tuning help needed, car dies after wot runs My buddies C5 has some tuning issues. We have an LGM mail order tune in it now.
It has LT's, all the bolt ons, home P&P heads, a LGM g5 cam, etc. M6 car. They also drilled a hole in the TB.
At low idle, the car has bad cam surge at times. After you drive it hard (wot etc), then come out of it, the car will die! This is not good, and downright dangerous at 80+ mph.
Any thoughts? I am familiar with LS1 Edit, but I have never had to mess with getting them to idle well. I've used smaller cams (224's) and f-bodys.
I understand the LCA on this cam is 110.5? I know this would cause it to be lumpier, but it still runs like crap.
What tables should I adjust?
For comparison, my zo6 has a great tune (done in house at ARE). I have yet to see the ls1 file. The cam is bigger (232/236), but also on a 114 lsa.
