<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I looked through the archives and found lots of
discussion on the LV8 variable. However, I did not find an equation that defines
how to calculate this parameter from the sensor data and lookup
tables.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Since LV8 is the engine load variable, I would
think that this parameter is related to the engine VE at a given RPM. One
possible way to calculate LV8 is listed below.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>LV8 ( @ given RPM) = ( MAF (g/s) @ test RPM ) /
(Maximum Airflow (g/s) @ test RPM ) X 255</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>For the 87 vintage 1227165 F-Body cars, there is
a "Maximum Air Flow vs. RPM" table. I wonder if this table is used to
calculate the LV8 parameter????</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>If the actual equation is documented, where can
I find it???</FONT></DIV>
