    Was Ben Strader the instructor of that session?

    I'll probably run into him a few times over labor day weekend and can verify that for you.

    THe PE table only comes into play at over 60% or so TPS depending on what you have set it to.
    If you are in open loop SD you need to be playing with b3605

    I am fairly certain that EFI Univeristy classes primarily focus on aftermarket EFI systems. I don't know of anybody running a Motec and a MAF. The issue of getting GM PCM's to reliably operate in Speed Density mode appears to be challenging at times. This is probably more a result of GM's VE table being more an "air mass" table vs. a Volumetric Efficiency table.
