I'm surprised you made it from Texas to Georgia on one of Allen's tunes. Lets just say he puts a LOT of faith in knock sensors. I decided to tune for myself a few years ago BECAUSE of him. My first clue that I didn't want him tuning my motor was when he cut the wires to my electric fans, then asked if my truck normally ran with the temp gauge pegged. My second clue was when he cut the vac hose to the bypass on my whipple SC and asked why I only ran 4"s of boost. He is nothing more than a hack with ls1edit.

I'd pulled all the plugs last night to look at the 'lean' condition affect on them. Imagine my surprise when these plugs with maybe 20 to 30 minutes of run time looked black, heavily sooted and wet. That's why I thought it might really be a bad O2. So, I used my LT1 edit and changed Bryans Turbo tune to SD and uploaded it. Now it runs so much better. It still seems to be fairly rich. I shut it off then tried to crank it but it was hesitant to start. Did you guys have to do any attendant changes to the overall tune other than just specify it's now to be SD? Also, I've read this thread and wondered, what all is involved in migrating to a 2 Bar or 3 bar?
Thanks!
LT1? cz28.com has a good thread about doing SD on a LT1...bit different than doing it on a LS1

Changed the camaro to 2 bar back when the 2 bar OS for HPT came out. Also just converted the GTO over to 2 bar.
