Hey folks, I've used EFI Live for a few years tuning Duramax Diesels, and I'm very familiar with them, but I don't know much about the gas side of things. I've got a 2004 Silverado work truck with a 4.8 in it and I'd like to start learning to use EFI Live to tune them as well. I know and understand gas-motor tuning in general, but which EFI Live tables should I focus on to begin with? Also, how/where do I adjust the dreaded "torque management"?? If someone could give me some direction or pointers as far as which tables to focus on, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!!

Thanks for the info. Even though it's still the same program, gas stuff is a completely different language from diesel! Any suggestions for GM truck specific message boards with good tuning forums?
