    High RPM at startup

    5.3L LM7 that's been rebuilt with BTR stage 2 cam. When I start it the rpms jump up to 1800-1900 and quickly come back down within a few seconds. How do I fix that? I've increased idle rpm slightly, settles in around 750 right now.

    Is it a DBC or DBW? Does it have a stock throttle body on it?

    Subtract 5 g/s of airflow out of your startup airflow table and try it again.
    Also need to make sure that your IAC count is in the 40-60 range at a warm idle in park.
    Finally, make sure that your minimum airflow table is properly populated.

    That table is set in lb/hr which is actually about 3 g/s in the lower temps. Thats probably fine. His friction airflow in the lower temps is 10g/s, thats where i would cut first to see if it helps

    I'd double check for vacuum leaks too.
    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.
