For a calibration as such, it is best to have a dyno tune done specific to your vehicle.
We have had customers as far as canada down to where your from, come in for a dyno tune. Long drive, but after its all said and done it will be worth the hassle.

Spending a day or 2 taking the car to a decent tuner, will certainly be a lot cheaper, and less hassle AND yield good results, than dicking about yourself.
More so when you dont know what you are doing, and are just throwing money away at every opportunity thinking it will magically give you something in return.
You could probably have saved thousands doing it properly first time around.

I've been nice about the tuning situation down here.people keep saying how good there tuners are,i believe you!
if had my choice i would have listened to Charlie Williams @RPM motors three months ago and shipped it to so. cal.
i know i can not afford to spend $500.00 for a tune,$1500.00 plus to haul it out of state,hotel,time off work for my wife; who would insist on going.not to mention three boys 17,20,and 24.that are involved in this deal.
diablo said buy there hand held,i did
diablo said buy a CMR,$300.00+(still have to dyno)
the forum said by mail order tune,i did(sent wrong one)lost stock tune
the mail order said buy hp tuners,i did(waiting for contact return)
hp tuners said go to school,$800.00++
look, i have been at this sense December.i am learning a allot of rely cool stuff including how to type.
i just need a tune off the repository from a running and driving ls6,MAF,42# tune.
i can get dyno time for $45.00 hr.another friend who has hpt ls1 all years,unlimited.he does not what to feel like he'll owe me a motor if it pops.so he will not even try.
thaks guys ,i know you all mean well

Have you tried XXX in Pensacola? John is a good tuner.
I just re-read your setup. You have a TT kit and only 42lb. injectors?????
You should atleast upgrade to 60lb. injectors also.

Mike,
As for your problem, I think some more info might help people assist you in getting your car going. Unfortunately, I don't have HPtuners. I'm an EFI live type of guy so I can't even look at your tune. My tune I had on my stock LS6 and 8 psi supercharger w/ 42# injectors won't even help you out since that was with LS1 Edit (a long time ago). Are you running speed density or with a MAF? You mentioned the battery with your PTK kit. How is your alternator charging. I spent 2 years trying to get an alternator to charge correctly on mine. Just got it worked out 2 weeks ago (needed a smaller pulley and found a bad regulator).
Derrick
That depends completely on how much boost you run and # of cubic inches. I ran my 427 with 42# injectors initially with only 8 psi with no real problems. I upgraded since because of safety and increasing the boost to 18 psi.

Actually , your injector size is related to how much HP you make, or want to make, not the boost you make! Injectors don't care about CI. either.

sounds like you could account for the injectors in the IFR table....have the PE table kick in pretty early at like 60%tps....add fuel to the pe vs rpm table and be damn close. Not the best way but easy.

I'll run it by the boys,I've received one other tune and it is logging good.remember this harder to learn than Spanish.i am the nuts and bolts,son SAM 17 means well,son Michael very quick study,and Gunther my 19 yr. old computer science major friend who has had hpt for two years.one other local has hp and thats all we can find around these parts.20/20 hind sight would'nt do it any other way.we will be the game in mobile .might even set up shop.retirement sucks after ten years
I had to waste 5 quarts of mobile 1 friday. I installed some seimens Decka 55# injectors and scaled them with the excel spreadsheet. I use HPT to tune my car and on the IFR table the text definition of the table says its in g/sec & in the right corner of that same dialouge box it says the min & max values are lb/hr. I went with the g/sec and entered those values when really the table is in lb/hr, well the car refused to start.
I baisicly told my car it had 8 pound injectors so it made the actual 55# injectors give it all they had and it flooded the cylinders. I changed the settings and it ran crappy, then thats when i got the bright idea to check the oil for contamination and boy did it smell like gas. Hope I didnt tear anything up, it only ran 10 seconds like that but man was that a hard way to learn a lesson. I asked HPT and they said it wasnt a typo but the g/sec statement should be removed from that scroll text.
I think your IFR table may be way off too to do something like that.
