I have no experience, but are you using the same ecu map from the 5.3 as a base map?

The symptom sounds like the ignition is not firing at the right time. Do both engines have the same number of teeth on the crank sensor? I remember a video where that was a problem.

Ok thanks I ordered a new set of coil wire extensions cause the ones I got from Amazon the wiring doesn’t match up with the coil wiring so I got a new set from painless wiring and hopefully this will work
