Good morning all. I'll soon be swapping out the stock factory 5.3L LH8 in my Colorado with a 6.2L stock LS3 build. Only variance from full LS3 is I will instead be using the stock L92 truck intake manifold, along with the 87mm throttle body my truck was equipped with, for simplicity.
Upon doing the engine swap, I also purchased a new E67 ECM from the dealer, and I will first dealer program it to my 5.3L with the correct OS/cal from the dealer. From there, I wish to flash this E67 with a best-fit program, possibly from our repository, to at least have a base cal to start and run the engine. I can fine tune later, but I am looking for something that will get it at least up and running/driving. I will can and will buy an LS3 throttle body if this is a significant change upon being able to do so. I just bought HPT, but I am not fluent enough yet to know if a tune file from a stock LS3 with a different ECM (E38 or whatever) is flash-able into an E67 and work.
This is my daily driver, so I hope to perform the swap and be driving by Sunday night of the weekend I do it. I would appreciate any advise or recommendation from the tune repository of which ones may be a decent start point for what I wish to accomplish. I won't be doing any extended WOT pulls until I have my AFR gauge installed. Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate your help.
Thanks a bunch,
