While upping my programmer to 85 hp, I decided to check my balance rates with my Predator. At idle in Park, this is what it read...

-0.07 Cyl #1
-0.40 Cyl #2
-2.72 Cyl #3
-0.58 Cyl #4
-0.40 Cyl #5
-1.30 Cyl #6
-2.00 Cyl #7
-0.83 Cyl #8

I'm not sure what these number refer to and they weren't steady. Any ideas?
 
The balance rate adjustments are utilized by the ECM only at idle. The balance rates are the fuel adjustments for each individual cylinder based on the variations in engine crankshaft speed. A positive value indicates that fuel is being added to each cylinder event, such as with poor engine compression or a fuel injector that is not flowing enough fuel. A negative value indicates fuel being removed from each cylinder event, such as a fuel injector that is flowing too much fuel. The balance rates will change depending on if the transmission is in Neutral or Drive.

+/-4 in park and +/-6 in drive (Foot on brake) are the acceptable limits.


Yours look good.
