not at all. The blue road runner we did has over 800 on the motor but cant dyno for shit cause of the stall and big tires. He was somwhere around 550ish at the wheels.

yeah it sucks you cant get the whole story on the dyno. you’d have to force lockup on them if your converter is designed to lock up.

i dont see a problem with it… the dyno puts the car underload as does the street. but agian there are many types of dynos

you can get ur BLM’s and data from a scan to see how lean/rich u are and make adjustments from there. you should beable to get how lean or rich you are as a percentage.

Go to your VE tables and increase or decrease by the percentage.

that should do it. ofcourse its best to test on the street afterwards

now i’m very new to tuning and dont know what the ls1 software looks like or how they opperate. i just been lookin into my 89 MAF system stuff

you still didnt answer me, how do you tune for VE especially at low rpms in different gears?

tune on street for daily use and WOT, tune on dyno to really dial in what 1 or 2\* of timing does in power

i tune on street using many factors, first i scan the ride, replay the scan see if i like it or not. dpending on situation im either loading a new tune or going to tweak the current one. then go out and try to hit as many cells as possilbe for about 15 minute ride pull over and replay. take every reading into account. make adjustments.

dyno is for fine tuning in my eyes. street is all around tuning. a dyno cant put you in every situation you see on the street

ahhh you have me there. low rpms and gears would be hard to do on the dyno. you’d almost have to street tune to get it running ok and then hit the dyno to fine tune. then keep playing with low end drivability

you can peg you knock meter in 6th gear at 1500 rpms at 25mph with 100% throttle but wide open in 4th will result in 0 KR\*

or you can see 2 KR\* at 4200 rpms with only .48g/cl but that might not be a spot you use often but might want to address it. but to get that detailed you would need to street tune
