I put a 99 5.3L in my 1973 chevy, Im running a SM465 4 speed and 208 T case. I used a 0411 ECM and harness from an 02 6.0L truck and a 02 5.7 manual camaro tune file. So theres my parts list. Ive been driving it like 6 months and it works ok but it doesnt seem like it has the power it should and in 3rd gear it falls flat out on its face at 4800 rpm. I have a dakota pulse generator for VSS input but I dont have a clutch or brake switch hooked up yet. Ive found it only reads the base spark table and I think thats my 4800 flat spot but I dont know how what I need to do to make it read the high/low spark tables. Also it seems to run like crap if you lug it down, just stutters. But it does run decent and it gets me where I gotta go, just needs a lot of refining. Sorry for the long post but any ideas would be great, it gets exhausting trying to solve it on your own. thanks

Post your tune and if you can post a log too, that way will be easier to get help. Try this one:
