ive got a 2.9 crusher set up on a built motor with 60lb injectors and stock pumps, boost a pump, and sctba5000. tuner (local) emailed me a tune to get it started to drive down... starts and idles fine, then eventually dies (about a minute at best) if i burp the throttle it dies instantly. any ideas? no codes, cant find any vacuum leaks.

tune is off..do you have a wide band? might be too rich. tell your tuner to send a leaner and richer tune...try one and see if it fixes it.

Are you going to be tuning the car on stock pumps? I don't think they will be up to task with the crusher setup, I would run gt pumps at min. I think you are going to run out of fuel. Just my 2 cents.

so the prob with the tune was... you guessed it, it needed way more fuel. and i ran out of fuel at 4200 rpm... so fuel systems going in. should be tuned by mid next week.
