post this in the PCM section and or Internal Engine section. I do not know.
Yep....112 LSA usually need a tune. Warm starts are a pain.
I had a cam installed and I got and LS1 Edit tune. The car needs more air in its closed loop system (something like that). Also some people drill a little bit bigger hole in their throttle plate instead of a tune. Others mess with the TP sensor instead of a tune.
Also, one of the tech guys on here said that stock injectors are usually good up to 450 RWHP, but I don't knw for sure.

tune Yes you will need a tune. I'm surprised you don't have a ses code thrown.
I put a 226/226 578/578 cam in mine and had problems on start up. Took a few times to get it right but ls1 edit can do it all
