I love the torque band on your motor, thats exactly what Im looking for.
ps- your motor confuses me, where do the other 2 intakes lead too? a front mount intercooler?

is that your setup ?
there was another guy with a sweet custom aftercooled setup on a red Fox.
Love the blower whish they could make an aftercooled Mamoth setup for the fox (5.0)i wouuld buy it in a min.

Holy ****. Can't believe the tuner even completed the run seeing a/f #s like that in a boosted car. I would have ripped him out of my car by the throat.

I might be wrong here but once you get that A/F down wont you loose HP...i know when you go richer it takes away some HP...I hope not tho...
I wouldn't even drive that car except back to the shop you had it tuned at and up the tuner's arse.
I just did one pull to see what hp i would get i did not get it tuned the place that i brought it to is vary good at what they do. They told me it would not be the best idea to run my car up to high but i did it any way and it still runs fine. Would i do it again not after i seeing how lean it was. i am getting it tuned next weak. it just goes to show how important it is to get a good tune 
Agreed, only an idiot would stay in it after seeing numbers like that.
No, it'll probably gain horsepower.
14.7 is stoichiometric or theoretically "perfect", though typically a safe tune is richer than that. Yes, sometimes you sacrifice a little power by going with a richer, safer tune. However, anything above stoich is dangerous and could cause engine damage, and also will rob you of power. Looking at his A/F, he was well above 14.7.

It will gain power.
Yea, no leaner than that. I've seen much crazier things survive though.

I tend to diagree..I think if he goes to 11.5 or Richer i think he will loose HP maybe pick up some torque were the KB shines...Just my opinion...I can be wrong not the 1st time...LOL..Im sure he will post new numbers when he is done...

Uhh. There isn't really anything to have an opinion on or disagree with. It will pick up power. That's just how it is...
