About the A/F no change at all, runs exactly the same with better idle and a louder POSHHHHHHHHH!!!

Just completed this mod.
Idle is much smoother.
I was expecting the blow off to be way louder but i can't honestly notice much difference. I think i heard one blow off that was louder but I still get flutter and the same whoooosh sound. Maybe i'll have to wait til its not so windy around here to notice more.

I dont have an A/F guage and my tuner is on vacation, however the car feels great, idles smooth, good response-maybe even better than before, no lag, and my egt's are in check. Many felt this wouldn't affect A/F so im hoping the same for now until I have a chance to check it.

Ok, 40 degree weather and I hit around 8psi and heard the Whoooooosh. It is louder. Not immensely louder but definitely a slight increase. My coolant seems to stay in the reservoir more now. Im not sure if this helps but seems to so far. Thanks nice mod!
