LOL, I agree.
It's been recommended a lot.
I just wondering if I should give it a try.

I'm going to go ahead and get the sniper kit.
Hopefully it will tell me what I need to know to get it running right.

i have downloaded the update for long and short term correction. The only thing that still bugs me about the recon data logger is that the open and closed loop is backwards. but i havn't seen the other link you given ill have to check it out.

The OL/CL thing bugs me too, I know what the problem is but without access to the Sniper source code I can't fix it.

Just set you mind to Red = Closed (which is BAD 'cause the PCM is calling the shots), Green = Open (GOOD because your settings are in control)...

Also, I have been playing in Commando with making OL happen sooner and more often. It increases power but can kill fuel economy, there's got to be a balance there though...

Good news, changing the fuel filter fixed the 181 code and it hasn't popped back up since.
I took out the catted H-pipe (looked like an aftermarket high flow) and put in an OR X-pipe.
As soon as I pulled out the old H-pipe I heard something rattling around inside of it and white junk fell out. Anyway, she sounds like a mustang now and runs like one too. Thanks Cliffyk and blackstallion for your help.
