    Oh I see,
    I didn't have any problems achieving target AFR's although the VE table at light load <35kpa and up to 1600rpm wasn't very linear. Over run throttle was fine so i didn't change anything with the offsets etc .

    More than Happy to help with tuning advice for a similar conversion but we're talking 2 days paid work here and several promises to the missus who never saw me .......
    The vehicle which had the LS3 transplant did have different diff ratio of 3.9:1 peculiar to the GTS in the Holden range. This bumps up the torque reading a lot compared to the other dyno graph titled "Mixed Holdens" where I think they all run 3.43 diffs. Please correct me if I'm wrong people. It doesn't have much effect though on the end power reading.

    Mixed Holdens dyno graphs shows a series of EFILIVE tuned LSX engines with bolt ons, some without, to compare vs the LS3 done on the same dyno under similar conditions.

    Not at the moment, the customer absolutely loves the car and drives it all the time which upsets his missus who never gets to drive it , lol.
    No complaints such as stalling or poor fuel economy so thats good.

    He will definately get us to put a cam in it after 6 months so will update on this thread then

    cheers,
    Mike
