I agree we should share the tuning tips openly. It can only help us LS1Tech members as a group.
I have found that the FBW throttle bodys will throw numbers all over the place. The F-Body mechanical TB is the only way to go.
Make sure you have more tire on the rear than you need. Start with plenty of fuel so you don't have to add any between rounds. It makes it tougher to dial.
When it comes to engine tuning:
Run good 93 octane or higher fuel
Copy the high oct spark table over the low oct table
Lower the fan settings so they stay on all the time (controls temp off the thermostat)
This also keeps the fans from kicking on/off through the run.
Zero out burst knock tables.
Zero out spark adder tables (IAT, ECT etc)
I reduce my timing a few degrees and lock it in across the board in high load/rpm areas so KR is less likely to step in and hinder consistency if cool down time is limited.
Always data log your car under all condition after zeroing out the adder tables. They add and remove timing at different points. 25* timing works best for our 11 second car. Get the AFR checked and dialed in on a dyno after this unless you have a WB.
I hope this helps.
