I'm starting a project on how to optimize IEA for the Holley units. Results have been very positive so far. Here's a few threads to read:
Here's S2H explaining why the Holley calculator is flawed
S2H explaining how to manipulate the calculator to get the results you want
81TransAm on how he calculates IEA so that the beginning is at exhaust close avoiding overlap
Me thinking out loud why IPW is better than MAP for the Y axis
Combining all of the above (read both posts)
My spreadsheet in the link above is very simple. You can change any value on the X-axis (RPM) & Y-axis (IPW). You can also change the exhaust close and it will push around the whole table. So far a few people have tried the IPW as Y-axis method with positive results, and a few others have tried my specific tables with positive results. Here's one guy that went from an IEA of 0° everywhere, which is rather extreme, to my Advanced Tables:

There's even before & after datalogs, all false lean spikes are GONE.
So if you guys want I can make advanced tables for you. The example on the Holley site should work if your exhaust valve close @ .050" is around 9 ATDC. Here's what you need for my strategy to work:
- Injectors that atomize well.
- Full sequential.
- Holley HP or Dominator V4 or newer.
- Two empty Advanced 2D Tables (not by gear).
- I can do one 2D Table but two gives a lot more resolution.
- Cars driven on the street will benefit more than all out race cars.
Here's what I want from you:
- Current Global File, fuel table does NOT need to be accurate.
- Datalog that matches current Global File, various loads & speeds.
- Cam specs @ .050".
- Injector distance to intake valve.
- An IEA table that is tuned is really nice, especially dyno tuned on the top end, the better your table is the closer mine will be.
- Relearn the base fuel map after my IEA changes (it will change especially idle & cruise) and send it to me with another datalog.
Here's what to expect:
- Drastically reduced raw fuel smell at idle.
- Much better off idle performance.
- Better tip-in.
- Cooler temperatures, but your mileage may vary.
- Closed loop will work better, you may be able to increase advanced control.
- Even if your base fuel map is highly tuned, it will pull fuel in areas.
- You might be able to reduce AE fuel.
- You might be able to reduce Startup & Coolant Temp Enrichment.
- Overall street mannerisms should improve.
- False lean spikes in your datalogs gone.
I'm also going to do a few things with every Global File I get:
1) Add AE MAP FUEL & AE TPS FUEL under internal inputs, so you can see how much fuel these add in your datalogs in lbs/hr.
2) Possibly rescale your Base Fuel Table on the bottom row. Many people have 0 or 1 for MAP there. Makes converting to VE look awful. I will also plug in reasonable numbers on that row.
3) Transfer Learning To Base WITHOUT smoothing, then if it needs smoothing I will do it manually. You can do this first if you want.
