Do you look at the PE multiplier and then see if it matchs you a/f ratio, if not then add or subtract to the VE table accordingly?
Yes you can. I am not to sure aobut plugging it back in, and i havent tried yet. Yes the ve table will affect PE with the maf unplugeed you ve table better be dialed in. Yes, that is one way to look at it.

It just may be the short drives... I will verify for sure tomorrow sometime.

It still seems like its loading up a bit. But that may mean i need some more logging time to really get it dialed in

Do you use the avg when you are logging?

I am and just wanted to make sure we are on the same page

Yes, I use the average when I am logging. If the average is closer to 0 I figure it has to swing less either direction which would make the tune more stable. That part is just my opinion though.

unless the VE table operates differently then what im used to, Dirk it look like youll be lean at peak torque and rich up top, assuming injector flow ratings are where they should be. Have you had it on a dyno to check this out?

Part of the benefits of the MAF, is that it does a decent job accounting for weather changes because the density of the air changes. Im sure thats why GM likes to rely on 2 inputs, to reduce error. Remove the MAF, and now you have to fix the error!

I agree, his readings below 1600 rpms are low from scaling them. As he tunes the VE it should start to pull up. I would think.

I havent had it to the dyno but the WB indicates me being rich throughout the range based on some track runs... 4k-6.5k

The maf has been removed because it seemed to cause issues with fueling. IE postive trims no matter what i did. even scaling the ifr table had no effect on the trims.

The table overlay indicates higer than stock values from 3600 on up in the higher map values.

My ve table is being tweaked via the trims histogram minus the MAF, trying to hit as many closed loop cells on the histogram as possible.

Jeff do you have any suggestions or anyone else for that matter

They are all starting to look very similar. Mine looks pretty close, but I am not done yet.
