INITIAL SETUP PROGRAMMING
Scroll down to Initial Setup and push the joystick to the right.
The following parameters must be programmed.
Engine Type: This value determines the engine platform (Figure
25). There are over 26 engine combinations to select
from. There is also a Custom setting for highly modified
or aftermarket engines. This setting is important as
once an engine type is programmed, other settings will
default to the OEM components that were supplied on
that engine.
For example, if LQ9 is selected, the coil, injector and MAP
sensor will automatically set to the OEM components.
(Different values can also be input if modifications have
been made.)
Custom: In the event a custom built engine is the target engine,
it is recommended to select the closest Engine Type
setting first. This will produce a start-up calibration and
default settings including the volumetric efficiency tables
for that series of engine. From there, go back into each
selection and edit to the engine specifications.
Engine Size: Once the engine type has been selected, the
stock cubic inches will automatically be set. If the engine
has been modified with a different stroke or bore, select
and input the size. The range is from 100-800 cubic
inches (Figure 25).
Camshaft Type: There are three cam selections to choose;
Street/Stock, Mild and Performance. Note that if the
lobe separation angle (LSA) is less than 108°, it is
recommended to input the next larger cam. Cams with
over 250° duration are not recommended for use with
the Atomic LS system (Figure 25).

Coils: Once the engine type is selected, the OEM coil will be
automatically loaded in the default calibration file. If
different coils or MSD LS Coils are used, change the
setting to the correct coil type. (Figure 25)
Note: If an engine type is selected, only the compatible coils
will be available in the Coils screen. For example if LQ9
is selected, the GM and MSD compatible numbers will
only be selectable from the menu.
