    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.

    Standard disclaimer ... Likely goes without saying, but here goes anyway ... The .bin files I've posted work well for the vehicle it was originally "Tuned" for. Individual "Tuning" results can / will vary. There is always possibly of damage or personal injury. Use posted .bin files at "Your Own Risk".

    Always use a Wide Band Oxygen Sensor when "Tuning". When playing poker, trust everyone at the table, but it's a good plan to "Cut the Deck".

    Considering the expensive nature of building an engine, why would anyone not use a Wide Band Oxygen Sensor when starting up / breaking in a new engine?

    The "Ultimate EFI Modification" is spelled "Tuning".

    Absolutely, was just looking for some place to start with it. Isn't wide band o2 and narrow band offline at first start?
