The STEALTHRAM POP HELP?!
Okay I've gotten my BLMS in a pretty descent range and my throttle response is pretty good.
When I sit at an idle... or a slow speed/rpm and give it some throttle.... now and then there will be a POP from the front of the engine. In the beginning it would do it sitting in the driveway if I reved it from the throttle body.
Started with a 146blm idle. Got it down and good, and added some AE vs LV8 and throttle came alive. But it still popped now and then. All I can guess is that it is a lean pop. All the mechanical aspecs are good... IE Plugs/wires/base timing/etc
So I made my idle rich to 116blm... and it still does this.... I managed to catch it on the data log and here is that log..... I think it occured as the O2 was in the double digits...
Any Ideas?

Tried a new chip to make a 128 blm idle.....
Narrowing the feel of the pop. It feels now kind of like its coming through the exhaust.... I can't be sure. I can't get it to do it in park anymore...
This time from a stop light... if I gave it enough gas to go... THEN got on it it would pop then go.
Lean pop still or too much pumpshot which I don't think I have too much of because its happend since the head/hsr install... before I played with the AE vs Change in LV8
I was thinking of trying to add more gas right as I tip the throttle... but I don't see an AE vs TPS... just the load/coolant changes

Looks like a lean pop due to the O2 voltage dropping to 15mV
....
Need more AE (IMHO)

The O2 went down to 62.... 84-66-71-62-62-66 Which I still understand is pretty low....
Right now with the ARAP bin and the 6Ev009 ECU, my AE vs Change in LV8 is:
LV8 Factor
256 22.66
192 22.66
128 18.75
64 16.02
0 14.06
Factor being the variable what should I change them to?
Stock ARAP bin was:
20.31
20.31
15.63
12.50
12.50
Thanks Tim!

An O2 of less then .44 means your leaner then stoich..
As Trax mentioned,
I've never seen an engine perform well at less then stoich on tip-in. On a 3rd gen anyway.
There are several items to balance on AE. First, easiest, and usually close is just adding some AE thru delta TPS, and delta LV8/MAP.
And when adding fuel seems to make no change, ramp out some timing.

The Ae is phasing out to fast. granted looks like a bigger shot could be needed. but id try to get those decay values setup right. once you get the correct decay time then all you have to do is make the shot bigger or smaller and it'll fall together pretty quickly.
heres a post that could qualify as MAF AE tunning 101. im not sure why it never got into the stickys.

My min LV8 to enable is set at 20.... I havn't seen my car at a load under 40, and that 40 load was only going down a hill with my foot off the gas.... should I set it up to something like 40?
That article helped explain alot. I beefed up the pulses and fixed the decay a bit and I'll see where that goes. One table I have un addressed is:
Accel Enrich %BPW Factor vs Async Pulse
It has pulse 1 through 8... and a variable "factor" all set to .50
What does that one do?
And another:
LV8 Accel Enrich Coolant Factor vs Coolant Temp
Has temps and multipliers.
Noticed also that in open loop, it pops REALLY easily....
Thanks guys!

factor 0.50 x 2.3 = 1.15 maximum allowable AE pulsewidth to be added. the larger that factor the bigger the AE PW added can be. that could need to be re dressed in the tunning article. im not sure i typed everything up correctly.

so at 175 deg.... if I put it to .10 instead of .05..... I can get more AE?
My temp is always at approx 180... except before it warms up to that.
