Maybe the intake is not sealing up at all to the heads. . .

Maybe.

Try opening up the throttle blades. The IAC passages on the LT1 were never designed for the cam and the IAC maxes out. Open the throttle blades with the set screw a bit to help it get the air it needs for idle. This is very common on the LT1's.

Yes, ignition issues can DEFINITELY cause big problems on driveability and power. I often find plug wires pulled off on the dyno, or melted wires. Make sure when you put them on you get that good positive CLICK when you press the wires on the plug.

That dyno tune will not fix your problem if its a vacuum leak. The tune does not include any wrench time, Or diagnogstics on the motor.

You said tuner in atl correct? are you near atl? There are a lot of us near atl.
Where are you located?
