Scratch my last remark on the coil grounds, they're run properly.

I added a ground strap to the alternator body in an attempt to get the voltage up.

I just generated a trigger log, it's attached.

i saw the log, but a trigger log is of little use a tooth or composite will be more useful

Well, I went out to generate some logfiles and couldn't get it to idle. (Don't have cold enrich tuned yet). I took it for a drive to warm it up, and the issue was completely gone! It was probably just fouled plugs all along...it was running much better. I autotuned it for about 90 minutes and couldn't reproduce the problem.

I still have the wastegate wired open, but I worked my way up to 8psi today while tuning, hah.

I'm still going to switch to the truck coils, but maybe wait till over the winter if the LS1 coils continue to perform.

u skerred it :twisted:

Tuning anything but idle in the driveway will drive you nuts, and even idle can be a bear until you get in the ballpark.
