Default sd tune for kytp project

Hey all,
I am just getting into the tuning end of this project along with finishing up with getting the fuel system laid out. I am planning to do a dyno queen run to see what she's gonna do and then dial the car back down to sane levels on the street. I have a set of 90lb injectors (high impedance) that I bought from FIC. My questions are:

I am going to assemble my engine tomorrow. I have a lme shortblock lsx 408 which will be topped with tfs 235 6 bolt heads and will have a kytp twin tc 72 turbo setup (02 t/a m6). How hard is it going to be to tune the 90lb injectors for idle quality. My next question: Is it adviseable to do an initial startup with these injectors and trying to nail a idle tune. I don't want to have the cylinders washed out from the get go while trying to get an idle tune. I live in the northeastern part of Wyoming with absolutely no access to a good tuner around here. Who would you guys suggest to tune a setup like this who has a lot of experience with tuning big high impedance injectors. Another thing I had a question with is should I have went with low impedance injectors rather than high imp. Which is easier to tune the idle quality. Hp goals are 750 - 800 hp on the street. I don't know what to expect on the top end on the dyno queen run but I have been told somewhere around 1300hp. Please give some info guys. I am drawing near the end to this project and the fuel/tuning part of the build is the most important, I think. Thanks Chris

I would hit up Frost ... he will set you up with a good baseline tune then you can tweak from there.... he is verry reasonably priced to!

you can PM him here on ls1tech or got to his site:

well I'm not actually planning on doing any tuning myself initially. I need someone who I can tune it and actually be there (no mail tuning).

The other three people who live in Wyoming can't tune either, so you should probably learn to do it yourself.

PM me if you'd like, we're outside Chicago, have a Mustang MD-1100SE chassis dyno, and have done a number of turbo/SC LSx motors using anywhere from 60-160lb/hr injectors both high impedence and low, factory OS's and stand alones.

I'm originally from Kansas but I moved up here so I can freeze my *** off lol. Hey Mike pm me with some info. I don't know if I'm up to making the drive that far but that might be the only alternative. Thanks again guys. Chris

Hey let me know how it goes Jordan. See if you can find out what kind of dyno it is. I really need to be tuned on a mustang dyno so they can load the turbos while they are tuning. Thanks dude. Chris

Its a dynojet but there are other places that he can use for tuning. He could find a loaded dyno I know there is one in the colorado springs area and a new one up north towards denver. Im sure he can handle your tune very well, he just put down 969hp and 932tq on his personal car today. You pay the actual owner of the dyno and then pay him for the tune which is very very reasonable. He also dialed in a GMHTP car with 80lb high impeadence injectors that we put in, on the street and dyno in a very quick amount of time. Same car was being tuned by another person and over 6+ months had passed and the tuner could not even get the car to idle right. It was easier for him to dial in the idle with the 80#ers then the 65#ers that were originally in there.
