Help me get this 4.8L running!

Here is a new log. Towards the end of the log, you can see where I got up on the converter from a stop to start getting the WOT fueling in line.
I'm wondering what the difference is between the dynamic cyl airmass vs the calculated cylinder airmass? I'm kind of confused on why my g/cyl calcs are different than what the histograms show. It seems to be exactly double. So if my dynamic cyl air is showing .18 at idle, the spark histogram sits in the .08 field.
When I go WOT, timing is pretty constant at 20. But If you look at my timing tables, where the F is 20 coming from? Thanks boys. Its been a while since I've done any tuning

The only thing pulling timing is the IAT table. Why would my histograms be telling me it is reading spark from 32 g/cyl when it is really reading from 64 g/cyl? Also I will copy my high octane table to my low table buy why would it only reference the low when there isn't knock present?

The turbo kit is close to being done so I thought I would get my 3 bar OS up and running.
What years did GM stop using the ethanol content sensor and start using the fuel trims as an ethanol indicator? Should I use on of those OS's as my base or will it not work with my 2003 pcm?

it means your fueling is off. Calc cyl airmass is dependent on your fueling, the pcm approximates how much air is going in based on how many g/sec of fuel you are injecting; disclaimer, g/sec can also be lb/hr, lb/min, g/min, i just gave g/sec unit as an example. If your fueling/fuel injector data is wrong, your torque calculations are wrong, the calculated airmass is wrong, the spark tables will be wrong (to an extent unless you continue with the hack job and adapt to the wrong g/cyl data.)

Have a look at marcin's info

Yes, all my general info is correct. The truck is tuned correctly with fueling <2%. I am running an SD tune by the way. I just don't know why my calc airmass is half of my dynamic airmass. Wierd
Anyways, should I just apply the 3 bar OS to my current tune or should I try using the newer tune without an ethanol content sensor. I don't know if it will work correctly. I would like to be able to fill up with E85 when I want but if it won't work like I'm thinking, its no big deal.

and in regards to ethanol, try to get a sensor that readily tells you the % content, since its hard to get actual 85% ethanol, the variability is too high. Do not attempt to tune without a sensor unless you know the concentration will always be 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, which you can get from certain vendors but not from your regular e85 station. so 3 bar
