Sorry about opening a can o' worms on the LIM
I used MAF, rpm and IAT data from Scantool capture data during WOT runs. For the VE% computations, I used only data from captured points where the rpm'* were between 4000 and 4500, the TPS showed 100%, and O2 sensor 1 showed 0.920v to 0.950v. I used the formulae on this site to calculate:

What was your LTFT for these runs?
Interesting how GM approaches the VE for the L36 and L67 from 97 and up. The PCM VE table is 80% across all MAP/RPM combinations for the L36 but varies for the L67. You know that the PCM VE table is a multiplier value for the MAF?
Cheers,

Oh i know, i am not going to jump into it. I plan on doing a few more little things before this even crosses my mind. I am just saying that i have my eye on it and i am going to continue to read about it and what not. When i do my HV3, i am going to do probably do this since i will have it half way apart. I will be in contact with all of you guys about this around spring time. I want a 14 second pass before i do anymore mods. I know the car has one in it and i want to push the mods i have now to the limit before i add more. But come spring i plan on doing the HV3, the ported LIM, and having some work done to my TB, and some custom computer work. Ohhh i cant wait til spril to get back to the track lol

Cheers,
Please explain more about your comments regarding the PCM...are you saying the PCM limits the VE to 80%? :?

Still, I was drifting on a tangent about VE. You can compare changes with the methods you used, though 4% variation between runs is quite a bit, just that they may not be actual VE values.

Please, pursue the tangent regarding the PCM VE table and a multiplier for the MAF...I want to learn more about that.
(BTW, I think the variability in this data was well within expectations...if you propagate error and assume that each input is accurate to +/-1%, there would be an expected error in the VE calculation of almost +/-3%)

Given that, your original standard deviation for your groups were 1.58% and 1.54%, respectively.
Anyway, curious to see what comes of all of this -

I think the only reason they provide both functions is for calculation time on very large data sets... but they should have made the more intuitive stdev() the real calculation, and not an approximation.
