I really don't think so and you shouldn't be getting lean codes..what are your mods..do you have maft or ls1edit..better fix that problem fast..that lean isn't good for your engine..how is your knock retard..it should be real high also...

No. They should not be that high.
What are your other LTRIMs at? Do you have a cam or other engine mods?

T1, LS6 intake, ported T/B & maf, FLP headers, and tipical bolt-ons. w/ stock heads, i still made 380rwhp (and lean codes).

Mine are about 5% richer than my cruise ltrims. Hence, -1.6% cruise, -6% idle. You're probably getting the lean codes because you've already got the ltrims maxed out at idle, and then the need to get higher while driving.

you are probably lean accross the board and need to adjust all your LTRIMs. Did you wideband when you dynoed?

25% at idle and a lean code?

25% is the max that pcm can adjust. You have it pegged.

Perhaps try flipping the MAF.

I don't like the Ltrims to be +/-10 or MORE.

Glenn, I am having the same issue you are.

https://ls1tech.com/ubb/cgi-bin/ulti...f=23;t=000918.

I am going to replace my 02 sensors and see if that does it. If you fix it please please let me know.

Put on a stock MAF, if it dips below 10%, then either LS1Edit for the ported MAF or ditch the ported MAF.

Your MAF is ported, please don't "flip" it as suggested. <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> Don't ask why. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

You've either got a MAF problem or a massive air leak.. are all the clamps tight, etc. on the air coupling between the maf and the tb?

As others have mentioned, +25 is VERY LEAN, and is the max the PCM can do, you could cause some damage if you drive the car like this!

No you are running lean

would a larger than required hole in the TB butterfly (AIC count @ 0) be part of the problem? i have the egr removed also (ala GM LS6 intake). i'll swap in another TB plate and see what happens. along w/ checking all the intake connections. thanks guys.
