Help me analyze these dyno numbers....

If it matters these runs were made on a portable dyno. Both runs were made with all the mods in my sig EXCEPT the pulleys, and fuel pump which I just installed. Does anyone know why the A/F ratio would lean out with the higher fuel pressure? I'm wondering if the old stock pump couldn't keep up under the higher pressure. Also, now that I installed the 190lph pump where should I set FP, and can I expect a HP increase?

The higher setting is the more ideal A/F ratio for your combo.
Your analysis is on the money ... the factory 88lph pump doesn't carry the volume and struggles with the increased pressure ... but a little leaner makes more power too. :nice:

With the 190 I would set it at 40-43 and adjust up and down until the car feels good to you (if you're avoiding a dyno tune) ... I used to run mine a little fat, because the exhaust tone was deeper while in open loop ... yup, I'm a gear head :rolleyes: Running it fat just to hear those few intial minutes of depth :nonono:
