Short Term & Long Term Fuel Trims 100% work and have nothing to do with Flex Fuel tuning.

No matter what you want your fuel trims in the -15/+15 range MAX.

I try and keep them -10/+10 Range

If you have big trims and have flex fuel setup the flex fuel fueling side of it isn't setup right.

Hope that helps

This was exactly my concern / feelings. Fuel trims will eventually max out and then the ECU cannot compensate. My fuel trims also matched my ECA logging showing a trim adjustment going along with it.

I was fairly certain this was part of another issue I was having due to fuel trims possibly maxing out causing lean spots. I'll eventually post more information after I do a tear down... I just want to verify some things physically before I posted logs on the forum. As something like that can cause a PR mess for tuners.

Even though you and I do not see eye to eye and obviously don't get along and were curious I can definitely show you some of the scenarios in private.
