Finally got my 68 Camaro LS3 fired tonight. I'm hoping someone can give me a few tips on how to start with a tune that will at least get this thing to the exhaust shop. The combo is a Crate LS3 with a 229/236 cam and long tubes. Trans is a 4L70 but I'm not overly worried about that. I'm mainly asking for help with the initial steps to take on this E38 ECM to get the car up and running as far as idle quality. Right now it just has open headers on it and I need to get it to the exhaust shop to install wideband bung, mufflers etc.
Couple of things I noticed in the few minutes the car idled in the garage:
1. The O2 sensor on bank 1 started out reading about 475mv and went down to reading only 18mv in the course of 2-3 minutes. What could this mean?
2. Both 02 sensors seem to be reading unreliability due to the open headers, sensors are about 2 inches from free air
3. The car had really bad bucking in drive, not so bad in reverse but it will barely stay running in drive with any throttle to it. This is what concerns me.
Any help on what to do is appreciated.
