Most will go very lean down low (where it's making peak torque and needs to be fueled more) lean, then very rich at WOT to try and compensate.
My car is 11.8 across the board at WOT.
I don't understand what is so hard about achieving this.....but many tuners can't seem to "get it".
Of course, they'll all tell you it's "ok to be at 14.1 at 3500 as long as it's rich up top."
BS.
My car makes peak torque at 3300, and it NEEDS fuel there.
These clowns running their cars "so rich" only at high RPM are driving time bombs waiting to explode, not to mention...they are losing power down low and up high.
Too rich....you're slow.
Too lean, you;re slow (and on the verge of somthing very bad happening).
I don't even want to talk about ignition timing....
No wonder Ford voids the warranty on a Cobra is they see a chip was in it.
Just because someone has software doesn't make them a "tuner".
Sorry for the rant......just makes me angry to see tuners let stuff like this slide.
It ain't that hard!
Anyone ever hear of a scan tool?

JDM ran 10.80 or 10.81@130 last week on the stock IRS.
The 1/2 shafts were upgraded and did not break.
Theay heated up the tires, and made a REALLY hard launch (5,000 RPM) to find the breaking point. The upgreded shafts remained intact...the rear end broke.
They are constructing a girdle to keep this from happening.
Springs will reduce wheelhop.
"hard launch kit" will reduce wheelhop....the two together almost eliminate it.I share Jim's theory in that....with the proper shock/springs, and the correct 1/2 shafts with the girdle.....you can drag just as effectively with the IRS as you can with a live axle.
We'll find out.
One of my best friends just bought a live axle.
I'll be going the other route.
May the best ass win =o)
MiamiFan1354 said:Ok, I ordered the C&L 95mm kit, the bassani headers and Xpipe. Not sure what catback I want to put on it, was kinda hopin you all would have a good idea what would sound best?
And what about a throttle body? I saw the Acufab 65mm throttle body with inlet tube. Anybody use this? Says upto 25 RWHP, just seein if anyone else has this piece yet? Is it worth the $$?
550hp03cobra said:Accufab Single Blade Throttle Body, Pulley Kit with tensioner..., 4 inch cold air intake, full MagnaFlow X-pipe and catback system... A chip is a great idea too... should end up around 500hp to the wheels but it is well worth it....
Uncle Meat said:Please enlighten us with your 550RWHP combo because the list you provide above might get 440-450RWHP depending on the pulley combo.
