RE: Help engine bogging out
the thing is i was playing around with a stock charger the other day and i couldnt pick up any speed because my engine was bogging so would a retune be necessary or do i just need to keep my attention on fuel?

RE: Help engine bogging out
the previous owner said that it could require a new tune and a new dyno when he dynoed it was at 360rwhp and 370rwtq so and he ran a 12.3 on the 1/4 so i don;t understand why im not running to my expectations

RE: Help engine bogging out
For a while there I was having a problem like that when I would clean off the engine or drive through puddles of water. Water was getting into the MAF meter harness and making my car feel like it was running on 7 cylinders. You really need gauges to help you resolve your problem. I think my fuel psi reads 30psi @ idle. I would look into a dyno run, see how much it would cost. At least then you can see your car's air fuel ratio. It should float around 11.

RE: Help engine bogging out
Yea the previous owner had no problems what so ever and im not sure about the coil springs i will check that today, im bringing it to the guy that does my work and getting it redynoed and he will tell me if it needs a new tune which im assuming it does. To answer obsequious's question traction control is on but i dont punch it and it still bogs
