tuning advice

i have a 94 383 with lt4 heads , intake, hotcam, 1.6 rr, tpis full length headers, 10 psi SC , 36 lb injectors, crane ign with boost retard.

i am having a very hard time tuning this setup. any one have any good tips on tuning. i have tries maf table adjustments, ve table adjustments, open loop ,closed loop and still cant seem to get it right. i seem to have tried all kinds of ombos and cant get it right so i thought i would start from scratch. if anyone has a similar combo chime in and give me a hand...thank you , i really want to start driving this thing, it has been down for two years on the build up now i still cant drive it.

Are you tuning it on the dyno with WB O2? With a 383 and if you are seeing 10#, then your 36#/hr is highly not sufficient. Even if you have a FMU, you will not be able to make it. I would definitely throw it on the dyno so you can follow the A/F and maybe misfires and other parameters while you are running the car. The benefit is that if you see the A/F going pass 14 you can stop right away and not blow anything.

I would definitely consider getting some bigger injectors especially if you are hitting around 500rwhp.

Make sure you check out

It would help to know what is doing. As "oldsalt" suggested, your injectors do seem small.
