I have a friend with a 03 VORTEC 6.0 that put a cam in, different ratio roller rockers, ported the mass airflow, and a few other little things. He gets missfire codes and a ck engine light, and he has asked me to help him if i can with efi live. Should i just turn off the codes or should we tune it for more power potential? Any body have a clue how to do this? Your help would be appreciated:)

I think the hot ticket to tuning a gasser is the wideband o2 sensor...
I'm kind of surprised he's getting mis-fire codes, as they are all coil packs on each individual plug, right?
Could the plugs need a new heat range (doubtful) or gapped wrong?
