Its true ..I have a blackwing on mine and ltft were 17/19 positive until I started tuning. My initial approach was lowering the injector pulse which produced -2 to 5 ltft. I have since been tuning using the ve tables and to make matters worse using ls1edit. HPtuners will make doing what you are trying to accomplish considerably easier.

Thanks for the info. VE tuning followed by MAF recalibration will definitely take care of it. My only concern was whether or not it was normal to be running so lean after the Vararam install....After all, if it was an air leak (or other problem unrelated to the MAF) then all recalibrating the MAF would do is treat the symptom rather than the root cause of a problem.....
