What exactly does the VE table affect during driving?
What exactly does the VE table affect during driving? Yeah, I know.... another damn VE question again.. LOL If it wasnt for this VE stuff, Id tune my own PCM in a heartbeat.
Now, if you have a VE table that is way off, what would the side affects be?

VE is the "fudge factor" in the speed density mode
mass airflow calculation.
Speed density is used any time the MAF is expected
to be unreliable at airflow measuring. This includes
- low RPM
- changing MAP
Idle seems to be almost entirely speed-density.
The changing-MAP aspect can manifest as "lean
holes" when you punch the throttle; this in turn can
give you KR. See this as a brief, sudden drop in
O2 volts on rising TPS accompanied one or two
ticks later by a KR blip.

Right. The MAF is thermal based, slow; on a fast
air surge it's still reporting "yesterday's news". So
you shoot less fuel than needed unless the SD tune
takes over. But, most people don't screw with the
VE table even though they hand on all kind of bolt-
ons and bolt-ins meant entirely to improve (increase)
the VE of the motor. So you flow more air than the
SD tune represents too, and stuck with transient
leanout.

Cool, so I can attribute this dyno to the messed up VE then? Also, is there any drving characteristics of a bad VE table?
So a perfect VE table really isnt entirely nessary if the PCM only uses it for quick MAP changes and low RPMs (how low?).

Everyone needs to read this thread if they haven't before http://www.hptuners.com/forum/YaBB.p...1555;start=0#0
Basically it figures in ve below 2400 rpm, and if manifold pressure is changing under 4000 rpm. Above 4000 rpm it's all maf.

Hey country boy...I have a VE table that you can try...I've got the same cam, with stage II ls6 heads...on my 01 ws6. I'm sure it will make your drivability a lot better. Let me know if you want to take a look...I'm assuming that your using HPtuners.

You need to richen your PEvsRPM significantly from 3000-4000rpm and a richen it a little less from 4000-7000rpm.
You should try to hit around 12.4ish:1 at torque peak and ramp up to around 12.8-13.1:1 at RWHP peak depending on octane/timing/compression and cam characteristics...

I am having excellent luck with the 2002 Z06 VE table. And I added 10% to my MAF airflow to compensate for a lean condition. I am seeing pretty much 0 trims (ltft) across the board, except in the middle it is between -1 and -5. Works for me.

Exactly, you will see the spike go all the way to 18.1 or depending on how much you adjusted the VE table.
