That must be why I can't make enough power to burn up my #7 piston.

stock48 Do you adjust your PE mode once you max your MAF?

That is how mine is set up.

yep, quite a feat for the gm engineering team...

Afford, my truck, a new crew cab, bike, and have money left for restoring the charger? I dont think so.... It's going to be tight even with selling my truck. Plus I want to have the first LS powerd mopar s475 charger (with a five inch down pipe)

No the fuel in the wet shot helps keep all the cylinders burning equal...

I use the last line in the PE, then use the RPM vs fuel multiplyer. I like it because it's set values, and Really easy to tune but you have to stay on top of it. Any drastic change of elevation, or temp will throw the AFR way off.

Maybe if the new T78 doesn't do the trick I will take your advise..... How much do you want for that kit anyway?:nunchuk1:

Yes sorry the VE table. My fuel system is maxed out, and I haven't messed with the fuel curve for a while. My low, and high boost tune is the same just high boost runs meth. All I have done lately is turn the boost down 2PSI and pull 4* of timing, when I got to Ca.

Real benefits of the maf is if you are going to be changing temperatures and altitude. When the maf fails out at whatever level of airflow it fails at.. whatever the current tune is.. it can go into SD and make up for the flow. There are ways to make the maf work. I am definitely not sold on a 2 bar or 3 bar tune if you ever leave your happy place.. meaning if you start driving around at different temperatures and altitudes you will run into some issues with the truck going rich or lean depending on the DA. I know alot of guy's here hate the Maf but I know with most driving when you are not in boost it is a huge driveabilty increase to have the maf there when you need it. It can be made to work to your favor it just takes more time on the tuning end of things. While 2 bar tuning is "simpler" making it act more like a stock vehicle at all altitudes and all temperature conditions is a much bigger challenge without the maf.

Has your elevation changed?

Your in the Midwest/south.. it's not as eratic as the west coast.

I would love to see if your afr's changed when you moved around
