    Tuning A Turbo 6.0l

    Hey guys, I am just trying to get everything ready to go before my first startup on my turbo LQ4 that is running a 2bar SD tune on an 02 camaro comp.
    I have a tc76 at 8psi, 2005 silverado 6.0l, TU0 camshaft 216/216 561 114lsa, Aeromotive return style FPR set at 43 psi and vacuum referenced, Mototron 60lb injectors...

    I wanted to make sure my fueling was correct first so I dialed the IFR and I've been messing with the offset table. Does the offset need to be the same accross the board for a vacuum referenced regulator?

    Also, any suggestions on the VE table, I wnt to start out rich just making sure I will be before I dial it back...

    ifr is correct, change your offset to all match the 0 column. You definitely want to take a bunch out of your timing. 28* total timing is ridiculous. Might want to start around 13 or so or you'll just have an expensive bomb.

    Meant to get to that, thank you... It should just be brought down to 13 across the board then tuned back up after fueling and idle is resolved? Do you bring it back up much for FI or do you keep it pretty conservative?

    I start mine at 8* on 6lbs its a stock 5.3, Till i finish tuning the WOT part then i bump it up to 13* of timing felt the power right away

    I will say to start of at 10* finish your part throttle tuning and WOT tuning then bump your timing little by little.

    Its a built 6.0 or stock bottom end?

    thanks for the help, its a stock bottom end 6.0l... i put in 10 throughout the table, wondering can the lower rpms be left alone or do those need to be changed too?

    You only need to set your WOT region to 10*. NOT the whole table.

    ill be using premium pump gas, hope they dont put ethanol in our gas in ks. my tables were modified by a tuner here for my old cam which was a 219 228 .525 112lsa, my new cam is a 216 216 .561 114lsa so would reducing all of the timing a little be a good idea?
