    If you asking me 01ssreda4,... yes Sir, he changed roughly 55% of my cell values in the VE Table - mainly lower rpm/MAP cells,....when you get up to higher rpm/MAP cells it stayed same.

    He also changed the following 0411 PCM tables;
    - Base idle RPM - Target idle speed
    -Integral - Airflow Low/PN
    -Airflow General - IAC park position airflow
    -Base running airflow - Idle airflow
    -Airflow startup - Friction airflow initial
    -Airflow startup - Startup airflow initial
    -Throttle follower - Delay (P/N)
    -Throttle follower - Delay gear
    -MAF - Airflow vs frequency
    -Main VE - Primary
    -Cutoff DFCO - cutoff rpm vs gear (normal table only)
    -Power enrichment - EQ Ratio (gas) - dropped them from 1.17 down to 1.15 across the board.
    -Main spark advance - High and Low octane tables - he made both tables the same and then added some spark advance (2-5degrees) in the upper rpm (>2000) and upper cylinder airmass (>.56g).
    -And some transmission tables (mainly part/full throttle shift tables and shift rpm tables - when we street tuned it).

    A portion of the above was changed because I went from a 350 to 383. And another portion because the truck didn't want to stay running unless I kept my foot on the pedal a little, when I first fired it up. The rest would be tuning.
    Totally restored - 1996 GMC K1500 ext cab, HT383e swap, MPFI spider, 0411 PCM swap, FLT Level 5 4L60e with Sonnax Smart Tech input housing, Tru-Cool 40k transmission cooler with -6AN lines, 1-5/8" Hedman Husler long tube race headers with 2-1/2"ss dual exhaust, rebuilt 3.73 rear axle with Yukon/Detroit Helical locker, 6" ProComp lift with steering stabilizer and rear traction bars, 35x12.50x15 BFG All Terrains, Perma-Cool e-fans, etc, etc, etc,..

    If you're asking me, no he did no tuning of the ve table or spark tables. Just messed with the pe table in the last few cells.

    Wow what a ripoff.

    I had someone that said he could do a tune and he only asked for a 10 min log at steady 1800 rpm on the highway. Then one wide open log! And the car is tuned!! Does that seem like a scam?? He was only going to log RPM, timing, KR.
