New to HP Tuners - 1st Initial Tune, Log, would appreciate some feedback!

[BanditDave]

Hey Guys,

I am nuts about the whole pro-touring aspect of the muscle car hobby. I pretty much do everything myself except paint and tune. My last build, a '78 Trans Am with a slightly warmed LS1/4L60e was a blast but I had to sell it fairly quickly to pay for my wedding.

Anyhow, I got another project shortly there after - a 1969 Olds Cutlass which I swapped an LY6/built 4L60e combo into.

Here's what I have as part of the build:

- 2008 LY6 6.0L Converted to 24x reluctor signal with Lingenfelter box
- 100mm Lingenfelter MAF - MAF parameters added
- Lunati Cam 65602 - 277/288 Adv. 227/238 @ .050, .583/.600 lift 112/108 LSA/ICL
- Lightly Ported L92s
- LS3 intake and injectors
- FAST 90mm TB
- LS3 Camaro Manifolds
- 2.5" x-pipe exhaust
- 3.31 gear 27" tire
- ~2600 Stall converter

After the initial firing it was downrigght PIG rich to the point it fouled out plugs. After that I figured I would purchase tuning software because I gotta learn this sometime!!! I initially found that the base tne given to me by the company I bought my harness from completely missed the mark on the LS3 injectors. I went in and recalibrated the injectors and after a refire it is a LOT better!!! I think it is still surging a bit at idle (if that is the proper term) because it will idle steady then speed up....then settle down...then speed up. When I blip the throttle she seems to hang a bit before it comes back down.

I posted the tune and the brief log. If anyone could offer some tuning advice or even a tune to help i would GREATLY appreciate it.

Trying to figure out how to load the CSV file but I have the original log attached...

Thanks!
Dave

I appreciate the reply!

BTW, I would also pay for a mail order tune if I know it is a from a good source!

Thanks,
Dave

You didn't post a log, you posted a config file. Your logs will have a .hpl file extension.

I sell mail order tunes. If you're interested, send me an email.

Right now I'm set to Wide Band this thing. I set it up real rich to be safe while I dialed in the cruise and timing stuff, but wondering what I should aim for here. I'm setting it to 12:1afr for now... hope I'm in the right range here...lol

Sorry about that...I was having issues posting what I had yesterday. Let me see if I can get something posted.

Give this a try...I apologize for crappy it may or may not be...I literally just turned it on when I fired the car up. I was just so happy the car ran as before I couldn't even keep it running. The base tune I had was HACKED together to say the least. I would definitely be interested in a mail order tune if you wouldn't mind walking me through email what you did and why you did some of hte stuff. Of course I would pay for it accordingly.

See if this file helps!

My email is [email protected]. Please let me know what other info you need from me and I will get it for you to the best of my ability!

Your best bet is to just contact edcmat-l1. There's so much work that needs to be done, that it will probabaly take you months to get your car running decent.

I am in contact with Ed however, I'm not sure I totally agree it would take months to sort things out. If that is the case then so be it, as I am very interested in learning how to tune properly, not just being handed a tune without any knowledge of was done.

Thanks,

Ok, maybe that was a bit of a stretch, since I don't know how much time you have to devote to tuning... What I was trying to say is that you are going to be spending A LOT of time tuning it, and not much driving. Whereas, with a professional helping you, you can be out on the road enjoying your car in much less time.

so you would trust edcmat-l1 to tune my 383 lt1 with 24x conversion, AFR 210 competion heads, FIC 2000 injectors, E85, 8.1 compression, twin 72mm turbos, sd tune. and i also got told you cant tune a sd tune by mail order is that true
