    Provide tons of details, like the exact parts you bought so someone can offer advice.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    It?s 2008 gen4 5.3 it has forged bottom end from eagle specialties with Carrillo pistons with and compression ratio should be close to 9:1 and would plan on running only e85 it has a bald eagle boost cam from Texas speed stock heads with upgraded beehive springs, and I do not have any kind of tune built for it right now I?m putting the motor in Saturday and wanted to get a good start up base tune so I can get it passed break in

    What injectors?

    What map sensor?

    Are you keeping the MAF?

    All this type of info we need as well.

    It has 80lb injectors, and it has a wide band map, and I?m not sure about the maf what ever you think will work better

    Who's injectors?

    Did they come with data?

    Wideband map makes no sense. What is the part number of the MAP sensor?

    Feels like I'm pulling teeth here, you may just want to tow this somewhere.

    You'll need to know what injectors they are, the data needs to be correct in the tune.

    The MAP sensor must be a 2 bar or 3 bar MAP so you can log boost. A factory MAP sensor is no good to you if you want to know what is going on.

    Post your file as well.

    And the map was reading boost before so it must have been swapped because we were running the turbo before it blew up and I can find out about the injectors

    There's more to the injectors than their size. Not as simple as telling the computer "hey these injectors flow more than stock"

    Need to know exactly what brand the injectors are. If you don't know, see what numbers or markings are printed or engraved on them. The injector characterization data is a critical part of the tune.

    We need to know the part number on the MAP to be sure 1) it can read boost and 2) the offset and linear values are correct. Posting your current tune may be helpful as well.

    As 5FDP stated, you might be better off towing it somewhere....
