idea what was done to it or even if it worked. My post was simply to answer if a stock tune would be safer than the current tune or would it be close enough to the set up I could run it with no harm. I'll likely be doing a mail or email tune by Frost to current the issue.

    Thanks once again Rinkrat, guys like myself really appreciate the help.
