    Default HCI LS7 what to do first?

    Hey guys, I just got my car back together. 2006 Z06. The heads are ported Trickflow 260s, cam specs 240/254 on a 114 +3, and a ported MSD intake. Any tips for initial changes to make to get this thing going? I have done some LS1 tuning but haven't looked into the E38 stuff much at all. Any help is appreciated.

    Same ideas:
    - make sure injector tables are correct (including any scaling if you're running out of injector range or MAF range),
    - correct VE with MAF disabled (MAF DTC showing) and CL/trimming disabled,
    - correct MAF with VE disabled (dynamic air threshold) and CL/trimming disabled,
    - setting timing on dyno,
    - steet/drivability tuning,
    - idle tuning.

    See this thread (post #117): E38-VVE-Setup-Guide

    Also, there is stuff you can use from this LS1 thread: Calc-VET-correcting-MAF-and-calculating-VE-(in-single-log)

    Cool. Thank you. Anything i should adjust before startup? Injectors haven't changed so that can stay. I just remember for the LS1 bumping up idle airflow just to get the car running.

    Well that wasn't as bad as i thought. Now if only i could get DFCO to work again. No DFCO MAP table in the E38. I see B2404 (DFCO Airflow Threshold) but.....milligrams?

    B2404: those might actually be in g/s.

    I don't see anything under DFCO/CFCO that would prevent DFCO from enabling...

    do you have the stock tune file to compare against...?

    The DFCO settings are stock i believe. If it were an LS1 I'd assume due to the cam, the MAP may settings for DFCO may need to be adjusted. But thats not really an option here.
