    'New motor - bogs terribly off idle, undriveable

    So I had a place locally build me an LS7 and set me up with a base SD tune to get me going until they can get me in for a full tune. It idles pretty decently, but give it any gas and it bogs. No throttle response at all and the car is totally undriveable. Here are the specs:

    LS7 - 12:1 CR
    245 Trick flow heads
    Comp 243/251 .653/.660 110 LSA
    Fast 102mm intake, NW 102 Cable TB
    42.5# injectors

    Not running a MAF. I verified I have 58psi at the rail at idle. I also verified my TPS is at 0% when it should be. My IAC count is 50-60 or so when its warmed up, but they are up there when its cold. The IAC is wide open when its cold and it sounds like the thing could suck up a small volkswagen.

    I have HPTuners, but I am pretty clueless with most of it. Ive tried going through some idle tuning procedures online, but the ones ive found assume you are running a MAF.

    Any ideas on where to start with this? Thanks in advance.

    If the idle is fine then there isn't any need to tune it at this point. If I were you I'd start tuning the VE tables first. I read through a good tuning guide once and printed it off. Its called CPIG's HPtuners Vehicle tuning guide. I did a quick google search but can't find the download at this moment.

    Thanks for the reply. I actually just gave it more fuel from 400-1200 and its definitely better. Going to see if its driveable now and go from there. Need to get at least a few legitmate break in miles on this thing.
