    2011 Silverado 5.3 to 6.0 swap... HELP PLEASE..

    Dropped a number 7 LS7 lifter in my built 5.3 and lost oil pressure... Recently dropped in a fresh LY6 and 6L80 with a Billet converter and the typical upgrades...The 6.0 has new internals, BTR Truck Norris Cam, long tubes, off-road Y pipe... I need help tuning the transmission and engine... I'm having some very stupid problems and trying to work out some bugs... Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

    Post up your Tune (Read from whatever ECM you are using)
    What did the LY6 come out of? I did a quick search and seems it only has 29lb injectors.

    Everyone here says that with a Cam you will max out those injectors...

    Eh... Gen4 29lb injectors aren't as much of a problem, it's the non-flex Gen3s that have 25lbers (and especially 21lb in the early models) that are quick to get all used up.

    I though 36lb was preferred

    29s should be good for 430-440hp at the crank, maybe a bit more. The Gen3s are out of injector if you look at them funny.

    I also need help with my transmission... Billet single without stall converter.. Boost valve.. TCC Valves.. Sonnax 4-5-6 Piston... Raybestos Steels and Clutches.. upgraded 1-2-3-4 Piston
    I'm unsure about the tuning everyone is talking about with only commanding lockup in 4 5 6

    This is how to set convertor to lock 4 5 6 only.
    You need to change your Cylinder Volume For 6.0

    What problems are you having?
    Con you post a log file.

    I changed the number of cams from 0 to 1 and I believe that's the reason for the P0010
    I Bumped up the range for the misfire count and also changed the MAP from fast to Slow sampling and haven't seen any current misfires on my scanner but the codes remain
    The rest such as the brakes is my main problem.. I have chased every ground and even replace the fuse box due to corrosion...
    I will try to log a short drive tomorrow
