Hey all, I'll just jump right into, turbo tweak 5.7 chip. Was wondering what the best setting would be for a fairly factory build. I wish I had time to play with different settings and try different things but I don't so I guess my question is in people experience what the best setting would be between the 4 different options and best ignition advance parameter.

Quick add on, bored 30 over, 212/212 cam, factory turbo, factory intercooler, 255lph pump with hotwire kit and adjustable regulator and 60lb injectors, fuel settings are dialed in and good.
 
If you have Eric all of the correct info, leave it alone. Eric’s chips are usually damn close if he got all of the correct info.

Depends on what you’re doing. If ya don’t have a Powerlogger, it makes tuning from the Scanmaster harder.

If you’re not racing. Just let it be & give ‘er the onion.
 
Without any way to measure the performance other then a butt dyno. I would just make sure you have knock under control and leave it be.

I have a similar setup. Cleaned up heads, 212/212 cam, alky, Stock turbo. I get nervous at anymore then ~21 psi since I don't have a way to measure back pressure. if you want more power, a larger turbo seems to be the most effective change you can make. Messing with the settings on the chip is only going to be worth it if you can actually quantify the effect the changes have.

Good Intel y'all, I'll leave it be, and Eric got all the correct Info I did the build myself, so if anything goes wrong only person I can blame is myself, but still going strong after 17yrs, just now getting around to really dialing it in and driving it more than I ever have
 
You may just need to add some WOT fuel. I had a 5.7 chip and then went with Champion irons. I just added top gear fuel as I tested at the track. Driving around town etc it wont be any different.
 
Just looking to play with it a little is all, What I really need/want next is one of the hood mounted fuel pressure gauges so I can monitor that at all times as well.
