    224r tune for 5.3

    I am looking for a tsp 224r tune that someone has made so I can compare it with the one that is in my truck now.

    Thanks,

    Erik

    Ok. This is the tune I paid for locally. I have not yet logged any data or started adjusting anything yet. I am trying to gain all the knowledge I can beforehand. I am having an idle issue with it and I feel I didn't gain very much from the tune after the cam swap. Erik's Truck.hpt

    your commanding a 12.2afr at WOT, your VE table needs to be calibrated, your MAF looks stock too. What idle issue are you having? Get a log of what its doing...that's the only way we can help you out. Are you still using your stock injectors?

    Ok, will try to log as soon as possible. Yes I am still using the stock injectors. The idle issue is when the truck is started, hot or cold, 90% of the time it dies. When shifting from drive to reverse the idle drops very low and begins to surge until it kills itself. According to the guy that tuned it, he "tuned the nuts out of it." I downloaded a stock file from the repository and compared and saw little to no gain like you are saying above. Without logging it though, I will not be able to tell if this is right or not, so as stated above I will try to log asap.

    Thanks man,

    Erik

    By what your saying it needs some more idle airflow.. Once I get home I'll post up a config file you can use to get your idle right with minimal surging. If you have a wideband start logging it to get your fueling correct.

    Any luck on that config file? I have been logging a little. No steady state just plug in fire up and go to the grocery store kind of logging.

    I have an 07-08 truck intake and TB. I think it's an 82mm. I also have the torque rush box for it.

    Looking at the tune you sent me. Why so much WOT timing? 28* seems like a lot to me. Maybe not? Not trying to piss anyone off, just wondering. I run 93 non ethanol gas.

    low compression 5.3's with stock heads keep makingpower at low 30+ timing, the same with the gen III 4.8's.

    go ahead and run the file if you like, i've tuned countless 5.3's .

    Gotcha. Like I said not trying to aggravate you, just trying to learn myself. I will mainly be using your file for comparison. I want to be able to honestly say I tuned my truck and it made a difference. That being said I will try your file as soon as I get time, but I don't want to be labeled as a tune beggar, so it will probably come out of the truck before the day is over with and will only be used as reference.


    Thanks for the help ,

    Erik
