Long road test of my new tune

Way to go!

It's always rewarding when a plan comes together. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Cody! It really does feel good to get this working. I'm starting to get to the point to where I don't feel like I know just enough to be dangerous behind the tuning software, but instead I'm starting to feel comfortable with it. I still have a ton to learn, and I'll keep asking questions

Forgot one other thing I've been playing with... the EOT timing advance table. I always hated how the PSD is so loud when the engine is cold. I run synthetics in my truck year round, so I figured I could drop a lot of that timing advance when the engine is cold. Man, this truck sounds like it's completely warmed up even when the temp gauge is pegged at the bottom. It dropped down into the 20's a few days before I left for Houston (yes we had snow at our house in mid May!!!). I only noticed a very very slight increase in white smoke for just a minute or two. So I'm pretty happy with how that adjustment worked out. I didn't flatten the timing down to zero across the table, because I know in the winter if I did that, I would fog out the neighborhood. Still, just a hint of white smoke is acceptable to me, and it doesn't hammer away like it normally does when it's cold. Just a nice, smooth PSD sound.

This software is addicting. I wonder what else I can mess with

That's what I did during the winter since I run 5/40. You are right about the engine being as quiet cold as it is when it's hot. We got some snow back home (I say that like I'm living in Georgia now) last week....8 flippin' inches!!

Keep on truckin'!

Sounds like you've got a winner!

I know what you mean, at least it's a good addiction... I hope.
