How to tune Cam with LS1 Edit? Ok guys, I just got a comp cam 228 XE-R (228/228 .588/.588 112) to go along with the rest of my mods (see sig). I have LS1 Edit, but as of now I do not have auto tap. At first, the car was idleing great, but then I realized that my egr gasket was on crooked and sucking air in, so I fixed it, and now the car won't idle at all, it constantly stalls and I have to keep my foot on the gas to keep it from stalling. I'm not really sure yet how to use edit, so I would like to know if anyone could help me out and explain what I need to change in edit and what to change it to to get the car to idle. Also, like I said, I dont' have atap yet, so can it be done without it? I also heard something about drilling the TB, is that necessary when you have edit to tune it, or can I get it to idle just using edit? And if I do have to drill the TB, what is a good size to start with? Thanks for any help guys, it will be greatly appreciated, cuz as of now, I can't drive my car, and it's my everyday car so i'm kind of in a bind here! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: How to tune Cam with LS1 Edit? Here's some good information to get you started:

As for the TB hole, some say to drill it out until your IACs are back down in the 30s, while others say to just adjust the idle speed up in LS1edit and just let the IACs go up. I think having Autotap or EFIlive will be necessary for using Ls1edit, otherwise you would be just doing things blind which could lead to an engine melt-down. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
