I have found 2 issus with my vehicle by looking through my logs. I found a small air leek from the piping going to the EGR valve. It's right on the elbow that leeds to the EGR from the intake. I seen a small difference in the STFT swing mv on the left bank from time to time. When I checked it out I would say it would be a common issue with these models. When you look at the knock values in my logs you will see allot of activity but for the figures returned there is not much reduction in spark timing. I belive my engine has the wrong engine oil in it. I would say that they have been using a mineral based oil instead of using synthetic as it is much cheaper. Planing on changing the oil and seeing if there is much fifference in the recorded knock. It's common in early model LS1's to copy the high octane spark tables to the low octane tables. The ignition in these models is so tame. There is a list of knock retard parameters a mile long, the one thing that I have noticed is that the custom bins that Kalmaker use have drive-line spark retard removed. This must be a real downer on vehicle performance. I was going to add more spark and knock parameters to my definition next.
Those min and max spark parameters are hard to find in the 06 definition as well. I'm finding that small things are easier to hide away in another location that needs filling.....
It seems that the bigger the parameter the easier it is to work with.
You got me pumped now you have the Ostrich going on your VT. I found a SMT Production Socket form Yamaichi that fill fit on the PCB of the VY so I can get to that PLCC 32 a little easier but do you think they will sell me the item I need. What a joke!! The head office in the USA's reply was you will need to contact our Japan office and they will sort you out. Guess what, No reply from the Japan office. Comes with no surprise. Gee it's hard to fly like an eagle when.......
I have a couple VX/ VY PCM's now so I might just send one over to Craig and get him to hook me up. I was thinking that the PLCC 32 will have the same banking issues as your dip. As far as dumping the flash goes I know that in the future+ EFILive have something in the pipeline with there V8 software, the other option I have is to work with Roger from Omintuner.
Let the fun begin....LOL

Rev it up, Drop the clutch, See what happens.
