This has no effect on how many times you can flash the computer. Ive probably done it 50-60 times now. You can keep flashing it till the world ends.

ahhhhhhhhhh this helps a lot now.
which package and how much id it cost ya? mail order is fine, but for me, it works, just not good enough. with what i have planned i need to do some more fine tuning and then some
Yeah the Chevy's say right in the cluster which mode its operating in.
Just log g/cyl and "ETC TPS" not just plain old TPS, its in accurate. Its about 10% off.
If you are logging the wrong one you'll notice you get 89% throttle with your foot to the floor. When logging ETC TPS it will read 100%
The actual DFCO system is not enabled on any US bound vehicle. Just play with it, raise the settings.... if you kept a copy of the stock flash yet, you have nothing to worry about it to change it back. Just try it, im not BS'ing here LOL

Like you said I prefer having this so I can fine tune everything. Hell I still haven't got my transmission settings perfect yet and ive been messing with them for a couple months. Mail order tunes are not a good idea unless you are bone stock. IMO

That's completely untrue. DFCO is enabled on LS1's and every other late model GM engine I've ever worked on. Why wouldn't be?

Do a search on it on www.HPtuners.com You find its is ILLEGAL to be used in conjuction with the lean cruise from the factory. It increases NOx emissions, wich is the by product of a lean condition. The engine will create heafty amounts of these emissions on decel to if its very lean, notice on a wide band the AFR stays at or about 14.7 on decel, even on a manual car when down shifting, with DFCO working on my 01' SS it gets to 16.1 AFR on decel with doing nothing but turning it on. It helped fuel mileage by 1-2 mpg, thats about it.
Not here to create drama on the topic, just going off my experiences with this is all. Never claimed to be a GM PCM engineer either.

DFCO is Decel Fuel Cut Off, with the key word being OFF. Under the right conditions on decels the injector on-time goes to zero with the torque converter left engaged. This doesn't create a lean mixture, it creates NO mixture; just air pumping through the engine, so no NOx increase. DFCO is in use on every late model GM engine I've been around.
Lean Cruise Mode on the other hand is not used on GM domestic applications. This changes the AFR using tables that ignore the O2 sensors so you are leaning the engine without good feedback and depending on engine condition, etc., can greatly increase NOx emissions.

That's todays lesson, now back on topic.
