So my dads buddy has been buggin me to put a little 50hp tune on his 06 LBZ 5500 motorhome. this is the first tune ive built from scratch for anything besides my own LB7 but had brian helpin me out along the way. well added a little pw (at 180mpa and 120mm3, uS was at 2000), put timing up to 18.5* (more than that made it rattle), and bumped the desired boost tables 10%. i also turned the EGR off and made the parameters so it wouldnt turn on (he put a EGR blocker on). I also turned off the brake torque management and noticed that the torque management tables made torque reduce to 400 at 1400-1600 rpm so i bumped them up to 1100 like it was set at from 1800 on up. i have a good understanding of EFI Live and what tables do what and how it all works so this is why i attemped it.

My problem is, when i loaded the tune and ran it with a log, i noticed it would only give 65mm3 and 1100uS at WOT and wouldnt go any higher no mater where my foot was on the pedal???? Did i miss a limiter table somewhere maybe? there is definitly a few more tables than a LB7 lol. ill post up a log tonight of it. I also didnt have a chance to try to log a stock tune in it as the shop was still finishing some work on it and its headed to the body shop today so i cant get back in it till next week.

I know i didnt give enough info to get a true diag to my problem but i also couldnt gather enough info before i had to give it up so if any of your gurus have any ideas for me to check on the tune, please shoot them this way. ill be happy to post the tune tonight as well.

Id run a script or at least look at the tune from a stock 360hp lbz.That motor is detuned to 310 right?

I'm surprised your dads buddy wants more power though. My dad says he'd rather have better brakes than more power in his lmm rv lol. I think his is only 330hp stock.

i assume its a 310hp but i dont know. the OS is 6698. Haha he wants the power cause he can. every vehicle he ownes is chipped or done up some way beyond stock. hell, he is puttin a lift pump, shimmed the FPRV, put a full 4" exhaust on, deleted the egr, and added gauges :D. The factory trubo brake on this thing slows it down FAST too. well, that or im jsut use to not having one on my LB7 lol
