    Then it will actually run fair. It will take a tune to wake up though. Not a lot of lift, but enough duration you may need to bump idle.

    The timing tables is a very important parameter. I'm not sure which tune I posted you are referring to, if the posted tune has the stock Vortec timing table from a Vortec black box PCM it will work better than the stock TBI timing table.

    Typically the stock Vortec timing table can be improved when tuning.

    I have been searching for the post with the tune but cannot find it, I have it on a pc at home. It was one you said you tuned for just a head swap and removed egr, AIR and disable lean cruise so it could be used as a base tune.

    This one maybe??? I've cut and paste known Vortec/LT1 spark tables into my tunes. Not perfect but gets you started.
