Just had a pondering thought. Since Juice is a harness which taps/intercepts signals, does it raise or change the amount of fuel used behind the ECMs back? or is the timing with the engine just more optimal that it can produce more power?
With that in mind, (please correctly me if i have the wrong idea or indication), is the DIC meter for fuel usage/mileage correct?
Thanks

The quick answer is Yes, it will change the accuracy of the DIC. I read somewhere here that the DIC take many varibles into account when calculating fuel consumption and it is initially calibrated with the stock fuel mapping.
No one I've heard of has hacked the BCM or ECM, (where ever the DIC programming is), to fix the accuracy issue. I'm sure if it was easy, one of the manufacturers would have made a correction for it by now.

When I had my LB7 and I added the juice it really through off my MPG calculations on my DIC. My LLY is very, very close to accurate with the Juice.
My fuel used is ussually within a liter. (1/4 of a gallon.) So if it says I used 90 liters I usually actually use about 91.

Max Power,
Did you find that the DIC was more accurate in general than the '03?
Thanks,
