If I took the data captured with the cam at 125 and entered it into the NN trainer's 128 degree virtual VE table .... I think it would then be off at 125 due to the trainer extrapolating what it thinks 125 should be. As it stands right now, LTFT+STFT and EQ Error look great when the cam is at 125.
I have similar reservations about running a test with the cam set to 85. T maximum retard of the 5.7 phaser is 97 degrees. So if I put 85 in all the tables, and tested ... the cam would only move to 97. So I imagine the data collected here wouldn't be worth inputting into the 85 table, due to the same thought process I described above .... because if I did take the data collected with te cam at 97 and input it into the NN trainer's 85 virtual VE table, then I think it would extrapolate incorrect data for the real 97 degree position ... and, the cam will never be retarded this far anyway.
I think the best course of action is to collect data with two tests. One having the cam locked at 106.5 and the second having it locked at 117.25. Then use this data to fine tune the NN through the trainer. Considering I am only swinging the cam between 112 and 116, I think this would work well. The cam does park at 125 at idle, but the trims and EQ error are very good during this scenario. Then any increase in PRatio or air charge causes the cam to follow the PT or WOT VVT tables, where I have it set as 112 min to 116 max.
