    The right path is to not try to create a ghost cam tune.

    Just bump up the idle adaptive torques to something in the 20's or 30's. It will do what you're looking for, though I think it sounds like crap. You can google all kinds of youtube folks doing this within HPT if you want specific instructions.

    Regarding tuning your 5.3 for performance- what mods do you have? Is it an auto or manual? What vehicle? Need some general details here to help.

    I have a 2017 1500 silverado 5.3 with stock headers 5.3 has some work done to it nothing major. got a K&n intake new 6l80 attatched to it automatic and it has some tunes but for now until I make my own tune for it is bone stock compared to the rest of the tuning world.

    a ghostcam, it doesn't necessarily have to be a ford to be made, maybe a ghostcam with a single cam doesn't sound like a ford with a ghostcam, but it can sound as aggressive idle as possible

    No you can’t… sounds retarded as hell making spark bounce 25+ rpm swing positive to negative to make the idle rom unstable and doesn’t sound like a cam anyways

    I have achieved many ghostcams with rpm error, you just have to know how to do it correctly

    What you call desirable, I’ll call trash….
    People want a cam sound, put a damn cam in
    Don’t be a poser
