    LS3 engine is LS376/480 from GM performance parts.
    Transmission is auto

    So you're using your LS1 PCM, right...?

    Did you swap out the LS3's 58x/4x reluctors for the LS1 24x/1x reluctors...?
    If so, did you correctly repin the cam sensor extension harness, and are you using the correct 24x crank sensor...?
    If not, are you using the LPE converter...?

    Are you running a manifold-referenced FPR or an un-referenced FPR (and did you measure rail pressure)(and did you edit IFR table accordingly)...?

    LS376 has bigger injectors, did you edit the IFR table, and the other injector tables also...?
    Did you copy various tables from the LS376 E67 tune file to your LS1 file...?

    LS376 has a moderately hot cam (480 HP), did you account for this in the VE tables (Primary, Secondary, Cranking)...?

    Are you running with MAF...?
    If so, you may need to correct it (or verify that it is correct).
    If not, do you see an immediate MAF DTC, if you don't then the PCM will be using some calculated MAF value (which won't be close).

    Did you log any pids when you ran it...?

    Do do get any DTC's...?

    Your attached bin file is in HPT format...

    Did you correct IFR, VE, MAF and other tables in your 2002 tune...?

    Yes for the IFR have not really had a chance to get maf correct and ve, but even with it not perfect it should still spend the tires, right

    Sounds like you're overfueling, possibly from IFR table being too low...

    are you running a manifold-referenced FPR or an un-referenced FPR...?

    did you measure rail pressure (with reference removed)...?

    Post your tune file, and any logs you have.
