Default Heads and cam install now truck wont idle???

Hey guys im having a problem with the new 6.0l with texas speed ls6 heads and tsp 233/239 cam that I swapped into my truck.I cant seem to get the truck to idle unless you keep ur foot on the gas and it wont rev past about 3800.I double checked all the grounds they seem to be hooked up.The pcm was tuned by texas speed.Im guessing it has something to do with the 5.3 to 6.0 swap I used my 5.3 intake...Im stumped any help would be great Thanks

maybe try a different tune, try a wheatley tune or nelson tune, both do good work. was the texas speed tune tuned for the cam and heads as well?

Either that or you got your timing chain off a notch?

You will need HPT or EFI live and a 12 pack for your new buddy. I think a Tech2 can do it also.
