Good evening everyone! I'm new to tuning and my first swap is gen v. Ill be appreciative of any pointers that helps me along this tuning journey. Lt1 6.2 10l90 holley mid mount, holley oil pan, holley manifolds and exhaust, aeromotive fuel system, speartech harness, cruise control and shifter, dakotadigital, cold case radiator, lt5 cam, LME timing cover and cam gear. Thanks in advance

Just going off of the last one of these I did and not looking at your tune or log. Make sure to start with the correct initial cal. Most swap companies will send you an ecm file with a Denali truck cal. This is because of the ride control stuff missing however this has the wrong throttle controls in it. You can talk to Will_974 to get the lt1's settings (both throttle area and pedal progression) from a camaro with this transmission. I recommend installing a zl1's transmission cal and then killing the tcc below 8th gear. Dial in the MAF. You will need to shape the airmass torque model to get it to idle right especially for any cat test or evap test that can't be turned off. Make sure fuel pressure is low enough and set to not use a fpcm. Tuned right this setup will make an older car even with the stock lt1 cam run damn good... Also make sure you have good brakes now that I'm thinking about it

Just looked at the tune file, well a couple of things. Looks like you already have the correct OS, so you have that going for you and you already killed the fpcm. I will also note to make sure and kill the bcm comm codes and other module comm codes not only in the ecm but in the tcm too otherwise the tcm will set codes and have problems. I always forget the tcm side when I'm doing one. You will need the tcm unlocked to do everything to it.
