LB7: New to tuning, looking for more than McRat 20-20

[Inferno]

Hey,
I'm new to the forum, so first off- Hello, I'm Jared.

Now, for my questions:
I'm tuning my 03 Dmax with HPTuners, and I used the McRat 20-20 tow tune for a short time.... now I'm in need of something more.

I read in another thread that i can run my PW up to 3300, but I know that I'd need to compensate by adding boost and timing. I've seen people reference a "boost table", but that was with EFILive. What's the technical name of this table/where can I find it on HPTuners?

Secondly, What's a safe limit to turn the timing up? I know that increasing my timing will increase emissions (but i really don't care :rofl, but also lower EGT's.
Basically, what I'm looking for is a good write-up on how to tune my LB7, but I have yet to find one.
Thanks!
-Jared

Use Joshs timing calculator and that will give you a good idea of where to set timing

3300 is a pretty big shot.....youl need a lift pump and a trans

watch your rail pressure


As far as boost I dont know anything about HP tuners but it is a lb7 so the tables dont really dictate what the turbo does it is more related to the fuel and timing

A banks waste gate is nice or pppe boost valve

Maybe you should pm Trentnell. He used HP tuners and could help you a little.
