Re: Using LS1 edit to richen/lean out the car is it better to scale the MAF or injectors? Neither, your LTRIMS look good. Change PE vs RPM. Between your rev limiter problem and your A/F, I am starting to wonder.

Re: Using LS1 edit to richen/lean out the car is it better to scale the MAF or injectors? Half dozen in one, 6 in the other.
It really doesn't matter where you make the adjustment. To keep things simple, it is recommended that all corrections to the a/f ratio be done with MAF tables if you are only making slight corrections.
It is my opinion, though, that if you are going to make large changes to the PCM to correct for poor Lterms or a/f, then those changes should be made to the Injector Table or split between the two. Reason being, large changes to the MAF transfer function table can cause the PCM to reference air flows incorrectly and result in timing problems among other things.
The PE table should only be fooked with on a dyno. IMHO.

I'd also tweak the injectors first but I would determine if you have a vacuum leak before I did anything!

Using LS1 edit to richen/lean out the car is it better to scale the MAF or injectors? I've got some tuning to take care of next saturday with my a/f ratio. What is the best way to adjust my a/f ratio. Using the injectors or MAF?
