All cars have a loss

303 total HP on your car
x.2 = 60.6
So at the front, you are only putting down 242.2

I am on the advanced view.

It's obvious that not all DTCs are showing up in HPT, but that makes sense, as not all items will necessarily be relevant to each engine/calibration. (although we have a shitload of irrelevant DTCs showing up but turned off anyway).

May depend on the year/OS as well - I have the 05 with an E40 ECM - Newer engines with the E67 (07 and up?) may require different DTCs to be active.

Nighthand, do you have a dyno chart you can post? It might tell us a bit about the discrepancy between the torque and HP numbers.

Wtq number seems pretty strong (didn't you say it was somewhere around 350, which indicates ~ 430 at the crank). The power number seems suspiciously low compared to that torque number, unless the torque is dying off at high rpm. Since the LS2 pulls strong to 6500, something else has to be happening - fuel or spark are way off, valves are floating (you did upgrade valve springs right), or you've hit the flow limit of the crappy intake manifold they put on this engine.

Yeah, I think your right. My car is an 07 with the new ECM.

But even my 04 Monte SS had those codes with HP.

I will try to get these sheets scanned in when I get home this afternoon. And yeah, it shows 360 torque on the sheet (adjusted for the 10% would be 396 wtq).

It will definitely light up the tires.

I did change the springs.

When I have been attempting to tune myself, I keep showing like -50 on all my LTFT values. I have to log some more after the tune, but I think I am still somewhere around there.

He did say something that I did not really understand: the car runs off the MAF sensor so making adjustments to the LTFTs is not really changing anything. Is this true? Should I be changing this? (Can I change this?)

yes and yes, you can change the HZ rate of the MAF.

-50, huh

Sounds like a scanner issue. Do not use the LTFT sensor, as that pulls data from both bank 1 and bank 2 and averages them. When scanning using fuel trims, use the PID for bank 1 only, as that is the only one that actually sends data to the sensor.

When I tuned using fuel trims, I disabled the LTFT and just went off the STFT (you don't have to drive around for a few days to let the LTFT's relearn, so it goes quicker. Make sure you reset the trims using the scanner controls, or the previous LTFT's will still be there.)

You really should use a wideband instead of fuel trims though - it lets you tune in all rev/load conditions, whereas fuel trims don't give you the data you need when PE is active.

Sounds like your tuner was BSing you on the MAF/fuel trim thing.

There are two main things you need to tune air/fuel wise. If you have a VE table, disable the MAF and get the VE table close (used primarily below 3600 rpm and at throttle transitions - the ECM also uses it as a sanity check on the MAF.) This is an iterative process, make sure the engine is at normal operating temp and drive smoothly - no mashing the gas pedal - on each tuning run.

Then re-enable the MAF and tune it. As Taz said, the MAF table shows airflow versus Hz (output frequency). If you have positive fuel trims, then the ECM is adding fuel - there is more airmass entering the engine than the MAF table shows, so you have to add airflow to the MAF table (same % as the fuel trim or AFR% error).

There's some real good tuning guides in the stickies on the HPT site - spend a few hours reading through them.

I actually have a wideband in the car, I just need to run the wires from the wideband box to the MVPI.

Good idea. You should if you do have the WB to test your O2's and dial them in.

I am having technical issues with my scanner (it's a piece of junk). I hope to have them resolved this afternoon.

Wife has my laptop for today, so won't be able to do much changing until tomorrow (not to mention it is raining here today anyway).

I also need to get off my rear, head to Radio Shack and get some wire to run from the PLX box to my MVPI.

I should have scans up tonight. I also got my wideband scanner fixed (not the hookup, I hope to get that tonight as well), but the gauge reading. I am showing between 14.5 and 15+.

One other thing. I double checked the printout and the torque is showing as 340, not 360 (which converts to 374 wtq).

However, I found a lot of stuff on the web stating the dyno dynamics should be multipled by 1.18 to get the "regular" reading. Is this correct? If so, my numbers come out to 304 whp, 401 wtq (still big difference in hp/tq).

There's your answer on the torque reading. The peak is right where the brake stall starts. The torque reading is false due to the converter. Look near the published torque peak right after the stall catches up. eyeballs (to me) at about 272 lb-ft @4400 or so.

Does not seem like we are gaining much (if anything) by swapping out the cam at this point. Maybe with other mods (like an intake, injectors, etc) it will matter.
