    DBC 6.0L with tr6060

    Good morning everyone,
    I am looking for a solution to my problem. I am building an LSA supercharged 6.0L (LQ9) for my 1956 chevy bel air and I am having trouble deciding which way to go. I need to find an ECU that is compatible with a DBC 6.0L manual tune and 3 bar speed density OS. I currently have 3 blue green connecter ECU's but only one has IAC drivers and it is from an express van. so far the options I have read about include writing a 2004 GTO OS and changing all engine related tables to match the 6.0L, finding a matching manual OS and segment swapping the transmission data to go with the existing engine data, or swapping to a red/blue ECU and using a 2002 truck 6.0L standard tune. I have a few stock tunes pulled from different vehicles that I will include below. one is the truck tune I mentioned above, another is a newer truck that is manual but DBW as well as a 2004 gto file and the file from the escalade donor. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!2002 6.0L nv4500 dbc as found tune.hpt
    kinsmens 6.0.hpt
    2004 gto dbc 5.7 manual tune.hpt
    2005 escalade as found tune.hpt

    Use a red blue ECM and just use 01/02 Camaro/firebird OS and do the custom 3 bar os

    No just find a truck computer if you need too (more of them), 3 bar table is larger anyways due to space problems with 3 bar on p59…

    Would I be better off using a truck 6.0L manual tune? Since the camaro is 5.7L?

    That’s so minor and doesn’t matter… Any competent calibrator can tune around that
