Default Tuning Tips
Hey guys I'm installing my torquer v2 cam in my 00' SS this weekend and I'm looking for for some tips on the tuning. I'll be tuning with HP Tuners, however this is my very first guinea pig if you will. I have never tuned anything before that doesn't have a carburetor so I'm looking for some tips on getting the beast to atleast idle right and not die. I'll also be installing Kooks LT's, an ORY, LS6 intake and P&P tb at the same time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ryan

I might be able to get you a starter VE table if you want to go SD.
