You need to analyze your fuel trims (cells 0-19) only, for dialing in the BASE setting on your MAFT, and you analyze your O2 sensors only, for WOT tweaking. Remember, that the stock narrow-band O2 sensors are not precision devices, and should be baselined against a Wide Band O2 sensor at a dyno shop, before you begin tuning.

Custom PCM programming is great, and offers other features separate from a/f tuning, but the drawback is that you have to wait to get a new program each time from the vendor. (update Jan 2002) LS1 Edit is out and looks extremely promising as a tool for the home user, without need of hiring a PCM tuner to give you a program. However the learning curve may be somewhat steep for beginners.

Great Link,
Very informative!!!!

Is it just me or do the help files just tell you what the features are? I'm looking for something(help) to tell me what to change and by how much. I know it varies to each car, but could someone help me out?

[ozorowsky]

I'm right there with you 99, am trying to get everything together so I can write a help file.

[blue_falcon]

I think part of the reason that the help file/people don't say exactly what you should do is because you can't learn how to tune if someone always just tells you do this or do that, you need to know what exactly you are changing and how it affects your car, one of the main keys to tuning is a proper educated thought process, I am also a newbie, which is why I attended an EFI101 class, and plan on attending the advanced class in April. Sure someone can tell you to add 5 to this table, but what exactly did it do and what did it mean, is what we all need to figure out to be good tuners.

[ozorowsky]

blue: I think your missing the point. That is exactly what we're trying to learn is what does what and why. We are not asking anyone to tell us what to add where. Just asking what different parts of the program does.

I don't like the ltft programming method but other than that very informative.

Moved this from the other post, thanks ozo for the link.

Can you be too rich?

[CAUGHTU]

I have a question about the orginal post. I read the vetteguru write up and got a wealth of information out of that, along with one huge question. In the document it talks of using a MAFT to tune the A/F mixture. Can the MAFT be safely translated/replaced by using HP Tuner for tuning the A/F mixture using STFT tuning after the porting/descreening/replacement of the stock MAF? :-/

[ozorowsky]

yes

[robert56]

Thanks for the links guys. it's a wealth of info for us trying to understand all aspects.
