Re: BPW and Cylinder Vol.?

I first got idle good, then got cruise good, then got WOT (w/PE) good.  I spent all weekend doing
some "normal" driving under heavy loads and WOT is very good.  At least fuel is.

Theoretically, if I hold map/rpm for a few seconds (with PE disabled), I should be able to dial in
as much fuel as the ecm wants at that point then, setting the VE to what is actually is.  How does
the extra load hurt tuning?

Isn't the "right" way to get the VE tables correct and then do PE and cruising/transitions/etc? 
That would mean striving for 14.7:1 at all map/rpm, right?

Well in any case, it is coming together nicely now, so maybe I should not confuse myself anymore
than I have to.
