    Trying to do some tuning and can't seem to go into any boost at all.

    Spent all day setting this up and can't seem to go into any boost whatsoever just wondering if there's a setting that's off. If you guys can take a look and help me out, I would appreciate it and thank you.

    Looks like something is wrong with the throttle body/blade, etc. How about describing what the build is? Vehicle, swapped, mods, etc. Would make it a little easier instead of guessing.

    I'd bet if it's an aftermarket throttle body you have the cable in the wrong hole.

    Is this a DBC from the factory? I thought this vehicle was DBW?

    Well this is a p59 swap into 2003 chevy Silverado LQ4 408 DBC now, Procharged F1A-94, 102mm tb.

    It rev normal in park and will rev to over 5k. but while driving is where the issue comes where seem to lose power if you try to push the pedal to half way, but only when in drive.

    In park there's no load on it. Reving to 5 grand doesn't mean anything.

    Have someone sit in the driver's seat and put the throttle pedal on the floor. Engine not running of course. Then try and open the throttle blade more with your hand. I'll bet your throttle cable is in the wrong slot of that 102 TB. Happens all the time.

    I don't see anywhere in the log where you tried to give it much throttle at all. Did you post the wrong log?

    Yep.. I wonder if he has a cable setup issue. Verify the throttle body is opening all the way

    How did you achieve 100% throttle opening though?

    I'm sure it was. It's the only DBC tune that kept itself from going over 50% throttle.

    There's nothing "in the tune" that will keep a cable throttle body from going wide open.
