I have a Superchips Flashpak tuner and i was having fun watching all of my engine readouts and how they change with varying conditions. I was just wondering if anyone knew if there is a website with the optimal engine parameters or values for the 4.8L Vortec? Thanks

If you want the optimum settings and stuff for the engine, you'd have to get it on a dyno and have a custom tune done.

What I meant was the normal engine values are so i can compare my readouts. I looked on gm's service website but all they have are MIL diognostic manuals.

so what exactly are you looking for? Dyno charts for the stock engine to compare to yours?

Yeah exactly. Is there a website with the dyno charts?

Vortec Dyno Chart (http://media.gm.com/us/powertrain/en/product_services/2007/HPT%20Library/Gen%20III/Gen%20III%20Truck/2007_48L_LR4_Silverado_1500.pdf)

there you go. Vortec Gen III LR4. (i believe that to be the one in your truck.)
