f1 start up

I have a 2000 trans am (new 6.0L iron block) and just put a f1 pro-charger on and stated it today, it ran for a few min and we turned it off to check for leaks. when i went back to start it, i could only get it started by full throttle (since its a new engine i dont want to break it in that way. Im thinking i need to get it tuned?? had a mti-x1 cam in the old engine and had it tuned b4. I have 80lbs injectors now w/ the procharger..(there is fuel at the rails) does anyone have any ideas of if this could be my problem or any ideas??

Does anyone suggest a shop in Connecticut to get a tune? (Jannetty Racing,???)
Also wondering where people put the tee into the vacuum hose for the boost gauge??

Thanks guys

Tune is off and its getting flooded from the big injectors... WHen you put the pedal on the floor and start it, it shuts the injectors off and lets it clean out.

I have to occassionally do the same on my car if it dies for some reason other then key off....Still working on the tune in mine.

The injector info you put in HPT for those injectors may not be right. We just figured this out today on mine for my 103#s.

Get a good tune and it will be a lot better.

if the injectors are that far off, you may try lowering the fuel pressure down quite a bit so it will run without flooding, if you have an adjustable FPR.

Go back to the injectors that you have a good tune for, and then leave the charge pipe off the blower, or just leave the belt off and drive to get it tuned.

Once you are at someone who can tune it properly, swap the injectors out, and then flash in the correct tune and reconnect the blower.
