    BTR Stage 4 cam dead off of idle

    Hello everyone! excuse me im a newbie here to HP spent a bunch of time on binary editor working on foxbodies Installed a BTR stage 4 truck cam into a 5.3 engine. ive set the tune up decently have it idling stable and whatnot. My issue is when I stomp on it from a dead stop the trucks a dog. timing ramps down to 0 once it breaks 3k it leans out and adds timing. im assuming the cam changed the cylinder airmass, take a look and tell me what your thoughts are, anything and everything is appreciated,

    It would be wise to re-tune your MAF curve and VE table. Start there. Wrong airflow tables = wrong fueling calculations.

    Those two tables MUST be re-tuned.

    And just so you know you are commanding and air fuel ratio of 9.4 at WOT, I'm suprised it's not just blowing black smoke out the tail pipe and fouling out your spark plugs. 14.68/1.563 = 9.4.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    the spark tables are quite a bit different from from mine (truck in sig) commanding up to -4 and as high as only +8 from 0.56 airmass at 400 rpm to .80 at 3200 rpm also looks like the RAF and MAF tables arent tuned to yet, i attached my tune file for comparison.

    Thank you for having this tune posted. I have an LM7 from an avalanche swapped into a 5th gen Camaro with a very similar camshaft btr stage 4 truck V2. It gave me an extremely good starting point to tune from. Runs awesome! Tried it out this morning after comparing all last night. Again, thank you!

    Start your own thread with a complete list of parts used, a read of the ECM used, a log of it running, and as much detail as you can supply.

    Unless you converted it to carb and distributor.
