Default 6L90e tune and cooler.

I am swapping a L92/6L90e into my 67 Camaro. I have a Pro Torque 3000 stall 10" converter, and have put an aggressive cam (most I could do before fly cutting the pistons), and LS3 intake. and a VVT delete kit. I am also putting Twistmachine paddles on it as well.

I am having a hard time finding anyone willing to tune my TCM. Does anyone know of someone who will bench tune it, or be willing to sell a tune that I could have someone up load onto it? The company building my wiring harness uses HP Tuners, so it would be great to install a tune when they do the PCM.

I am also looking for a tranny cooler, any suggestions?

Thank you for your help!

Bob

First of all I can give a tune that will work if HP Can Modify the Engine Cal.
Were do you Live and who at HP is working on your wiring harness?

I live in MN, but an sending my TCM to PSI Conversions in NJ. (If I can get the TCM out, it does not seem to want to let go of the bottom of the tranny). I appreciate your help!

Lower the whole VB. Two bolts go in the side of VB.

That makes sense. I didn't know if it would be a bad idea to do that? I suppose it shouldn't do any harm?

Thanks

You are welcome. It is relatively easy to lower the vb assembly.

Thanks for your help, I did get it out.

What would you recommend for a tune? I have been told that an aggresive tune can kill the 6L's (closer to stock settings are safer). What's you opinion? Have you tuned a lot of 6L's before?

What's the 6L90 out of. There are different OS in various 6L90's. I had a serious setback tuning the 6L90 in the TBSS because I thought I could just rewrite it with the 6L80 from the other Trailblazer. Do you have tuning software?

We did a best of 13.98, but this was a good run.

I was wrong, I have a 6L80e. Zero Gravity Performance is helping me tune it. Jim Miller was a GM Cal engineer for 25 years, and knows his stuff. Perhaps he could help you?
