Jimmy,
I know your car was tuned, but did you have an A/F gauge installed to monitor at WOT?

Man your getting the **** end of it. Its all good when you get home you can make it up to him! Does anyone think it might have to do with the 05 motor? Just think about what a bad *** car its going to be now!

OOTB = Out Of The Box. The basic 91 octane map APS distribute is very fat (low A/F) under all boost conditions. The curve that was posted has been tuned and appears to be "very" lean in the mid band under boost. It should be "well under" 12:1 in that region regardless of octane 91 vs.93 use.

A really nice feature of the LM-1 + XD-1 combo is that you can set an alarm output such as: under >75% throttle + >3psi + <11.5 A/F flash red.
A great "oh ****" indicator. Some peeps run with no in cab telemetry and FI , IMO not a good idea. Boost + A/F + Fuel PSI are my basic faves, also a visual knock alarm , since mild knock events are not audible to the naked ear in the cab, especialy when wearing a helmet.

Chart is really LEAN from 2700-5000 rpms,car makes peak boost at like 4500 on the aps kit. might have been a bad tune,might have been a bad install,could be a combination of both,youll never know at this point.

wing
- too heavy, the hatch doesn't shut.
- top deck vibrates violently on freeways
- they drilled holes, so my hole trunk gets water logged on every car wash
wheels
- curbed it, fixed it and curbed the other one
others
- side skirt had a huge gap
- paint don't match,
- vallet azz made a huge scrap on my front bumper, an hour I got it painted and installed
- dime size chunk of paint came off from my new rear bumper.
