Default diablosport data logging

Here is update to my diablosport U7151 data logging results. This time I selected only 5-6 PIDs to find out how much data will be stored. Selected RPM, SPKADV, missfire, & couple of others that I cannot remember. Mainly wanted to track spark advance vs RPM. Anyway, total time of logging was 2.48.75. That is 2 minutes 48 secs and some hdrds of sec. This was using the SLOW option. So, what is up with this time vs the 45 minutes/2 hours diablo states?

Results of monitoring the spark advance were that it ranged from -4 to +40, mostly varying between +18 and mid 30s. This was on city streets in stop n go from 0 to 30-35 MPH.

Next test selected 6 PIDs, tracked RPM, MAF and 4 O2 sensors on same route and speeds. Downstreams sensors tracked together varying from .65 to .75 volts. Upstream also tracked together but fluctuated more widely and at faster rate: from near 0 to .75 volts. Reading general web data about O2 sensor voltage and lean/rich values it seems the optimum for 14.7-1 air/fuel mix is around .5-.6 volts. Once again, logged only 2 min 48+ seconds.

So, does it sound like truck running a little rich, or is this about normal for the 2006 54L 3V?

^you get three from them with an order, so get the economy and tow tunes. since thats only two might as well get the performance one too. And then just whatever octane you run.

ok some guy on here had a different tuner besides vmp and he said the owner said he would get the best gas milage from the 93oct performace so he tried it and he said it worked and after he figured up the extra milage he got and the cost it was actually was cheaper then running the 87oct perforamce.

so my questions to those who are running the sct with tunes from VMP.
what tunes do you get the best MPG out of?? or just post the different MPG you get with the tunes you have. thank you

I have a Superchips tuner for my 2002 that I just sold. I was under the impression that once you used it on that truck, it was actually VIN locked to that specific truck. Someone else told me that as long as you return your truck to "stock" it can be used on other trucks. Is there any truth to that? Am i misunderstanding the VIN lock part? I would like to sell my programmer since I no longer have the truck. Any advice would be great!

I did seem to notice a bit of a gain running the 91. Not sure it was anything great, but I am guessing that the motor needed the extra octane for the "tune" timing.
