Hey guys,
I'm a diesel owner myself and my buddy has a 5.3 silverado (99 model) and we've been tuning on it some...basically gas engines seem slightly complicated to me. We've done some basics, increased timing and VE values. How do I know when the VE values are too high? If I'm getting 2-3 degrees of knock, do I HAVE to reduce timing to correct it, or are there other options like adding a little more fuel or changing some VE values? I have no idea what tables are "linked" together and such. If you guys can give me some general tips and pointers i'd really appreciate it. Also links to tutorials about these topics, injector tuning, VE tables, timing etc. Thanks for the help guys.
His truck has an intake but otherwise stock, I don't have a wideband either...
