Swapped both trans sensors and got the ECM back, throttle is fine so that's good. Wondering if anyone else can provide some feedback on their initial tunes. It starts great and cruises great but doesn't seem like it has a ton of hp when I get in throttle from stop or while cruising. I suspect this is do to the tune provided needs dialed in. What do you guys think?

I just got hp tuners today (going to be a steep learning curve I know) and hope to make some adjustments street tuning it (nearest dyno is hours away).

If it's a bone stock LS3 with no modifications... Cam/headers/injectors and so on then they should have been able to provide you a good tune. If it has mods then I would agree that the tune will need some work.

Everything is stock besides long tubes and cold air intake. Won't even chirp the tires.

I got hp tuners today so I installed and downloaded a stock vette ls3 tune. Over wrote my tune with it and shift parameters for trans. Night and day difference. Left rubber for almost a half block. Can't believe PSI was that far off. I used hp tuners for 30 minutes and did a better job.
