Tuning problems with LS1edit
When you say "fuel drops", I think that you mean "during a power shift at WOT, the AFR gets leaner".
AFR is air fuel ratio, if you didnt know.
This timing change, is this the first thing you changed after getting LS1Edit????
You have a modified (ported) MAF sensor. The MAF table in the PCM does not represent the flow of your modified MAF. The first thing you should do (IMO), is to re-calibrate the MAF table to correlate the the actual flow/frequency of your MAF sensor. You do this by logging the LTFTs over many fuel cells (same as engine load cases). You do this at part throotle.
IMO, you need to step back, and think about what you are doing with LS1Edit. What do you want to achieve??? I'm not trying to be a smart ***, its just seems like you jumped into this tuning stuff without a game plan and technical approach to what you are doing.
Second: go out and take some ATAP logging sessions, record LTFT (both banks), fuel cell, engine rpm, MAF frequency, and MAF flow (in gms/second). Log files at part throotle, trying to visit many load cases,, this is your fuel cells. Each fuel cell will have its own LTFT (Long Term Fuel Trim). While you are out getting part throotle recording, get one or two at WOT and add in the O2 output & KR & total timing.
Come back home and bring up Excel and read the ATAP log files one at a time. Read in the log files as data files separated by a comma. You should end up with all of your data in nice columns. Save these files with a unique name that you can refer back to days from now. Now study these files. What is the LTFT value at idle (fuel cell 19)???? What are the LTFT value at low engine load (fuel cells 4 and 5)???? What is the LTFT value at mid-range (fuel cells 9 and 10)??? What are the LTFTs at upper end just before the PCM goes into WOT (I think this would be the 14 and 15 fuel cells.)
High positive LTFTs (above +10%) means that the MAF table should be re-calibrated because you modified the MAF sensor. If the LTFTs are slightly positive (0% to +5%), you can change the fuel injector table downward. The objective is to end up with negative LTFTs, between 0% and -5%. The main reason for this objective is that at WOT, the PCM will dump in more fuel equal to the LTFT value IF the LTFT value is positive. If the LTFT values are negative, no fuel is added or taken away during WOT due to the LTFT value. With MAF ends and no screen, you might be running around with the LTFTs up at +15% to +20%. This is not uncommon.
So first tune the part throotle stuff, then tune the WOT fueling for 12.8:1 AFR, then work on the timing table for best performance at WOT, see if you can get 28* at WOT. There are several other things that you can do, and maybe you have done some, like raise the RPM limiter (if you have an M6), lower the fan temps, etc. If you have an auto, there are some things to be done there to, but I cant advise you on this.
Modifying (re-calibrating) the MAF table is not a simple matter. It is not a simple across the table multiplication. Let the value of the LTFT guide you in how much to change each portion of the MAF table by frequency. The bottom end of the MAF table, the engine is at idle or just off idle.
Match up the fuel cell number, MAF frequency and the LTFT in order to dicide how much to change the flow values in the MAF table. Also, very important, you must end up with a smooth looking curve for the MAF table. Look at the stock MAF flow table in graphics form before you change it.
Also, its a good idea to file away the stock PCM program so that you can go back to any specific stock table if you get out of control with your editting stuff.
OK, I'm tired now!!!!
