Nah, I'm pretty sure I just need to find the right table to display "magical air number". Seriously though thanks, that response was very well worded and further confirmed that my air values were coming from my current VE tables instead of MAF sensor.
I didn't realize that either. I guess that's why Auto.VE make ssuch a point of ensuring the MAF DTC's are flagged before doing the procedure.
I will try to get some seat time the next couple days to confirm, but to wrap this one up, the reason my CALC.VET procedure was displaying unreasonably high values is because it relies on the MAF sensor to calculate how much air was used and my MAF sensor was intentionally failed(a leftover from starting AUTO.VE that I never turned back off). The PCM then uses the current loaded VE table to determine air. In this particular case, my LS3 Maf sensor was displaying g/s numbers nearly double what they should be...which is a different issue that I will have to figure out.
Thanks for helping out everyone. I feel like this forced me to really understand the calcs behind the CALC.VET procedure that Joecar and Weatherman developed for us.
