Default Identifying tuning changes

Hi Everyone,

I just purchased a hybrid that has a 99 LS1 in it that has been modded. The car does pull well but leaves a lot to be desired with the way it idles. Being new the LS1, GM ECU and EFILive software that came with the car, I'm looking for a place to start. The mods that I have identified/been told about are Absolute Speed Stage 2 5.3 heads, TR230 cam, Fast 90mm intake & TB, Sanderson 1 3/4 block huggers, 2.5" exhaust up to the Y then 3" to the back of the car. The car came with another ECU which looks also to have been modded as it has a cable coming out of it with a switch wired into it. What I'd like to know is should I attempt to reload factory settings before trying to adjust the idle situation? Is that even possible? Which ECU should I be working with? I can get ID numbers off of each and post here if that will help.

Oh and BTW, I have tuned before but my other car has an Electromotive DFI. This will be the first time attempting to mod a factory ECU.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Joe

Thanks Steve. I did find the list for stock tunes but I still have a question. Is there a list somewhere that identifies what ECU came from what car so I am sure to be downloading the correct file? I'll go back to searching.

If you download the tune off the car it will say what OS it is running in the screen
