No acceleration even at WOT I just completed installing everything on my 92 Z28 6.0 LQ4 swap, recently I took the PCM to a tuner to change it over from DBW to DBC and figured I'd take it for a test drive today. I could not get it above 20 MPH the car just wouldn't accelerate at all, even at WOT it wouldn't move the car it just sounded like it wanted to turn off. I am running open headers and the idle is also rough. I'm not having any vacuum leaks, I've also put new spark plugs in, and I'm not getting any codes when i scan it. I'm not entirely sure whats going on here any ideas?
Also My current mods are:
torquer V4 cam,
Ls6 Intake,
! 7/8 headers,
241 heads,
4l80e trans.
PCM and harness is a 0411 out of a Yukon Denali and added the IAC and TPS wires for DBC

When i had it sent out the first time it had the tune for the cam and the rest of my mods put in it. I couldnt get the DBW stuff to work so i changed it over to DBC, I took the PCM to a different tuner this time to change the tune over to DBC and he didnt ask for any of my mods so i assumed he didn't need to change anything over but the actual OS

Well dang I didn't even think about that, i assumed the values stayed the same and you could just change it to DBC without deleting anything. Im going to take it down there to him tomorrow to fix it then thanks guys I'll update the post tomorrow when its done.

So i came back form the tuner today and it had a p0121 code because apparently the tps was disabled in the tune so he turned it on i still wasnt getting any codes when i scanned it so i found it odd. Howeber I'm still getting the same issue as before any other suggestions?
Edit* I've also checked the voltage on the TPS from idle to WOT and there's no jumping of volts and it's reading .49-4.40 so that seems to be fine at least

Something in the tune is still seeing the DBW file, and putting it into limp mode.
Maybe, have the "tuner" start w/ a fresh cable drive tune?

Might just take the car to a dyno to get it tuned so they can see whats happening in real time but its $500 and might be a while before i can do that. So I did a fuel pressure test and im getting 60 psi at idle, but when i give it gas the fuel pressure goes from about 60 to 40 rapidly also when i turned it off it held pressure i will post a video of what its doing

after watching your vid, doesn't appear to be fuel pressure regulator related like mine. it's being controlled or 'throttled'. i'd lean back to something in the pcm is my guess.

I decided to scrap the local tuner here since he cant seem to figure anything out, so I sent the PCM out to jessie at wait4me performance he did the initial tune and offered to do a free re tune on it. Should be back in a couple of days, the first tune he did on it was good so hopefully this cures what ails me
