dfco is not on, or at least I have the enable temp at 284*. Even with it off I still see lean spikes if I just let off the accel a little, so I try and keep the accel transitions as smooth as possible. Kind of hard to do high rpm in 1st gear. All other areas I am putting cell count to 50 before I use it. In the spot above 4K I do not feel comfortable leaving the engine at that rpm with 18 an 19 AFR staring me in the face to get a 25 count. Thinking I use low cell count in that area to get it closer and then up the cell count to get it perfect. If I ever would want to get it perfect there.

Hey Dave,
In that area I am not in PE mode. PE kicks in at 85KPA map reading so I should still see 14.68 AFR. DFCO is off but you are right, even with DFCO off it still lean spikes when you let off the throttle. Not near as much as I would see when running with DFCO but it does do it.

I'd love to see a 6.0 VE from a radix truck. I'll pm you my e-mail. Thanks

It hasn't been calibrated in a bit. I am going to pull it out and do a free air cal today.

That is the VE that came with the Radix tune. I knew the big dip was wrong and will smooth it.

FWIW dirt track is talking about the exact thing you are doing by copying-paste special...something that hptuners has had out since inception basically.

EFILives "Autotune"= HPTuners copy-paste special

HPTuners Autotune is for their Real Timing Tuning Custom OS's which basically just does the copy-paste special for you while you drive

Here is another screen shot. I am going to ignore the fringe numbers as they may be decel lean spikes. I am about 95% sure that in this 40-50KPA 3000-6000 rpm range my VE table is wayyyy lean.

In the screen shot, 43 hits in the cell count. I also saw the same trend in a 2nd gear pull up the range. Notice steady state TPS% and where the AFR is.

follow the numbers just because you think it should look a certain way doesnt mean that is what the engine wants. The difference in fueling is about 20% but instead off adding that much I would start at 15% and go from there. ive noticed even though the numbers relate a 20% difference between commanded and actual that might not mean that you need to adjust the ve by that much another words a change of 10% on the Ve table can equal a 15% change in actual afr. People get carried away with looking at the numbers and thinking they relate to corporeal entities and they dont in real world applications there are too many factors. having the right afr is what matters not the numbers.
