Honestly, with a cam that mild in a 6.0, many of those parameters do not need to be altered. Just good fueling, spark, and base airflow alone are enough.

that is not necessarily true, depending on the weight/size of the his converter he will probably have to adjust them.. But since he is getting a tune from Justin, i doubt he should have to mess with much....

Yes. I'm using it as a baseline, and then going from there.

The new tune is in. I haven't driven it yet, but it started right up and idled much better than it has been. I turned the fuel pressure back down to 59 PSI with the vacuum hose off. Is that correct, or should it be 58 PSI?

I changed the Desired Idle Speeds to 600, but it's still idling at 700. Is there another table that affects the idle speed? I did make sure that the idle stop screw on the t-body wasn't holding it open. The bleed screw is closed as well.

What if any Torque Reduction of Limiting should be turned on. I believe most of it's turned off in the tune. Are there any key settings I should have enabled that wouldn't adversely impact performance?

if you have a built trans you can leave all torque reduction off. It's purpose is to reduce strain on the drivetrain during shifts.
you can search on forum.efilive.com to get some more reading material to help with things quicker.

I installed the Transgo HD shift kit, but otherwise, it's stock. I registered on the efiline forum yesterday, but haven't gotten my confirmation email yet, so can't login.

Thanks again for the help guys.
