Or if you are from California, putting in gas from another state has a similar effect. I should be able to push more timing given the up to 10% ethanol in all the CA gas, but I must pick my gas station carefully. We get no more than 91 octane here.

Push and hold the button below the one on the steering wheel for scrolling through the display. I think it looks like a little arrow.

I got my suite today!! WOOT WOOT!

I think I am going to "borrow" your config file Victory b/c for the life of me, I can't figure out how to set up the histograms so I can configure my fuel trims and MAF.

As much as I would love a full power tune, I don't think my stock clutch with 75K on the clock will handle it. So, I am going to see what I can do to smooth everything out and up my MPG for now. Soon as I get 1K, I'll throw in upgraded clutch and move forward with power.

Yeah, I checked out the MAF tuning vid earlier. I understand everything but setting up the histograms, so I am glad I can "borrow" someone else's.

There seems to be alot of great info, but much of it seems to "come in from the middle", meaning I haven't found guides on setting up the basics (like histograms and PIDs) so I guess I'll just keep picking through it till I get what I need.

The scanner/histogram settings is a sticky thread at the top of the 'GM L4, I5, I6 Engine Tuning' section. It has a large amount of histogram and PID settings that apply to us. Comparing them to the premade config helps with understanding how to build them. Some histos don't work right if you don't add the proper custom PIDs to your scanner.
