ECMNUT

have

computer

> compression pistons and a well done performance rebuild to the rest of the

> GL/HR single injector flow rate and SEC/GM product of injector flow rate
and
> fuel calculation base constant for single fire were changed right off with
> little help at all.  Now the change for GL/HR was easy to convert but,
> SEC/GM? I assume seconds/gram of fuel (what)?  Taking this number down

> the other way (increase).  Next is the infamous VE tables, 3 of them, F29
> (TPS >/= to 2%) base VE for 600 to 4000 rpms and vac to boost load ranges,
> cool.  Then the F29 Extended table for TPS < 2% good again.  Now knowing
the

I
> am left with..F30 VE vrs RPM for?  For this table, RPM is below idle to
near
> read line and is a one liner (not 3D table) that I am not sure how to use,
> and which VE first to tune.  Can it be that the F30 is a bulk change
(maybe
> get the injectors closer right off?) and the F29s for the rest?
