As white says, a positive trim is an additive change to the fuel map.

What this all boils down to is that if the FTC you're in prior to entering PE mode has a +/- LTFT, the PCM can carry that trim...

That's not correct.

If there's a positive trim in the fuel trim cell prior to entering PE mode, the PCM will carry that positive trim over into PE as a protective measure.

Sounds great with the stock exhaust, but it's just too freaking loud and harsh for me personally once you add headers and exhaust.

Some of the E38 OSes seem to wig out a little when flashed with HPT. When I flash my Camaro I get "High Engine Coolant Temp - AC Disabled" and "Service Stabilitrac" and a few other codes. Others I've...

Yeah, I've noticed that the Camaro is set up the opposite from the 'vette- fuel cut disabled and spark and ETC enabled.

Stroking it is only half of the equation. If you stroke out the bottom end you need to open up the top end to support it as well, or you're just limiting the power potential of the added cubes. More...

It can be tuned out. I don't think most tuners are changing this unless you specifically ask for it.

The stock tune commands from about 11.0 to 11.7, depending on RPM. Richer in general down low, and leaning out past torque peak.

That's the AFR commanded by the PE multiplier. Commanded AFR does...

Traction control can pull timing, but it wouldn't show up as KR. I'd pull a few degrees of timing and see if it effects your KR readings.

ARH high flows at... almost 10k miles now. Had them off last week. Pristine.

Standard Whipple kit, plus ARH LTs/cats and custom tune. Around 550 on a Mustang dyno last time it hit the rollers.

Like Slowhawk said, during normal closed-loop steady state operation, AFR constantly oscillates rich/lean around stoich; it doesn't just sit at 14.7:1. With a fast gauge you'll see that oscillation.

Still on the stock clutch. Sunroof shade flies open when I punch it, but it did that bone stock, too. :P

I'm babying it though until I get the drivetrain beefed up.

Out of that list, I think Edelbrock is the only one with a warranty option. Whipple doesn't offer one, and I can't think of a turbo kit with one either, but I could be wrong.
