As someone new to EFILIVE and tuning I found this thread that explains the rationale for the AutoVE tune setup very helpful. It would be useful to add it to the sticky.

It makes sense to isolate VE to tune it.
For those retaining their MAF, it would seem to also make sense to have an AutoMAF tune that isolates the MAF and allows it to be tuned without VE interference. It appears that restoring the MAF tables and setting MAF cut-on RPM to idle on the an AutoVE tune would switch AFR from being 100% VE commanded to 100% MAF commanded. Is this correct?
With both VE and MAF calibrated independently, it would seem that the PCM would be in the optimal state to blend them using whatever secret formula it uses.
